We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history.

|
|
The [@freesewing/plugin-bust](/reference/packages/plugin-bust) packages provides a plugin to help you adapt menswear patterns for breasts.
|
|
|
|
If you are designing a womenswear pattern, you won't need this plugin. But if you're adapting
|
|
a menswear pattern for breasts, this plugin can help you.
|
|
|
|
Almost all menswear patterns use the chest circumference to draft the garment.
|
|
|
|
As a person with breasts, using your (full) chest circumference will give you bad fit.
|
|
Instead, it's better to use your high bust measurement as chest circumference, and then create extra room for the breasts.
|
|
|
|
This is the same technique that's used in a full-bust adjustment to fit a womenswear pattern for a person with above-average sized breasts.
|
|
|
|
This plugin helps you by:
|
|
|
|
- Storing the chest circumference in `measurements.bust`
|
|
- Changing `measurments.chestCircumference` to the value of `measurements.highBust`
|
|
|
|
This way you can extend a menswear pattern and have it drafted with the high bust measurement
|
|
as chest measurment, after which you can create room for the breasts.
|
|
|
|
It's used by our [Carlita](/reference/packages/carlita) pattern, which extends the menswear [Carlton](/reference/packages/carlton) pattern.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install @freesewing/plugin-bust
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Like all [build-time plugins](/guides/plugins/#build-time-plugins), you load them
|
|
by passing them to the [`freesewing.Design`](/reference/api#design) constructor:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import freesewing from "@freesewing/core";
|
|
import bust from "@freesewing/plugin-bust";
|
|
import config from "../config";
|
|
|
|
const Pattern = new freesewing.Design(config, bust);
|
|
```
