Fit Clinic, Episode Four!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to bring you the next installment in our Fit Clinic Series!
In Episode Four, we cover the most requested topic - bust adjustments!
In this episode, we cover common bust fitting problems and show you how to make Small Bust Adjustments and Full Bust Adjustments in multiple garments, including ones with darts, gathers, and princess seams.
I know this is a lot of info to take in, so check out the attached PDF handout that you can have on hand the next time you are making a bodice muslin.
I hope you love this month's Fit Clinic!
Xoxo,
Gertie

Thank you SO much for this!
Thank you. I so hope that the fit clinic series continues next year with the new theme.
Great training! For the most part I am fortunate because I am a fairly Standard B cup. However, sometimes halter tops are a little too roomy for me and when I purchase vintage patterns I can't always get my standard size so I need to adjust the pattern. I can generally get close so for example I am a 32 B I may only have the option of a vintage pattern for a 30 or 34 bust. Thanks very much Gertie!
Love it, as always! Thank you ❤
This is exactly what I have needed. It's like you read my mind lol
Oh my goodness, thank you. I just made a N&D dress, and I struggled so much with my SBA that I redrafted the bodice without any darts at all, which did not lend an authentic period silhouette. Now I can make this dress again, with SBA, and more confidence. <3
Great explanations and examples, thank you!
