The Heartbreak of Gaposis

Melissa has a question:

I likewise like the shirtdresses, however being fuller-bosomed, I have generally provided up on having anything that buttons down the front. any type of ideas to stop gapping as well as protect modesty?

First — did you make sure that the pattern you’re making is the ideal cup size? As La Belladonna has commonly reminded us, patterns are meant for a B cup. If you’re not a B cup (and it seems like you aren’t), you have to do something called a full Bust Alteration (check out the Pattern evaluation boards or Stitches as well as seams or this link for info about this).

Since I am not far sufficient away from a B to validate doing an FBA, I normally just make sure that the middle button is centered ideal between the two bust points.

Anyone else have suggestions?
