Hello,

Patterns do not typically give the high bust measurement on the back of the pattern envelope (some do, such as Love Notions and Cashmerette).
However, for those with busts larger than a B cup (or if you have more than a 2 1/2″ difference between your bust and high bust), it can be beneficial to use your high bust measurement as though it is the bust measurement when determining which pattern size to cut out. This is because the shoulders, neck and back of that pattern size are likely to be closer to your ‘frame size’, and the only alteration that would be required is an FBA. Whereas if you used your full bust measurement to find your pattern size, the bust may fit, but the armscye, shoulder and neck may be too large and require major alterations above the bustline.

This discussion is very helpful in explaining this: https://sewing.patternreview.com/SewingDiscussions/topic/106242

Hope this helps!
Best,
Nicki

Hi,

Unfortunately I am not overly familiar with this adjustment, as it is not one that I have to make on any of my own garments. However, here are several great resources that can help you with this:

This is an excellent pattern to work with. I found it very forgiving of my errors and easy to work with. It helps that I’m not having to work on myself to make adjustments.

Hi there Delicia!

That’s an awesome question! Here’s a link to a Bullet Bra pattern that shows you how to create the bra to fit your exact size! I hope this helps!
