Learn how to increase the bicep of a dressmaking pattern in this ‘how to’ tutorial. I will share tips and techniques for completing a full bicep adjustment, showing how to complete a minor amendment that affects the armhole and a further amendment that does not affect the armhole. I also show how to measure the bicep on a mannequin and on myself, as well as how much ease you should have in a bicep.
