I've made this again in a size smaller and it's still huge, so I may have to learn about the dreaded fba (but not for this garment!). I have been wearing this despite the fact that it makes me look about 8 months pregnant. There's one thing you can say for it, though, it's comfortable! Thanks for the tips.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327179373573408156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134871033173078237.post-10132573680508659492008-06-13T12:45:00.000-04:002008-06-13T12:45:00.000-04:00Maybe you have a larger-than-B-cup?

The next step (which I've never actually done, but want to) is to make a full bust adjustment. I'm guessing with all the extra ease you wouldn't have to do a FBA with this pattern. I think it looks cool.Green Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979217319265622671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134871033173078237.post-58645400102140245912008-06-10T11:46:00.000-04:002008-06-10T11:46:00.000-04:00AJ-- Back-up plans are good.

I can only suggest that you carefully measure your body/the actual pattern pieces/a garment you already own, and then determine what size to make from those numbers. <BR/><BR/>Sewing for my toddler is much easier and more fun!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962243760714546382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134871033173078237.post-87840791639461651252008-06-03T20:09:00.000-04:002008-06-03T20:09:00.000-04:00You're so funny!
