Hi, so is the equivalent for trousers, of making sure a top fits ( by measuring your under arm or across the back, as you mentioned - then full bust adjustment,) measuring where your actual hips are and doing a full bum adjustment. Would this be a more flattering fit than doing what every pattern maker says and measuring the fullest part and calling that your hipline. I hope this question makes sense because I have literally struggled for years understanding trousers fitting. These tutorials are incredibly helpful thank you.
LOVE this question! So this is where the nuances come into play and you're spot on! If you find you know that your side seam lines would always sit in the wrong place due to compensating for a larger bum then measure at the actual hip line (or just take the front hip measurements and compare them) and then do a full bum adjustment would make a lot more sense and save time in this case. This is why I say these are the 'normals' to help choose the right starting size but it does vary from body to body and if you can help cut out some of the fit adjustments by choosing a starting size in a slightly different way then 100% go for it and go about the approach I mentioned with a top :) Sarah xxx
can you do a in depth video for a small bust adjustment.?
Of course :) I'll record and share it soon
