OMG Absolutely brilliant thank you so much. I am sewing the French navy,vetiver top and was just about to give up on it because I couldn’t get the adjustment right. But you just cracked the ‘puddling’ issue for me so I’m gonna try again. I’ve watched sooo many videos and yours is the only one that’s helped on this issue many many thanks ❤
So happy to find this. I am slim with a large bust so fitting issues can be a nightmare for me. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience, I’m sure this solution is going to be a revelation 😊
I’ve been sewing for years, but details of how fit works is life long process. DEEPLY appreciate your time, effort and shared experiences. Learning so much from you, about the subtle fit, even though I don’t need FBA in most cases.
I wish I had this understanding when I was sewing a princess seam in dresses for myself and others. We just lived with ‘Puddling’ if there was any. I’m grateful to get this insight now so I can correct it. But you are very specific in your explanation and diagrams that I feel like I understand. I’ve not done adjustments on paper. But guess who’s changing their ways! I’m getting happier every time I watch another video. Thank you🌺
Thanks for sharing! No one I grew up with did paper alterations either, their garments fit fine as well. I think I just enjoy "origami side" of it all.
This has to be the best information on fitting an armhole princess seam I have ever seen! And I have tried many methods over the years! As someone with full frontal projection (5" difference from upper bust to full bust and 6" difference back down to the under bust plus thin arms, princess seams have been a nightmare for me! Your explanation is so very clear and makes so much sense - Thank you Adrian!
Excellent content, Andrea! After doing adjustments on paper forever, I just know what’s needed and do this very fba directly on fabric when cutting out 😂.
Wow, you talk so much sense, and make it so easy to understand too! I’ve got a self drafted sloper that I created a Princess line to the shoulder Tunic pattern from. It fits really well, or so I thought until I realised that there’s extra right in the area above the bust. Looks like I’m going to be making some changes before I use it again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊
Hey Adrian!!! I’m back… Moved a month or so ago and just got my room together!!! Funny I pulled out a dress I previously made today and it doesn’t have a dart in the upper breast. I thought it was the armhole… This is wonderful info!
Congratulations on the move and more so getting your studio back. I just made a no bust dress , McCall’s 7242. Now I need to pull it apart. Yikes. I knew better. 🤦🏾♀️
Full and low bust, so a forced armhole dart happens every time. This well-organized and well-taught explanation is going to fix my gaping armhole. Thank you!!!
This is so helpful. Thank you! I do wonder about the shoulder princess seam. Do the same contouring changes apply? Do you have a video addressing these changes for PS which go to the shoulder? Also, which is better for DD or DDD? Shoulder or armsyce? Thanks again.
I am working with a Vogue pattern and after regular grading I had this exact issue. I had almost decided to just make it with the gaping, cuz these adjustments intimidate me! (Really I think that there are some basic things I just don't get, but I'm not really sure what it is I don't know. 🤷🏿♀️)

Excellent content, Andrea! After doing adjustments on paper forever, I just know what’s needed and do this very fba directly on fabric when cutting out 😂.
And yet, so many need the basic understanding and need to put it to pen and paper. Thanks for watching.

You are doing fine. There are tweaks that defy written instructions. Go with your gut and trust yourself.
I like this alteration. Do you also have a bust alteration for the princess seam that goes to the mid=point of the shoulder?

If you also have to lower the apex, when would you do it?
Thanks!
You’ll know. I only follow the curve. I don’t waist time cutting the section of the curves. I just slide down and out.
