How do you increase bust on a panel/princess seam bodice

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

I am trying to make Simplicity pattern 2917 view D and my bust is 2” bigger than the pattern size. I have used the pivot adjustment method (from your brilliant video) successfully before on a normal pattern by adding 1/2” to the 4 side seams, but this pattern has panels so would i add 1/4 inch to each of the 8 sides seams or try and place the two front/back panels together and add 1/2” to the usual 4 side seams?

Thank you for your help,

If I were you, I’d just add the 1/2″ to each of the main side seams. It’s isn’t that much and I think it would be easier. Good luck!
