How to do a Pivot and Slide Full Bust Adjustment

Full Bust Adjustments or FBA can make or break your project when sewing. Here I will walk you through the steps of doing a pivot and slide FBA. We will go over how to measure to find out what cup size you are in sewing patterns. Please note your cup size in a sewing pattern is not the same as a bra cup size. Next we will figure out what size pattern to cut out so the garment fits you shoulders best. Then we will do our adjustments so that there is room in the garment to accommodate your bust area. I will be using the Elodie Wrap Dress from Closet Core Patterns (link below) For the fabric I chose a Rayon Challis from Fabric Mart Fabrics. They have a huge selection of great fabrics and often get designer dead stock fabrics. I highly recommend them for your next fabric purchase. Make sure to follow me on Instagram and Tiktok. I also have a blog and make t shirt hair towels and sell them in on my website so check out what I have going on there too!
