I appreciate that you took the time to produce a final draft with the adjusted areas colored, that really brought it all together visually. It helped me step back from my pattern and compare. Thank you for concise, well demonstrated video.

I have returned to dress making after at least 30 years and in that time put on weight and yes a larger bust. I have a very simple pattern with just two pieces and no notches, suitable for a beginner, and made it minus any alterations in a naff old fabric I have, to see how it looks and work out where I need adjustment. I have padded out a dummy to my size and I popped the blouse on that and just as you say the front rides up exactly as you say, something I wouldn't have noticed on me! You demonstration is simply superb and I'm now about to cut up my pattern as you show. I'm so impressed with your video. Many thanks. Julie

Love this, you didn’t mention it but it’s important to remember to take the seam allowance of your pattern into account when plotting your measurements. In a looser fitting garment it wouldn’t necessarily be an issue but in a more fitted one it could make a difference

You are correct. There are times when I do not want a bust dart in a garment. I will try this. Is there a particular guide as to when to use 3/4 of an inch versus, say 1/2 inch?

What do you do if you are larger than an E-cup? My bra size is a 40G. I measure 40 inches across my bra band and almost 48 inches (47 3/4") across the largest part of my busts. My upper bust measurment is 43." I wear a size 16 dress. So what pattern size(s) would I use and how can I adjust the pattern without distorting it.
@denisewenke8323
@denisewenke8323 Ай бұрын
Pattern cup sizes have their own system. A B cup would be 2" larger than the upper bust measurement. For the measurements you listed, you could use a 44" bust pattern and adjust for an E cup or use a 46" bust pattern and adjust for a D cup. If you found a 45" bust pattern, it would take a DD cup adjustment.

There does not seem to be any guidance as to how far to move the lower half of the armscye laterally? A maximum of 3/4 of an inch, but… Is there a precise amount. Per cup size? otherwise I found this a great tutorial.

Thank you for this very clear video. I have two questions. The first is the same as another viewer: do you have any advice for the unfortunates with the bigger cup sizes? I am a 5ft tall older woman who wears a 36H. The second question is about how we should choose our pattern size. Obviously we are not choosing by bust sizes here. Most patterns I have seen don't list upper bust sizes. I think that women's patterns should list shoulder widths, but they never do. I find I not only have to expand the bust area but cut the shoulder width as well. I started sewing less than two years ago, so I am still figuring things out. Thank you.
@denisewenke8323
@denisewenke8323 Ай бұрын
If you are working with a misses pattern from one of the big pattern companies, measure your upper bust and add 2" to find the pattern bust size. For womens patterns, add 3" to your upper bust. They're usually based on a C cup rather than a B as with misses.
@sielsounds
@sielsounds 2 жыл бұрын
So what do you do if you need more than a 2" adjustment? And then what needs to happen to the back piece once the front is adjusted?
@denisewenke8323
@denisewenke8323 Ай бұрын
The truing up of the front is so that it will still match up to the back piece. Depending on how much more than 2" you need, the ease in the pattern might give you enough leeway. It's worth trying in a test fabric.

@chrisboyd3626
@chrisboyd3626 2 жыл бұрын
I noticed that there aren’t any answers to the questions on here so I will take a stab at your question. You don’t need extra length in the back because you have trued up your front to meet at the original side seam, you need extra length in the front to go over your bust, you do not need extra length in the back.
@valeriepoole1535

@@chrisboyd3626 many thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I am making a dress using this method rather than a top. The top of the dress is separate from the bottom and is sewn to the bottom of the dress afterwards. The back of the top has a waist dart so I also need to lower that and add length to it as I am low busted too. The front top also has gathering under the bust. So that's why I thought I needed to lengthen the back top. I'll do a toile first and see what it looks like. Thanks again.

There should not be too much adjustment to the sleeve. The only place you are making the armscye larger is at the underarm, so you would make the same adjustment at the underarm of the sleeve, and taper it as she does for the side seam of the garment.

@Retrochick330
@Retrochick330 3 жыл бұрын
No she didn’t. She moved the armscye back. The chest would be between the bust point and the middle and above the bust point. Fuller busts move the armscye forward, and she put the space there right where it needed to be. Sandra Betzina recommends taking out a quarter inch at the neckline to compensate if that helps.
