How do you adjust a pattern for a larger bust size?

• Remove fabric from the bust area to create a tighter fit.

• Use a smaller size pattern and hope for the best.

• Add extra length to the hemline instead of the bust area.

• Add extra width to the bust area by adjusting side seams or adding a dart.
