Tutorial: Cheater FBA for Blouses with Gathers

Today I'm going to share with you how I did an FBA on Wearing History's Dahlia blouse. I made a youtube tutorial to show the basic technique I used.



Ok, so let's look at how I adjusted the pattern pieces.

I added 1/2" using my cheater FBA method to each side of the wrap front piece. You have to do two FBAs when dealing with a wrap front because each half of the wrap goes over both girls.

I also added 1/2" to the waist band piece so it will still match up. It's cut on the fold so you only have to add the spread once.
