But, this is where your sleeve seam should lay.
Yeah, I didn’t know where that was either. We are actually looking for the place on your arm where the Trapezius is. The end of the shoulder is not where your arm, skin, muscles and tissues ends. Next, we need to measure from the end of the shoulder to the Bust Apex. It is more difficult than you would expect to find the most pointy part, because it is not necessarily right at the nipple.
You may need to look in a mirror and from several angles to make sure you are right at the peak of each breast. To get that measurement we need to measure from breast to breast, right at the fullest part of the bust, right at the peak of the curve. We need the center point of the bust, called the Bust Apex. And then I am going to throw 2 brand new measurements at you.

This says that the size used for the bust was too large for the chest and arms.īut really, who wants to go through that much fabric to find out if you need a FBA? There has got to be an easier way, a way to measure before all the cutting and sewing and disappointment happens.Īnd there is a way!! And it’s so simple! Measure your Upper Bust and use that measurement in place of the Full Bust.įirst, refer back to this post on How to Measure Yourself to make sure to measure the Upper Bust and the Full Bust correctly. Another common problem is putting on a shirt and it fits except for the neckline is really low and wide and the sleeves are too wide and long. Or the side seam near the bust is being tugged towards the front.
Or maybe there are pull lines at the side of the breast. A more common issue is having fabric pull between the breasts. Haha! Sorry! That might be just a little extreme, but it happens. One very clear sign is when your shirt is too tight and squishes your boobs until they look like you stuffed with a tissue box, or at least that’s how I describe it. And that’s a win in my book! How Do You Know if You Need an FBA? Because, as I have stated before, sewing with knits isn’t a science, there are so many variables because of the difference in patterns and fabrics to work with, so if something works for you and it’s different from what I use or different from what someone else does, it doesn’t mean you are doing it wrong, it doesn’t mean you should change, it just means you have found something different that works for you. Which one of them is correct? Well, probably all of them. Everyone seems to have their own way of doing things. I am going to be painfully honest with you, if you were to google “how to do a full bust adjustment” you are probably going to find half a dozen or more tutorials where they teach about doing an FBA and how much to adjust for and how to adjust in at least half a dozen different ways. It’s almost a dirty word because it’s not a fun adjustment and it’s hard to figure out how much to adjust by and where to adjust, and there is almost no way to know if you’ve gotten it right other than by making another shirt/dress to see if it fixed the problem. Hey sewing friends!! It’s Nellie from and today we are going to talk about a very difficult and long adjustment topic.
