It’s the first time I’m doing an FBA and from what I understand FBA is about adding volume, which results in length and width added, in this case to…[Read more]

In the process of doing the fba, a length is added to the front side panel in two places – at the waist (stage 4) and at the curved front edge of the pattern piece (stage 5, when the dart is “closed), but a length is added to the front yoke only in…[Read more]
