Small Bust Adjustment – No Darts or Princess Seams
Most sewing patterns are made with B-cup bust sizes. That means if you have a smaller bust cup size, you’ll likely need to do a small bust adjustment.
In this post, you’ll see how to do it when your pattern has no darts or princess seams.
Steps for Small Bust Adjustment
- Pin your sample as shown and measure the amount you’ve pinned.
- Come back to the pattern. On a new paper, trace the entire outside from the Low Point Shoulder (LPS) to the waist and mark where the armhole is. You’ll have a new piece missing the armhole and side seam lines.
- From that little mark, measure the amount you pinned and mark it coming in from your side seam.
- From your LPS, pivot your old pattern towards the mark. Draw your new armhole line.
- From the new armhole, pivot your old pattern to the waist. Draw your new side seam line.
Always remember to true your seams!
