Sewing patterns for big boobs

Hi,
Anyone got any easy patterns which fit larger busts? I'm 32J and fed up of ill fitting clothes (especially since Pepperberry has gone 😭).
Thanks

The trick is to learn how to do a full bust adjustment, then you can use any pattern you like the look of. There's loads of guides online for how to do it as it's a common adjustment. The Sew Over It stitch school has a paid for guide and their videos tend to be very good, but there's lots of free options

Thanks, I'll have a look at bust adjustments.
To be honest I've only sewn one dress before, so no expert! (Lots of cushions and curtains though!!).

Have you seen the "stitch and bitch" chat in the arts and crafts section? It's a great place to ask advice and share what you're working on.

I'm sure someone there will have experience of sewing for larger cup sizes.

Cashmerette do patterns for curves and their patterns come in different cup sizes. There are others but probably only cater up to around an e cup so mastering a full bust adjustment is really going to pay off.

I've learned to make a busy adjustment. However I'm sewing some Closet Core designs which have a 14-32 range drafted for a bigger cup,those are great.

A few Butterick and Vogue IIRC come with ABCD cup options (not the same as normal bra cup sizes)
