@Gernella I have patterns that go from a size 10 (from the 60's so more a size 6/8 now
) to a size 22! I have been a size 10-22 through the years:scream:
As most patterns are graded in sizes and cover a range, you can see where the adjustments are made by the company and carry it on a bit further, adding a bit here and there (or taking it off) to get the size you want.
It is second nature to me to play with the pattern while cutting out as there is
never enough boobie
I can pretty much do an FBA without any measuring or calculating these days and just do the adjustment while cutting out!
I also change the pattern with little things like adding a hood to a blouse pattern as I cut out. Not had any major disasters but wouldn't win me any prizes
