I had forgotten to adjust the side piece as well 😅 thank you for reminding me to do it.

This was super helpful, Amy!! Especially the mention of measuring from the seam lines instead of the cut lines when transferring adjustments to the center front-thanks for sharing!

Hi there, this tutorial is super helpful! I just have one more question I didn't find in the other comments : when you adjust the side seam to take off the excess you just added at the waist, you actually change the length of the seam : how do you adjust the back pieces so that the side seam matches? Do you do another cut the pattern/dart manipulation to take the extra length off? Thank you :)

Depending on how much you added in your FBA, shifting the side seam shouldn’t make that much of a difference. If it is significantly longer, I would meet in the middle by cutting some off the front side seam and adding some to the back side seam.

Oh my goodness. Having to do a fba makes me want to give up sewing 😔

So did you keep trying? I want to give up too but I keep trying.

Thank you for this tutorial. I was just thinking that if a person needed to add a lot to the bust, it will change the armhole drastically. What would you do to get a normal armhole after that? Also, if it were a bodice with the center fronts crossing over each other, and you added about 2” to it, it may end up with the center front being way too long and flopping open. Would you maybe just increase the side front seam side of the center front piece? I definitely want to try this, but as my cup size is way bigger than the pattern is made for, it will be necessary to do a very big adjustment.

Mama and Kiki Adventures hi there! Yes the armhole will look a little different after your FBA, especially a more drastic one, but the length of the armhole is the same and once sewn up with the other pieces should fit the same as well. If you like, you can reshape the armhole a bit by hand, just make sure you aren’t changing the length if it’s a garment with a sleeve. Also for larger FBAs, you can try making your pivot point for line 2 higher up on the armscye (about 1/2 way instead of 1/3) - this will give you a less drastic change in shape.

Mama and Kiki Adventures For your other question, I have a hard time picturing what you mean. If the style in question is a wrap top, you are still only doing the adjustment to the apex line of the garment, so there shouldn’t be any extra length added to the actual crossover at center front, as all of the additions are happening along the apex line, and your center from should not gape. However in the past I have simply drafted out a wedge from the cross line of a wrap top to the side or waist seam before to combat gaping. Does that make sense?

Yes, your solution makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I will try it, I’m just getting myself mentally ready for it;)
