I am making it long distance for my dd for her honeymoon. She is slender but has a 32DD cup size and I was trying to decide whether or not to make an fba and add a dart. I realize that besides her vertical bust point I also need her bust point width. Sigh. Now I have to explain to her how to measure it.

I ...Great tutorial, and your friend looks thrilled!<br />I think adding some bust shaping is a great idea. Alternatively I think one could add the dart (angled of course because horizontal dart=yuck) without the additional length in the front. Because there is no side shaping you could handle the length difference in the back. This way the little band insert would stay higher?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-14062882901198460482017-08-28T03:45:54.182-07:002017-08-28T03:45:54.182-07:00What a nice use of pattern/fabric.
