Yes the underarm is looser. I bought a large, washed it in hot water to shrink it 1st. I did not do anything to the sleeves (except the cuff) because I wanted it roomy. Always buy a size larger because they so shrink up a little when stitching on them.
I cut off the band and that made it shorter so I added batting to lengthen it.
You could taper the underarm if you don't want it that loose.
