This video is so underrated. Thank you.
So glad it was of benefit to you. Thank you!
I could cry. For the past 2 years I've been avoiding my sewing room because nothing fits right and it becomes frustrating. All of the adjustments I make don't work and end up feeling like I'm incapable. I can sew from patterns without adjustments but it otherwise it is always a disaster. But I've watched this video over and over. I pause it and then resume as I follow your step by step instructions. THE BUST FITS!!! And my armholes aren't ginormous. Thanks Glenda. Now I need to figure out how to move the waist darts to the proper position and then I will be able to sew my dress using my intended fabric. I can't wait till my dress kit arrives. Thanks again Glenda!!!

@Vllamas Our "Good Stitch" is the greatest! I know it has been a year since you posted your comment. If you haven't figured it out yet, the waist dart is placed 4" from the side seam OR for us more developed girls... right under the Apex.
Excellent best instructions I have ever watched
Thanks so much, Debra. Glad it was of benefit to you.
Thanks, can't wait for my pattern to arrive so I can sort out my issues.
You’re the best teacher EVER! For the first time, I actually get this process. Thank you 🙏
I was missing A to E as the new fold line... No wonder my full bust adjustment never worked out!!!! Mystery solved after 2.5 years of failed TH-cam full bust adjustments.
Oh happy days!!! Linda, I could kiss you. Thanks so much!
You are most welcome - I’m glad this information was of benefit for you
This video helped me very much thank you Caroline
I've seen this video before. And, I've seen other FBA and adding darts but I still leaned something new. So seeing this video again was very helpful. The mind doesn't always absorb everything the first time. A refresher always helps.
Thank you so much Glenda.
Best lesson I have seen so far on bust adjustment. Talented and very pleasant. Thank you!
"The Good Stitch" is so wonderful! I love how whimsical and kind and patient she seems! I would be your friend in real life! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you for your lovely comments. I'm happy to share my knowledge.
I’m glad I found this video. I got frustrated doing my pattern for more than 5 times. Such a neat and clear explanation. ❤️🙏🏽
Glenda, You're the best instructor. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much. Your kind comment is much appreciated!

Superb and easy to learn
Thank you, I'm so glad this was of benefit to you.
I really appreciate how thorough this tutorial was, thank you!
Thank you Glenda from a lot of we who have large busts.
If you'd like to see how to add a bust-fitting dart to a dartless bodice pattern, watch this short video for the step-by-step process. I show you how to do this using the SFD Shirt Kit pattern. As many of you know, it's our uni-sex kits and will sew shirts for both women and men and therefore it doesn't start out with a bust dart. But some of you ladies with fuller bust lines. will always get a superior fit when you have some bust dart shaping. Enjoy!
Glenda the Good Stitch
this was a great video. I'm still learning pattern cutting and this was the most easiest vid I found I understood. simple yet very effective x
I had to watch twice to get it. I own the shirt kit and can't wait to use it.
The instructions were so clear and easy to follow! I am so excited to start making my own costumes that will actually fit!
Thank you so much for making this video! I just bought the Shirt kit, not only for the helpful materials, but I want to support such a wonderful resource of information! :)
Thanks so much for your comment and input. I'm glad this information was clear and easy to follow for you.
I just created a bust dart perfectly following your directions!
that's great to hear. I'm glad that this video was beneficial for you.
I wear an I cup. Some patterns I have tried do have a full bust bodice option but are still too small. Also needing a rounded back adjustment and to lengthen patterns due to being long waisted I still struggled with a good fit. I always had to wear my clothes a little big in the neck and shoulders to have enough room for the bust. Can’t wait to try this method. I’m saving up to get your dress and pants kits. Fabulous teacher Glenda. You make it so easy.
Ann Besterci - You are most welcome and thanks for your comments and feedback. You absolutely need to try our Dress Kit and finally achieve a well-fitting bust dart.
I'm so excited - I got my shirt kit today and the instructions are awesome! I'm looking forward to making blouses that actually fit me. You have so many video tutorials to support your system and you're an awesome teacher.
Excellent tutorial. For the first time it all became clear. Thank you very much.

Thanks for explaining it so beautifully
Thank you. You are a great teacher! Will I need to lengthen my back pattern the same amount I did the front?
Thank you, Glenda. I did hear that, but didn't catch on that it was the same for everyone. I am going to give this a try very soon!
I have looked and looked for a tutorial for this ..thank you!

