If you have a smaller or larger bust cup and you want a well-fitting block, using the Bust measurement method you will need to make alterations in two areas after you have completed the block the ease in the underarm and the size of the dart/s. (Yes, you can make modifications afterwards, but wouldn't it better if you could incorporate it into the block making process?).

A block made with this method will fit you in the bust and underarm area if you are a B-bust-cup, but not so well if not. They also create dart width/s suitable for a figure with a B-cup.
#BUST MEASUREMENT WRISE PLUS#
Most Bodice Block instructions use the bust width, plus the amount of ease required at the bust level, as the width of the block.

Basing the Bodice Block on Bust measurement plus ease Either read below to get those details, or go to the page Bust-Cup-Sizes. Note: Bust Cup Sizesīust Cups as they relate to blocks and patternmaking may not be the same as what you are used to as far as Bra Cup Sizes go. The rest of this article is for anyone who wants the details of how this works, and for those who doubt it. With my instructions, both of these are done in the block creation process. If you have a Bust-Cup larger than a B-cup, this means you will not have to go to the trouble of (a) adjusting the extra width in the upper bust, and (b) doing a large bust adjustment. Using my instructions you can also create the correct dart size for your bust cup. They will also end up with the correct amount of ease in the bust. Starting with the Upper Bust measurement means that all bust cup sizes will end up with the correct amount of ease in the Underarm/Upper Bust. This is fine if you are a B-bust cup, but all other bust cups will end up with the wrong amount of ease in the underarm (Upper Bust) area. Instructions that use the Bust Measurement will end up with a Bodice Block that has an Upper Bust measurement 2 inches smaller than the Bust Measurement. Most block making instructions use the Bust measurement, so why am using the Upper Bust? The short answer In my instructions, I use the Upper Bust measurement for the width of the Bodice Block, not the Bust measurement.
