Good post, but you’re making things harder for yourself and not getting the full benefit of this pivot method. It comes down to simple geometry – when you swing the armscye out from the shoulder, it doesn’t end up at the same level as it started, it’s higher. And when you trace the side seam from there, even more so if you swing it back in all the way (which you can do to the waist if you don’t need to adjust it, instead of to the hips) the end of that seam will be higher than the center front. Again, geometry. So then instead of chopping straight across, you make a gentle curve from the side seam to roughly the center bust, and finish to center front horizontally at the same level it started. Now you have a bottom curve that also allows length for the bust, essential as breasts are general spherical. You should end with roughly as much length added as width, 3.5cm for you for instance. There – the real and fully done pivot and slide fba per Nanzy Ziemann :-).

I can’t wait to try your method on a dress pattern with no separate bodice (McCall’s 6958). I only need to add an inch, but it makes all the difference :)

In reply to Ame Turner.

I did the FBA using Maria’s other method (https://www.mariadenmark.com/2019/06/a-better-fba/) and I did find that there is a bit too much fabric above the bust. I’m not sure what to do about that! It fits much better across the bust and back.

certainly like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of
your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it
very bothersome to tell the reality however I will certainly come back again.

In reply to Gillian. Gillian, I believe you would start off by making your very first mark INSIDE the pattern rather than outside. Then swing the pattern in to meet that mark ( just like she showed you to swing it out to make it fuller, you will swing it in to make it narrower), the amount you calculated. Then redraw as she tells you.