Thank you so much for this lesson you are an amazing teacher
Thank you so much for your youtube videos. Amazed to find this video as I was just wondering how do I include dart on my dartless diagram of the dress top. I was wondering adding the dart, the armhole side goes up or the lower portion of the dart go littel downwords. Here it gives clear idea what and how to add a afart. I have never worked with a pattern. I am from India now in the USA. And my passion to make dresses, blouse, saaree blouse on my own. You know out of frustration too, that in India, when we give the material to the tailor to sew for us, invariably they are "over busy" and asking 7-10 times making special visit to the tailor, coming home with big "NO". And I would bring back the material given to tailor and try to sew it by myself. With trial and error, I have learned a lot. Still am not at ease with using the ready made pattern. Opening up the pattern on that large tissue paper make me so nervous as I really don't know how to read the instructions! :-D I think I will get your "Sure fit design kit" and try to learn making my own pattern for myself. Thanks for your sharing your knowledge and expertise.
@Meera Bakshi - you are most welcome and thanks for commenting. We have lots of video assistance (both free and paid for) to help you start to feel comfortable with drawing your own patters and designing with them. You just have to take the first step and invest in one of our Dress Kit Combos to get started.
I want to try the sure fit designs club. I truly want the patterns. Thank guy
@Marty Perry - join any time...there's no cost to join.
@@surefitdesigns I think your system is going to be my Christmas present to myself… I love this idea
@@FindJustMarty you'll be joining thousands upon thousands of seamstresses who benefit from sewing with this fitting system and have excellent fitting clothing.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I have a question though. I have an A/B cup and still have these diagonal lines. I have pinched out roughly a 4cm dart on the musli. How do you add a dart when you don't need the fba but want it to sit better? I tried just drawing it on, but when i try to true it the side is too different from the back.
Use the directions that are in this video, but simply make the dart narrower.
Awesome! Thank you. This was easy to followw
Very useful, excellent tutorial, thank you very much!!!!
You are most welcome!
How did you learn all this stuff! It’s amazing what kind of knowledge you have!
With age comes experience and knowledge. I wish I was 40 again with the knowledge I have today. Thanks so much for your comment.
Thanks
Hi Glenda, Thank you for this tutorial. I would just like to ask how you figured out where point D should be?
1/3 of the armhole
Wonderful, thank you.
You are most welcome. I'm happy to hear the information is of benefit to you.
Thank you, very easy to understand method.
My question is. When spreading the dart does that mean that the weist measurement has increased? Do I need to subtract from the weist line and blend curve to the dart?
What if the garment has already been constructed? Same formula?
Hi mam. I love you teacher class so beautiful
*cutting with a rotary cutter towards your hand - countless quilters having a heart attack.Otherwise it's a great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Perfect.
You are most welcome...glad it was of benefit.
I’ve tried this, but my dart came out below my bust, by about two”. Another thing is...the back length. Common sense says to lower it, to match the front length, right? It didn’t come out even all around. The back was I believe, a little longer, after sewing to the front? Thanks for the video. It is helpful.
Grateful.
Petras Bodyworks - you are most welcome!
Great video - thank you! I have a (possibly stupid) question: do I need to make any adjustments to the back bodice piece after I have added the dart?
Thank you!
Thank you very much !
Hi Glenda, Thanks for the video. H/e width measurements are increased for dart pattern compare to w/o dart pattern. please advise have you bring back to the specs once after adding the bust dart?
I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.
Really excellent madam thanks
AHi Glenda thanks for the video but doesn't it make the front bigger as you added more right down the front?
Brava!!!
Thank you!
I guess the back needs to be lengthened to match the front?
Thank you!)
Mam I have a question how to adjust Beck part please clear this beck front both with front side bust dart please man thank you
I watched your excellent video today as I am making a torso sloper and wanted to have a side seam bust dart. Since I am not a large busted person (standard B cup) and would not need to expand it to a C cup size, , could I just draw in the dart (I was thinking of a 1 to 1.25 inch width) and then add that amount to the bottom at the hem? Hoping this may not throw anything out of whack resulting in a poor fit? any suggestions would be most welcome as I would like to do this correctly on the sloper. Thank you very much
@Dianne Underwood - the only way that would work is if you take the amount added for the dart all the way across from side seam to center front. You also need to true/perfect the dart cutting extension line on the side seam so that you have the proper shape of fabric to allow the side seam (with dart extension) to lay down smoothly/evenly on the side seam
@@surefitdesigns Thank you for your very prompt reply! Yes I had intended to add that amount across from side seam to center front. And use your method of trueing the dart to make sure the shape is correct for the dart. So happy this will work as I was scratching my head until I saw your video.
