If I’m creating a coat for a woman with a larger bust (D or DD cup), how does the chest canvas differ? Is there less canvas? If so, can you provide a rough sketch or description of where the canvas covers the forepart compared to the example coat you are working on in the video?
Thanks!

Has anyone created a ladies jacket for a full-busted person? Did you change the chest canvas coverage at all? My ladies jacket has a princess seam for bust shaping, but I’m not sure what to do with the canvas. Should I stop the canvas along the princess seam, or should I cut a dart shape out of the armhole (along the princess seam placement) and **** the cut edges together and sew with a strip of Silesia behind it? Or something else entirely?
If I canvas only up to the princess seam, what should I do about the hair cloth (that would normally reach to the side seam/AH area?
I’ve made up the jacket in muslin (multiple times!) for fitting purposes, so I’m confident of the fit through the bust. I’m just stuck on the canvas shaping and construction.
Thanks for any insight on how to tackle this issue.
