"How to Calculate Your Bust Dart Size: The Formula that Takes the Guess-work out of FBAs and SBAs" When you look in Pattern-making books they usually have a table of standard measurements including either the bust dart width, or it's angle in degrees. These "standard measurements" are for a B-cup, which means that if you are not a B-cup, you have to draft the pattern and then do either a Small Bust Adjustment or a Full Bust Adjustment. But how do they get these numbers? They seem to have nothing to do with the rest of the measurements. But there is always a formula. It just takes a bit of working out. What is a bust dart's function? Now for a little trigonometry.
We'll split the bust dart into two equal parts so that we have two right angle triangles: The difference between my front measurement and my back measurement is about 2 cm (halved to 1 cm for the split triangle), and the side dart length is about 13 cm on me.
