Product Description
Created specially for full-busted women—who must often buy oversized clothing simply so they can button the front—this interactive DVD demonstrates how ladies can sew their own clothes for a custom fit and teaches which size patterns will best fit the neck, upper chest, and shoulder areas. Easy to play and pause during alterations, the DVD first explores full-bust fitting basics, listing the tools needed for preparing a pattern, altering a darted front, pin-fitting fabric, and lowering a bust dart. The presentation then tackles style challenges, such as cut-on sleeves and tops and skirts with a twist. Further design techniques reveal how to transfer darts into pleats and move darts virtually anywhere, while video of everyday women displays the final products. Helping to ease both fit frustrations and wallet woes, these cost-efficient garments—including both the side-panel jacket and the princess jacket—offer full-busted women unique style solutions they can't find in any store.

Why is this DVD not more popular???, Jan 16 2011

This review is from: Full Busted?: Sew Clothes That Fit! (DVD)
I held off buying this DVD for a long time because I couldn't find much concrete info about it. I routinely do FBAs (Full Bust Adjustments) on tops/jackets and worried that it would not contain info that I did not already know. Finally, I bought it and it's the BEST $20 I have EVER spent for fitting information! I reviewed the DVD in detail on my blog: http://communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-full-busted-dvd.htmlBUY IT if you are larger than a B cup. (Most patterns are designed for a B cup.)

Best alteration DVD ever!!!, May 26 2010

This review is from: Full Busted?: Sew Clothes That Fit! (DVD)
I am petite with a very full bust and sewing tops has been a nightmare until I purchased this DVD. Clear step by step instructions for altering MANY types of patterns to fit bust sizes larger than the standard "B" cup used by today's pattern makers. I am amazed by this video and definitely recommend it.

Do buy but be prepared to spend time!, Sep 2 2011
By Norway Noodle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Full Busted?: Sew Clothes That Fit! (DVD)
I bought this DVD after hearing good things about it during a sewing course I rencently took. The DVD is excellent but although it is probably the best one out there on full bust adjustments, it will require a lot of effort to get well-fitting garments. It is a lot to take in even for experienced seamstresses. I would recommend viewing the DVD a couple of times before attempting the changes. However, once you master the techniques, your fit should be close to perfect.
