Can anyone walk me through an FBA? I have no idea where to even start. Or if you have a good link? Thanks!

Check Debbie's blog, I just found out that she has published her great tutorials here.
They used to be on another website, and had gone missing for a while, I do recommend her tutorials, they're great, and there are several on doing a FBA.
Good luck doing your first FBA, I found out a few years ago that I need that too, and once you have done it a few times, it's an easy alteration.

Sigrid, thanks so much for the link to Debbie's site. She has such great illustrations. TrixieLeaf, I would also suggest getting a copy of Fit For Real People. It's a great go-to book.

Thanks! I will look into the book and I've already added the link to my favorites!

The Full Busted DVD is invaluable. nayy. It is sold by Palmer/Pletsch and via PR. I thought it was much more clear than the books I've read, including FFRP, partly because Marta Alto walks you through the entire process by doing a few FBAs on different styles of bodices. I prefer a more visual method of learning for sewing.

Palmer and Plesch's "Fit for Real People" is a must - and for visual help, the Full Bust DVD helps put it together. My sewing life changed after getting those -- just saying
