Excellent teaching and rationals for why you are going the extra steps to ensure a great fit. Saves time and money, if you have a satisfying finished project. I have thrown out have done items many times, because I didn’t know or understand pattern sizes were not like store bought clothing sizes. Thank you.

There is a lot of good information in this video. I wish she would've also covered how to make the bust smaller. I know it's a matter of reversing what she did, but it's always helpful to watch it being done from start to finish.
