set-in
Attached at armhole
Set-in describes a part that is fitted or inserted into a prepared space rather than attached on top.
Most commonly describes sleeves sewn into armholes of a garment, creating a smooth shoulder line: a set-in sleeve, set-in pockets.
The hyphen distinguishes the adjective from the verb phrase: The sleeves are set in at the shoulder.
