Thanks, Kimiko. That was part of my worry -- that the shoulder straps would
be falling off me, or far too widely-spaced, or way too long (that is, that
they'd widen into the bodice way too low to be of use to me) and I'd have a
devil of a time refitting everything. That's why I wanted to start with a
pattern that was at least in the right ballpark.

Also remember that patterns are drafted for an "average" cup size of B or
C at the most. When I was younger and misguided, I bought patterns to fit
my larger-than-average bust measurement, and the results were uniformly
too wide across the shoulders.
The March issue of Threads (which I've already been pointed to for the
faux fur article) apparently has an article about altering patterns for
larger bust sizes, so I have two (or three, depending on how you're
counting) reasons to pick it up. ;-)
