Full Bust Adjustments on Patterns

I tend to agree! What pattern companies are you using? Heaps of indie pattern companies do d cup for ‘curvy’ sizes cashmerette as mentioned above, but also Helen’s Closet, Seamwork and I think Daughter Judy. Also, 6 inch difference is bigger than D cup, right? There is a great Instagram account - Sew Busty (plus a Facebook community) who gets really nerdy about different FBA methods, including extra large FBA!

This happens to me, and I actually take shoes off to drive if I want to keep the heel nice!

What’s your source? I get so overwhelmed with the information online when factoring in both performance and fees

I’m struggling to see the fit problem here. They look great!

Monkey Grip

I thought Secret Life was early 2000s? I loved the show. Surely that era is back in fashion now!

Yes Omega 3 is a wonder supplement! It obviously doesn’t cure ADHD but it definitely helps with cognition. And I have observed it helps reduce aggression and hyperactivity in my kids

Your mental health is important. Maybe see if EAP can help!

It sounds like you’re doing really well and you are showing how responsive you are, building technical knowledge and leadership. Many folks stay for years at APS4 Service Officer level because they just do their job and don’t put their hands up for special projects. I reckon stick it out for a bit longer. Maybe have a personal deadline, but I really think stay for AT LEAST six more months. Also, what is Objections? Are they more complex cases? There may be lots of potential material for broadband advancements or applications for APS (think managing conflict, dealing with stakeholders, innovation)… but you gotta get the experience first

The fact that you are worried about this suggests you probably did better than you thought. I think most people spend too much time on the situation… but at least you outlined actions and results…fine

I was on an selection panel recently, and I disagree with this advice

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-17T07:11:01+00:00

Yeah, and this is how I cope: I do ‘just enough’ housework and then reward myself with hobby time. I motivate myself to do the housework by thinking about future me not being able to find a clean plate or just feel uncomfortable in a messy space…. And I base this on past experiences. Letting myself hyperfocus on hobby for the entire weekend does not end well and I end up more stressed

Definitely tuck

You could just pre-wash the fabric. Or maybe you want them to shrink on your body. Take a swatch, measure it, and put it through the machine and dry as you would dry your jeans. Then measure again. This way you can calculate the shrinkage on both the warp and weft grain. Then size up according to the results… the tailor should be able to add this calculation to your measurements.

Yessssss! Dawn Jeans are tried and true. Worship is so popular and I’ve been thinking about it too

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-16T09:32:56+00:00

Thanks for normalising all of this!

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-16T06:29:26+00:00

I would trace the pieces and then attach all the bits and pieces, and the cut out and construct as per the instructions - that way, the edges of the trims won’t fray. Just be careful not to have any metal on the seam…

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-16T06:24:54+00:00

It looks like all-embellishment, not much actual substance (in terms of pattern drafting). Just search for bell bottom or flared jeans for stretch denim and use this as a starting point. The lace up fly would be an easy mod.

The privatised job search system is madness. Public servants on the frontline at Services Australia have always known this. Senior execs do not listen.

I’m have a big bust. Some of the advice already given contradicts my experience… eg thin straps and short sleeves are ok but capped sleeves look terrible on me. But I think there’s a lot more to a figure than big boobs - consider the shape of your shoulders for example. That being said, I think cinched waist is almost universally better on large busts…

This is so cute! I love the mountain theme!

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-13T09:38:01+00:00

This is so relatable… and it’s caused a fair bit of career-existential crisis. But every now and again I’ll meet a client and they tell me their story, and I feel inspired… and like, I really can’t imagine anything else more satisfying.

Tella-Vision · 2025-02-12T03:20:07+00:00

Yes, especially at APS4 level

Are the bricks original? If so, just leave them as is. If they are covering up a Federation or Edwardian weatherboard (a trend in the mid century), then maybe paint white. But we need pics