When you refer to bra or cup size, I just wanted to clarify, you're not talking about the bra size you are when you buy a bra at the store correct? You're talking about sewing cup sizes? Can you explain, how do I know which cup size I am in sewing pattern terms? Thanks!
In the Dress Kit instruction book there is a Guideline for choosing the appropriate dart size but it is a guideline only. Sometimes it does work out that the guideline is the same size bra cup you purchase - other times it's different. It's difficult to pin this down exactly because different bra manufacturers use different standard shapes for their unique brand.
When you add the dart, you also add more ease at the waist and hip. For the shirt, how would you deal with the extra volume?
Phyllis Campbell - yes this does add volume in waist and hip, but most women who do this adjustment need the extra volume. However, after a test shirt, if you find it too much, you could always give more shape to the side seams by curving them, or you could add internal waist shaping darts.
Glenda, what about the back side seam? if we make the side seam larger on the front, longer, we have to add some to back side seam also?
Yes! Both side seams have to be the same length.
BRAVO!!
Thanks Glenda..... I did the adjustments to the front.....what adjustments if any, to make to the back pattern?
No further changes or adjustments are required for the back as the side seam is supposed to end up being the same length as when you started out (if you've done the process correctly). Also, just a point of awareness, for these types of questions, please contact me directly at info@surefitdesigns.com as I'm always checking my email, but don't always get in to answer YT comments.
Would I need to lengthen the back as well to match?
@Laurie Bailey - no you don't. The back side seam is determined by the length of the front side seam minus the dart width.
U R genius madam
My cup size isn't large, but my bust and waist measurements are. How do I know how big to make my darts?
didn.t u increase the waist and bust side seams like that?
Hi Linda, my FBA looks a little baggy? Is this because the pattern already has 2" of ease across the bust? Should I remove the ease before a FBA?
Thanks!
I'm not sure how an FBA can look baggy. With Sure-Fit Designs you don't need to do FBA's because you will use the Adjust-A-Bust template and put in the correct size of dart width as you are drawing your pattern. I think you might be a little confused. And the Sure-Fit Designs bodice has 2.5" of bust ease. It should not be removed unless you want your bodice skin tight. Then it's called a Moulage.
@@surefitdesigns LOL, I can't wait to tell my husband (a retired Draftsman) that his bodice (body blueprint) design sucks! He said; "I can do that for you".
He added ease, but it wasn't enough, and the FBA looks awful.
I've sewn enough Slip Covers and home needs.... Now I'm going to tell him, I'm ordering your course! Sometimes I think men just enjoy wasting our time!
Thanks Linda!
So for an A cup, the dart process is complete at 4:46?
Laura K - no that's not correct. If you want to add an A cup dart width, then follow the process through as shown and explained but only spread the space open about 1/4". It's going to be a very small dart.
Does it work on "B cup size" as well?
@Clarisa Coker - yes it does (sorry for the delayed reply...just saw your question).
Hello Glenda and readers, Can anyone tell me how you locate point D? I couldn't seem to hear that in the video. Glenda already seemed to have it marked in pencil on her pattern. Thank you.
Point D is about 1/3 of the distance up the armscye from the underarm point.
can u show how to apply this on a fabric
I really like yourvideos
Thank you!
How do u connect all the darts
Doesn't it make the front waist and hips a lot bigger though
Is a B cup a 1/4 “ adjustment?
Yes, that would be about right.
surefitdesigns thank you very much!
Can you add a French dart to a garment that doesn’t have a dart?
Yes. How I would suggest, is to add the side seam bust dart and then transfer it to the French dart location.
surefitdesigns thank you.
need download
Hello pls how do I get the books am in Nigeria
I'm sorry, we are not able to sell to Nigeria
How far c was from the under arm (how many cm)
it depends on how low your apex is because C is a line extending to the side seam from your apex. The directions are also found in the Shirt Kit Instruction book. Also, we contacted you yesterday about your SFD order and suggested you order from the Canadian website - www.surefitdesigns.ca We have not heard back from you. Please check your email.
WoW!!!!
Hey...thanks for your feedback.
woah that's alot of work for a dart
