# plugin-bust
A freesewing plugin that helps with bust-adjusting menswear pattern.
> This is a build-time plugin, which means its aimed at pattern designers.
## Usage
The goal of this plugin is to make it easier to adapt extended menswear patterns for breasts.
When adapting a menswear pattern for breasts, you follow the *full-bust-adjustment* approach:
- Draft the pattern with your *high bust* measurement as *chest circumference*
- Add a bust dart to create room for the full bust measurement
This plugin helps to accomplish that by:
- Setting the `fullBust` measurement to the value of the `chestCircumference` measurement
- Setting the `chestCircumference` measurement to the value of the `highBust` measurement
Now you can extend any freesewing menswear pattern, and it will be drafted with the
`chestCircumference` value replaced with the `highBust`.
The original chest circumference (full bust) is now available in the `fullBust` measurement.
> Note: Only when extending menswear patterns
>
> If you are designing a womenswear pattern from scratch, you don't need this.
> You can simply use the measurements of your choice.
>
> This plugin is to be used when you extend a menswear pattern and want to make
> a womenswear version.
