Ruched front blouse FBA? Gathered on the center front seam?
Tiger B   Intermediate WI USA Member since 10/1/04 Posts: 202	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/1/12 5:08 PM I'd love to make this Burda pattern: http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/rouched-top-102012 But unfortunately I would have to do an FBA on it... but, how much? And where? Some of the ease for a larger bust size would be handled in the gathers all up and down the front of the shirt... some would be in more room around... I am doubting my usual pivot and slide method will work here. Thoughts appreciated!

Amount depends on the size you choose and how large your bust is. I choose my Burda size by my upper bust measurement and increase one size at the underarm. I figure my fba by subtracting the bust measurement of the pattern size from my bust measurement and dividing by two. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com
