How To Adjust A Sewing Pattern For A Different Busttohip Ratio
Are you tired of ill-fitting clothes that just don't seem to hug your figure the right way? If so, then you're probably in need of a bust adjustment. Don't worry, it's easier than you think! With the right tools and a little bit of patience, you can have clothes that look like they were tailor-made just for you.
Here's how to do a bust adjustment:
How To
1. Choose your pattern size based on your high bust measurement. If the difference between your high bust and full bust measurements is more than 2 inches, you will need to adjust your pattern to fit your bust.
2. Measure your full bust and mark the measurement on your pattern. Divide the difference between your high bust and full bust measurements in half and mark this amount on your pattern, on either side of the bust apex.
3. Draw a line from the bust apex to the side seam, following the curve of the pattern. Cut along this line, stopping just short of the seam allowance.
4. Pivot the pattern at the bust apex, spreading it the amount you marked in step 2. Tape the pattern in place, and redraw the side seam, blending the seamline into the rest of the pattern.
5. Cut out your adjusted pattern piece and sew your garment as usual. You should now have a better fit in the bust area.
Tips & Tricks
- Always make a muslin or test garment first, to make sure your adjustments are correct before cutting into your final fabric.
- If you need to adjust for more than 2 inches, consider using a dart or adding a princess seam to your pattern.
- If you're unsure about how to adjust your pattern, there are many tutorials and resources available online. Don't be afraid to ask for help!
With these simple steps and a little bit of practice, you'll be able to adjust any pattern to fit your body like a glove. Say goodbye to ill-fitting clothes and hello to a wardrobe full of perfectly tailored garments!
