Hi There, sometimes it’s better to go by measurements rather than cup size. Measure your full bust and your high bust. Look at the difference between the 2 numbers. If it’s more than 2 1/2″ you may want to do an FBA.

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!

One day we’ll have a girls’ shopping day out!

No tips but I wish I was coming to carry your bags.

May I suggest using wondertape. I have had this stuff in my stash for a while and never thought to use it until last night whilst sewing the knits. It was an absolute godsend because it stuck the two pueces together while stabilising it so tge fabric didn’t stretch or anything. I used the 1/4 inch width but I think you can get it wider.

Well the apple picking dress is now done and now I am on to making some last minute hopscotch tops and dresses. I have three on the go and am sewing the assembly style.
