In sewing, the armscye is the armhole, the fabric edge to which the sleeve is sewn. The length of the armscye is the total length of this edge; the width is the distance across the hole at the widest point.

In some older sewing texts (e.g. Gynametry by M. V. Coleman, published in 1887 by Byrd & Pattillo) the term was spelled "arm's eye".
