Okay guys, this post has turned into a pretty long and reasonably epic one and that's because there's not actually a lot of information out there on doing Full Bust Adjustments on fitted knit patterns. There are lots of tutorials for FBA's on wovens, but not knits - which I suppose comes down to the fact that knits are much more forgiving. That being said, I completely understand that for some of you, an FBA may be needed, even on a stretchy knit like Bronte. I would always do a muslin to check if you can get away without doing one first though, and one thing you may want to consider trying first is cheating the extra room you need in the front by grading up a size or two in the bust on the front pattern piece only, and then adding length at the 'Lengthen/shorten' line on both pattern pieces. If you don't think that this is going to work for you though, then please read on... Doing an FBA (Full Bust Adjustment) The goal of an FBA is to add width and length to the front pattern piece to accommodate a bust that is larger than a B or C cup (most often a B cup in commercial patterns), without messing with the neckline. To do this, you generally slash and spread your pattern. (Note - you will end up creating a bust dart with a standard FBA, but don't worry, we'll talk about that in a moment). I'm not going to go into detail about how to do a standard FBA, mostly because there are so many great tutorials out there already (I love how clear this one is, but as I said, there are lots of great ones). What I would like to point out though is that when you take your high bust measurement and bust measurement to get how much you should be adding to your bust line, remember that you are dealing with a fitted knit pattern that is meant to have some negative ease (i.e it's deliberately smaller than your measurements and that's where the stretch comes in, to skim and hug your body). For this reason, I wouldn't add in the normal amount you would on a woven. Perhaps try adding half your normal amount to Bronte first, and then see if you need more. For example, if you have a 1 inch difference, try adding in 1/2 an inch first. One other thing you'll need to consider is where your apex actually sits on the pattern. Due to the fact that Bronte is a knit with negative ease, you can't necessarily hold the pattern up to you to find it (as you would on a woven). I honestly don't really have any scientific way of finding this either. All I can suggest is that you try on some other similar tops, locate your apex on them, and then transfer this to your Bronte pattern piece. Alternatively, make up a muslin without the FBA and locate it once you've got it on, then do an FBA on the pattern piece. I can't think of an easier way, but if you have one, do let us know! What to do with that dart you've now created... Now that you've done your standard FBA, you're going to be left with a side bust dart, and that's because you've added length to the side seam of the front and not to the back. That dart takes care of the extra length you've added so that your front and back pattern pieces will match along the side seam. Below is my 'faux' FBA on my mini Bronte pattern piece - I've just guessed where the apex may be and then have slashed and spread my pattern piece to create the imaginary extra room needed and therefore the side dart... Do you see that pesky dart we created on the side seam underneath the arm pit? Bronte (and most knit t-shirts) are dart-less, so how do you deal with this extra side length in a knit t-shirt? Below are three options, but there are probably more, so do let us know if you have one. 1 - Ease the dart into the side seam If you don't want to sew in a side seam dart, then you could think about rounding out the dart and then easing the excess into your side seam. I would approach this in much the same way I would when easing a sleeve cap into a set-in sleeve. Put some basting stitches into the seam allowance, gather them lightly into a 'cup' and sew up the side seam. If you have a length-wise stretch in your fabric, you could also think about stretching your back piece down a little to help accommodate any excess side ease from the front. Be careful when doing this though as you don't want to stretch your fabric so much that you end up with wrinkles and ripples in the final garment. 2 - Dart Manipulation 1. Once you've performed your FBA, you'll be left with a pattern piece that looks something like the below. You'll have a 'dart' at the side bust that you might want to rotate that dart out, so... Does this picture look like half a Transformer to anyone else? 2. Transfer the straight line of your bottom left pattern piece (the red dashed line below) onto the paper below your pattern, you'll use this as a guide in the next few steps. 3. At the pivot point circled below, bring your bottom left bodice section back up and tape in place. Below is what that'll look like, with the grey dashed line indicating the line you drew in step 2. 