Pattern, Adjust bodice to cup size. 

You change our lives with these lessons. The quality of my clothes has improved dramatically because of you. Thank you

Now I know how to fix my bodice block, thank you so much, it was squashing me but fitted everywhere else

You truly are a brilliant teacher. You are able to make everything so clear, without any ambiguity. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Thank you Dear Diane. Finally I can make blouses for my sister, properly. 🤓👚👏

Agreat video with a lovely accent to listen to.

I appreciate your videos. This explains why some other methods don’t work because this is a increase in depth since you are starting with the correct circumference. Thanks

Thank you so much for your video lessons! Your YT channel is a concentrate of pure knowledge.

gosh, I have tried to do this many times, following instructions from pattern books. You are an absolutely fantastic teacher. Pls do more. thank you.

Beautiful. Your instructions are so easy to understand.

I always wanted to know how to resize the block. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you, Ms. Diane. This was awesome!!!

So much knowledge in less than 10 minutes 😍

Very clever! I had no idea of this method!

I have never see it done this way...can’t wait to try it!

oh my god!thank you for this!im an A cup!plus i was supposed to send you my drafts for modification but cant because i have no smartphone!this is great!i've just finished a dress based on both basic bodic and skirt blocks and was really happy about it BUT the armholes were SLIGHTLY saggy because of my boobless body lol!merci diane ,vous êtes génial!!en tout cas,ma robe est quasi parfaite (i obviously still need more practice!).il restait juste ça.je tenterais sur la prochaine creation!mille fois merci!!

Love this

You make learning how to sew easy.

Hi, I have learned so much from you, please tell me how you determine cup size?

That is an amazing technique! Thank you so much for showing us ❤ I have one (maybe dumb) question though: The points of the darts meet on your blocks but I have never sewn a pattern like that and I think it would look odd. Is there something I'm missing where the darts should be shorter? And how do I make them shorter? 😯 EDIT: Never mind, I found the answer in your pivoting dart video 😍

I can't thank you enough ❤️

Amazing video Diane! ❤️

Great lesson! thank you

Hi, Diane. I have learned so so much from you. I celebrate your knowledge, skills and gerenosity. This seems to be the best way to fit different cup sizes, but I was wondering, the apex is moved? Is it right? My apex is 9cm away from the center front and now it is 9.6cm. I'm concerned about this. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this information. I have purchased your Block Drafting instructions from your Etsy site but I cannot find this "Change your cup size ..." pdf anywhere. How can I obtain a copy of this on pdf? I would like to add to my binder on pattern drafting. Thanks

Your tutorials are amazing I just wish you could write a book about drafting to go alongside your vlogs. 🤔

Hi Diane, please could you tell me if I can just do the adjustment to the front and leave the under arm deduction, as my muslin at the back fits well, it's the front that is tight and looks out of position. I have learned so much from your videos, thank you. x

Thank you diane

Hi Diane, thanx for excellent tutorial. I have a question, if I use my bust measurement when drafting the personal block, will it be necessary for me to do a bust adjustment?

What about the shoulders if you choose a pattern for the circumference of the bust for a larger cup won't the shoulders be to big?

Hello diane, please explain to my why I need to adjust the cup size even when the basic bodice fits accurately on my bust. Thank you

Hiiii diane , it has been a smooth learning ever since but i want to know if i can do grading up before cup size adjustments because grading up can increase the length of bodice therefore may not need a length adjustment right? Thanks

Thank you so much Diane. I will try this method on my base pattern. Could you please cinfirm to me that base body patter I purchase from your side it is also design with cut B? Thank you 😘

Hi Diane, thanx for your excellent tutorial, I used my personal measurements for this tutorial, everything worked out fine, its just that when I measure the dart bust width I get 7 cm. According to various pattern books a 97cm bust (my bust size,) dart size should be 8.2 cm. I don't understand this.

Another brilliant tutorial. I have almost finished my bodice block. Quick question, does this method work if I need to lower my apex first? Do I still connect the shoulder dart to my new apex point?

very good

Life saving video! Not easy for a E-cup to with a small waist to find the fitting patterns and clothes. Although I have one question, how do you find your pivot/breast circumference on the new pattern? Thanks for your videos

can you show us how to do contouring with deep necklines please.

Great tutorial, thank you so much. I am adjusting a block that I drafted which also goes all the way down to the hipline. After using your method, of course I now have extra width at the hipline. Is it OK to reduce the size of the waist dart to reshape teh waist and then re-draw down to the hip? Or will that lose the gain at the bust-line? Actually, I don't think it will. I've added 4 cm at the bust, and will now remove 2cm each side of the waist dart, and bring in the waist 4cm at the side, then redraw the hip. I'll report back, in case anyone else has used this method.

thanks a lot

how do I adjust for a full bust and add extra front length from neck to waist?

Machallah !👍

merci madame pour tes magnifique cours mais le son de la védeo est trés faible

I believe that you presume too much. You are working under the assumption that the cup size requires an increase but the bust measurement itself is the pattern size. I tell you from experience that this will flatten, squish, a large bust and cut at the arm scythe. Cutting down a bigger pattern is more work than enlarging the bust when everything else fits. Or am I missing something?

Mam plzz kya ap hindi me bta sakti hi...🙇
