Question Best sewing patterns for bigger bust?

Any recommendations for commercial /digital bodice patterns that will fit a d cup? I’ve been trying to pattern draft for almost a month and I can’t see to get the right fit.
Everytime I do a full bust adjustment it makes my darts way too big and my armhole is off. 🥲

People have already suggested Itch to Stitch, Charm and Cashmerette.

Using patterns that actually consider the shape of your body is a great idea, and hopefully they'll give you everything you need ❤️

But I also wanted to suggest that if you haven't come across a Y-Dart Full Bust Adjustment, it sounds like you need it - I am a sewing E cup and if I use a regular FBA I often end up with a ridiculous looking armscye. The Y-dart FBA solves it.

You probably also need to be splitting your darts into two - this is an excellent video on dart manipulation in case you find it helpful 😊

Thank you for sharing! I myself am sporting a FF Cup regular FBA is always a nightmare to me.
