Is the band sizing correct?
First, I had difficulty getting the proper computer settings to print the pattern to the correct size. Second, I was making the tank version with the banded armholes in size 10. I found that the size 10 band was too small to fit the armhole -- I needed to use a band several sizes larger to fit the armhole. *Hi there! The band for the tank version should be cut in a knit or ribbed fabric, so, even though it is shorter than the armhole measurement, that's correct. hop this helps!*
