Adjusting Corsets

[Windrider30]

Ok I am VERY new at this and there is a project that I am dying to try out and that is making a leather corset, tooling and all, I understand how to adjust the waist and hips, that is no big deal simply divide the messurement that I need and spread it evenly cross the pattern, but what I am having trouble figuring out is how do you adjust the bust size of a pattern so that it will fit any shape? This will help if I decided to make any other kind of clothing as well. The pattern that I have says it will fit a 36-28-36 and I want to be able to simply readjust it just not sure how. Thanks all

I've never tackled an overbust corset (I'm currently working on an underbust), but if I were going to try, I'd start by wrapping either my model or a dress form in cellophane, and then duct tape and draw out the design. Once you have the shape and panels laid out, you can cut it apart and have a reasonably good start for properly shaped pieces.

Thanks Lionfly, the underbust shouldn't be to hard as you can just start adding what ever messurements you need in the middle and stretch the pattern out that way, that is a good idea about the cellophane I will give that a try when I am ready.
