Great video, but I as an older woman with a full bust, I would always measure my full bust with a bra on. Gravity takes its toll. Bust position and shape is quite different with and without a bra.

I also wear a bra when measuring, otherwise it's inaccurate due to aging, weight loss, and gravity. I tend to wear the same style of bra, so fluctuations are minimal.

I was hoping someone would bring this up. I am 70 and they are closer to my belly button than my arm pit. lol

I do too. The main problem is when someone is wearing a very poorly sized bra and tries to get measurements from that. It'll toss everything off.

I might as well use my waist measurement if I’m going to measure without a bra! 😬

@Aly C. How do you filter the channel here on KZitem? I also was wondering if it's possible to search content within a channel, as many videos don't show up on a general KZitem search. Sorry this comment is not on the video content itself.

@@dlg1603 When you click on the channel's name within KZitem (e.g. The Fold Line written in bold type), you're taken to that channel's KZitem page. On The Fold Line's own KZitem page, underneath their name, they have a series of tab headings (HOME; VIDEOS; PLAYLISTS etc) and at the end of that series is a search box. This is the search feature that you use to search the individual channels vlog posts. Hope this is clear, makes sense and helps you out 🙂

Oh my goodness ladies - thank you so much for this great, informative video! 🤩 I appreciate it so much! If you felt that you could explain other body modifications as clearly as this I would be over the moon. I never know when and how to account for them, and it has meant I’ve really stopped making clothes, which saddens me so much. When it comes to trousers, say, I don’t know how to pick the right size in a pattern when I think I should probably be allowing for a full tummy adjustment, and maybe a sway back adjustment too. A simple and straightforward video like this would open up the world of sewing clothes to me again 🥹

Measuring the high bust to determine cup size never made sense to me, but EUREKA! now I understand why it's important in sewing--shoulders. Can't believe I never thought about that before.

Useful & informative video 👍🏼. However, I personally disagree with the advice to only measure without wearing a bra. I would always recommend measuring the bust area whilst the person is wearing the bra/underwear they usually wear (or whatever the undergarment they intend to wear with the clothing that they wish to make).

Thanks Claire. I should have made this clearer in the video - I was referring to not wearing a bra for the high bust measurement. Agreed for various reasons you would want to wear a bra for the full bust measurement!

What adjustments do you make if you are between sizes on the pattern? If your difference is 1.5 inches I'm assuming I would pick a B cup size but then what adjustment would I need?
@sewincidentally...3411

For someone with 1.5"-2" difference between their High Bust + Full Bust I'd personally recommend their using the Dressmakers B-Cup pattern option. For below 1.5" difference then the front bodice pattern piece (which on its own is half of the body's front, it's also a quarter of the body's total circumference - once you take into account the back) may need a ½" SBA (Small-bust adjustment) made to the pattern piece LHS ½" + RHS ½" = 1" Total removed from all of the front ✅ ☺
