How to Fine-tune the Fit on a Bodice Front

In Part 2 of Kenneth D. King’s “Smart Fitting” series, he shows how to put three basic fitting principles to work at the bust and waist: Focus on reading the muslin, pinning the problem areas, and making the pattern adjustments. In Threads issue #148, Kenneth shows you how to remove excess fabric above the bust, add fabric for a full bust, correct a twist under the bust, and finesse a princess seam by applying the three principles. Fitting problems often come in multiples, but you can correct them all if you apply the principles and modify the corrections to suit the particular problem.
