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.
