You would need to fold the darts on the new paper pattern to make sure the side seam/hemline was straight before cutting off the excess at the seam portion of the dart. If you cut your muslin on Jill’s new guidelines you would be lacking a little fabric at the seam once the darts were sewn.

I’d like to know how to do an extra large full bust adjustment for larger than a D cup. It would be nice to hear from the designers who design for full busted stars like Dolly Parton.
I am a DD-E. It would be great to do a video like this for the large bust adjustments.
could you teach me how to measure and cut that pattern from scratch please
Hi Yvette. For this video, a commercial pattern was used. If you would like to learn how to draft your own pattern pieces, this is a great resource:
