Grade the seam allowance by trimming the binding seam allowance in half.

Clip around the armhole to, but not through, the stitching line about every inch or so.

Understitch the bias facing by stitching close to the seam through the binding and the seam allowance. I stitched at roughly 1/16″ here but only stitch as close as you feel comfortable.

Press the binding to the underside of the garment making sure to roll the seam to the underside as well. The understitching you just put in will help this along tremendously.
