For full bust adjustments, try joining The Sewing Forum. There's LOADS on there on FBA's, and lots of really lovely people who will help.
ALL commercial patterns (with the possible exception of the XL, XXL etc sizes) are cut for a B-cup. So any of us ladies with anything bigger than that needs to do a FBA.
However, as I know that my waist always needs cinching-in anyway, I usually make a toile to the largest size, to allow for my DD boobage, and then take it in as appropriate from there. I then cut according to my toile, not the commercial pattern.
Nell, Frankensteined patterns R us!! I nearly always do this, too. My wedding dress, when Chris and I got married, was VERY Frankensteined - so much so that I could leave the pattern envelopes lying around and he didn't have a clue what my dress would look like! |
