Hi Ann, My point is to use the upper bust measurement of the person when looking at the pattern for the bust size, if one is a larger person and hence probably larger than a B cup. While the upper bust measurement is not shown on the charts, using it as the bust measurement gets the upper body area closer to a person's actual upper chest size. Then the bust area can be adjusted larger as needed, and the waist and hips, too. And I suggest this from personal experience, not the vast experience you have. Kimiko

But the upper bust measurement is not always shown on pattern charts. Ann Wass --------------------------------- TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo!
