FULL BUST ADJUSTMENT
Do you struggle with wrinkles and drag lines around the bust? Do your shirt hemlines sit unevenly? Do you often feel there is way too much fabric in the upper chest? The Full Bust Adjustment can be right for any size body; if the difference between your full bust measure and your high bust measure is 3” or more – it’s probably for you! In this class, we will modify patterns and make mock-ups to test the fit. Choose a basic darted or princess-seamed bodice (suggestions given in supply list) and learn how to fine-tune the bust fit!
