I understand and you're probably right re: it not being as easy as it sounds. Thanks for offering advice. :)

I looked at the pattern and I'm not sure if it would be helpful since I have G sized breasts and often wear a size 30. The pattern says the high bust goes to 45", which sounds too small for me and I don't have any experience with patterns or trying to size them up. Do you think it would be easier to size up a pattern than to try the process myself (with the understanding that neither of these are necessarily easy).
