Full bust adjustment.
« on: April 06, 2020, 17:17:42 PM »
Today i have made a dress that I have made before with no fitting issues but this time it is too big on the upper chest. I have remeasured myself and discovered I have lost 2 inch from my upper bust measurement. I am now thinking that I need to go down a pattern size and start doing a FBA.
But i am finding conflicting advice: you take upper bust away from full bust or you take lower bust from full bust and adjust accordingly.
If it is lower from upper then I just need to grade from the chest but if it is upper from full the it's FBA or will I just get the same result regardless.
What measurement do you use?
It's not easy being this perfekt

Take upper bust measurement away from full bust measurement :)
