Don’t get me wrong, I love how the pattern companies are issuing some patterns now with pattern pieces for different bust sizes. I love that. I really do. But it seems like they are only doing the easy ones. The ones I could do myself in my sleep. So we get this one with the bust sizes done for us,
but not this one,
which I am sure you’ll
agree, is more of a puzzler.
In the interests of
attracting more sewists to our beloved pastime, I have a radical suggestion to
make to the big companies: offer all of the patterns with bust
adjustments. And don’t forget our A size sisters, please. Please offer all of the patterns in all of the
sizes too. I know you can do this: you offer some of them in size 20-28 and
some starting at size 4 and 6 so I know that you know how. We can all agree
that people come in all sizes and it would be nice if those multi-sized people
could find their sizes easily in pattern land. I have friends who are size zero
and friends who are size 26. I don’t discriminate based on size and the pattern companies shouldn’t either. It’s just good business to make more people
happy. So what do you say? Will you issue this Vogue pattern with the bust
adjustments for us? Because believe me, it’s making my head hurt trying to figure it out.

Amen. But I won't be holding my breath because I suspect that they don't have anyone* who can figure out the adjustments either.
* That is, they don't want to pay someone with enough skill to figure it out.
Amen!!!!
Thank you for thinking of us A cup sisters! The idea that an A/B cup size will fit both is just laughable, but that's what most of them do. If a B cup fit me I wouldn't have to adjust non-cup-specific patterns.
