I don't know about you, but I've pretty much always had to size up commercial patterns -- basically anything from Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, or Vogue -- because they tend to only go up to a pattern size 22.
This video covers my methods of how I make commercial patterns fit me (or anyone larger). Using the 1790's bodice pattern that American Duchess created for Simplicity, I will be covering sizing up the pattern, lengthening the pattern to fit both my 5'10" frame and my D-cup bust, and then mocking up and fitting the mockup to myself. Just wait till you see how different the final pattern looks!
I also plan to make a video about sizing up one-size gridded patterns to plus sizes. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in, or if you have other pattern-related topics you would like me to cover.
