thanks for the nice comments!
I really did fudge the bust – I just added 1/2 an inch onto the fold end of each of the bust pieces (so I basically just added width at the front and back middle). and resized the bodice parts to make sure it would all sew together straight. I did a lot of measuring of the pieces to make sure it would fit me all the way around before I started to cut it out!

The fabric is great and you did a good job with this dress! Looks very nice! I also like this pattern, but I’m not shure how to alter it for a bigger bustsize?
