Full Bust Adjustment Workshop – Make clothes that fit

Most commercial dressmaking patterns are made to fit someone who wears a B or C cup bra.
If you are wearing a bigger cup size you may find that you have to go up a size (or 2) to get the room you need.
But then the clothes are often too wide across the shoulders and the neckline gapes.

Learning how to carry out a Full Bust Adjustment to the pattern before you cut out the fabric will be a game changer.

By slashing and splitting the pattern you will be able to add room around the bust, while the garment still fits neatly across the shoulders and the neckline sits flat.

We will look at different styles – bust darts, princess seams, drop shoulders – to enable you to feel confident that you can get the fit you need.
