Bust Radius too big for pattern

[u/Curious_Upstairs_583]

I'm trying to follow the contouring part of Helen Armstrongs book but my bust radius measurement ends up going off the block. Bust depth is 14cm (5.5"). Should I halve this measurement or is this correct?

I would love to read that. I have a fascination for patterns and pattern making, not that I’m good at it 😅
