How to adjust the bust point (height): Darts & princess seams. Let's improve our fit together.

  • I've always thought that the fit around the bust is paramount for an overall well-fitting garment and the standard bust height that patterns use might not necessarily be matching our body.
    I am focusing on bust dart and 2 types of princess seams: from the armscye and from the shoulder to show how I do these height adjustments DAILY. These tips apply both for lowering and raising the bust point. In my case, I always need to lower the bust point, but the concept is the same.
    I am also sharing how to obtain that magical number that is the bust height.
    I hope this is useful for your fitting journey.

    I am 80 and have just decided to get back into sewing for myself, which has always been an utter failure in fitting. I just recently learned about lowering a side dart which I've done successfully, but I have avoided princess styles my entire life simply because I did not know how to lower the curve to fit my body. Now I know.!!!!😂

    Good job on the dart video. FYI, the big 4 pattern companies’ fit model in her early 20’s with a B cup size so that’s why most of us need to lower the dart as we age.

    I’ve been enjoying binging on your videos over the last couple of weeks. You’re so knowledgeable and you explain things extremely well.
    The biggest lesson i’ve learned from you is, it’s unrealistic to expect to be able to whip out a brand new pattern and make a well fitting garment. I need to slow down, expect to spend a day or three adjusting the pattern & making a muslin. Then make a well fitting garment. If i want to do a one day marathon, i need to make a previously adjusted pattern, (or a shapeless sack dress, which always look awful on me!). That has been a hard lesson, even knowing new patterns simply will not fit me, I always hope.

    I have a pattern with princess seams I have always wanted to make but never have because I just couldn’t find any information on how to move the bust point on princess seams. I knew how to move a dart level by cutting a rectangle around it and use it all the time but this information on how to do it for a princess seam you have given makes total sense so now I can make my dress. Thank you so much.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles

      Sorry, interrupted 🤪. As an adult, after having children, I could never get a pattern to fit, so I gave up. Now, 40+ yrs. later, I’m attempting to give this another go. I had no idea how to make these kind of adjustments! No wonder nothing fit! Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️. I always learn something from you!

      I understand. When I was in my teens and 20s never needed fit adjustments and as my body has “evolved”, now in my 40s, nothing would’ve fit me without these changes.

      Videos of this nature always have a clear title. There’s a limited number of characters available for a title, so I am limited that way. Thanks for watching.

      Of course you can. Why couldn’t you. In this video I talk about sewing princess seams and the difference for stiff fabric and for softer fabrics. th-cam.com/video/WDe3yTo_zGA/w-d-xo.html

    If the pattern does not state that it is especially laid out for bust sizes bigger than a "B", (which is the case with most patterns in pattern magazines) then you have to measure the bust point from the middle of the shoulder seam to the extended line of the bust dart and compare it with your highest bust point. In most of the cases you will find, that the side bust darts will be way above the highest point of your bust. I have seen many examples of this on web sites that advertise their patterns with sample garments made by the customers and I have seen this basic mistake so many times. They even make this mistake when offering patterns for sizes from 46 upwards to 54. It just makes no sense, because the larger bust circumferences stem from a large bust, not a large rib cage or a huge back and in these cases, the breasts are more prominent and thus the distance between the shoulder seam and the side bust dart must be much longer. Thank you to Karina for explaining how to do this alteration, it is a routine that every hobby seamstress who's sewing , tops, blouses, jackets and dresses in "plus sizes" must perform on any commercial pattern. I find this extremely annoying, so it's good to have this procedure demonstrated here. Much appreciated. 😊

      The high darts are a pet peeve of mine, even in patterns that have larger cup sizes. I'm glad it's an easy fix.