4. Cut back along that old 'dart' leg indicated by the red dashed line (yes, the one you just joined back up in step 3) BUT leave a pivot point at the side seam (indicated by the circle below). Using your pivot point, bring your bottom left section back up and align it with your original, dashed line. 5. True up your bottom hem. And you're done!! The honey coloured outline below is the original piece - you can see that you've kept the additional length and width that came from doing the FBA, but you've eliminated the dart at the same time. So that, Ladies, is how it's done. Let me know if you have any questions or have any success with this method! I'd love to hear about it. 3 - Sew the dart in For some people, sewing the dart into the t-shirt might just be the best option, particularly if you have a large cup size. This might seem like a strange thing to have in a knit t-shirt, but it's only strange because it's uncommon, and uncommon doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It will mean you will have a beautifully fitting top, and if you have a busy print, you probably won't even notice that little dart line. Two issues you may come across with sewing a dart in however are - if you have a lightweight knit, the dart may move around underneath, and with a heavier knit, you may see the outline from the right side. To combat both of these issues, you could cut the dart out close to the seam once it's been sewn in. Do you have any tricks for doing an FBA with knits? xx J

Blogger: Jenn Meitin Williams Advanced Full Bust Adjustment In a previous blog post, a simple method of tackling a full bust adjustment (FBA) was explained. That method is great for a quick and easy adjustment, especially if the adjustment needed is small. If the bust is on the larger end, this method is more accurate and will ultimately fit better! To determine if a full bust adjustment is needed, refer to this blog post: Full Bust Adjustment: Easy Method. To start, we need to determine how much to add to the pattern. LLK patterns are drafted for a B cup (2-inch difference between upper and full bust). For every inch that your bust is over that 2” difference, an extra 1/2” bust width is needed. Let´s break that down. We will use these measurements for this example: Upper Bust 38.5” Full Bust 43.25” Difference 4.75” There are already 2” accounted for in the pattern since it is drafted for a B cup. Meaning that a 38.5” upper bust is sized for a 40.5” full bust. Since our full bust is 43.25” we need to adjust for the difference. 43.25” - 40.5” = 2.75” Another way to look at it is by subtracting 2” from the measured difference of 4.75” 4.75” - 2” = 2.75” This amount is the total amount needed for the whole front bodice. However, we are only working with half of the pattern piece. Therefore we need to divide 2.75” in half, giving us 1.375”. That is our magic number! Cut out the front bodice pattern piece and hold it up to your body to get the approximate location of the your apex (or nipple). Make a dot on the pattern piece at this location. Now draw three lines as shown below. All three lines will start at the apex point that you drew. Draw line number one to the armscye approximately one-third of the way up from the side seam. Draw line number two straight across to the side seam perpendicular to the grainline. Draw line number three straight down to the bottom parallel to the grainline. Cut along the lines as shown, leaving two pivot points: one at the seam allowance mark and one at the apex. Tape the bottom of the bodice along a straight line on your cutting mat. Gently slide the bottom right corner of the bodice down and to the right to create a 1.375” gap (the number calculated above) between the two vertical lines. A “dart” like shape will naturally open at the side seam. Slide a piece of paper under the bodice, (tape it down so it doesn’t shift) and draw a line along the right side for reference. Now the left side of the bodice needs to be adjusted to match the new bottom hem of the right side. Cut along the lengthen/shorten line and slide that piece down to match the right side. We are almost there! We don’t want to keep the dart so we are going to close it. Rotate the right bottom side up to close the dart and tape it shut. Make sure to keep the top right piece and the highlighted spot in the same location. Only rotate the bottom piece. Cut along the yellow line, leaving a pivot point at the side seam. Rotate the piece up to close the dart until the bottom left corner is aligned with the reference line drawn. Now that the pieces are all in place, redraw the hem line and cut out the revised pattern piece. The revised hem line will be a gradual curve to meet back up with the side seam. The next step is a personal preference. If you feel like you will need a touch more room at the waist, the above pattern piece is finished and can be used to complete the pattern. However, if you would like to keep the waist hem the same width as intended, you will need to blend the side seam back in. To do so, place the original paper pattern piece over the revised piece lining up the center fold and neckline. Make a mark where the original waist hem width hits the revised pattern piece. Redraw a new side seam to blend back to the mark made above. Be sure to start at a point below the closed side seam dart so any needed width from the bust area is not removed. The finished pattern piece should look similar to the photo below!
