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.

Install

Install this plugin from NPM:

npm install --save @freesewing/plugin-bust

Usage

To load this plugin, load it when instantiating your instantiated pattern:

import freesewing from 'freesewing'
import plugins from "@freesewing/plugin-bundle";
import bust from '@freesewing/plugin-bust'

const Carlita = new freesewing.Design(config, [
  plugins,
  bust
]);
