Will back waistline match after full bust adjustment

[emilee22]

I just did a full bust adjustment on a bodice pattern, added about 2 inches through the bust area to accommodate my larger cup size. The front is looking good and everything is where it should be, but now I'm staring at my pattern pieces and the back waistline is sitting about 2 inches lower than the front waistline which obviously looks wrong when they're laying flat on my cutting table. Am I right to expect that when the garment is actually on the body, the bust will fill out that extra 2 inches and the original back waistline will automatically match up with the front? or have I somehow messed up my adjustment and created a problem I'm going to discover way too late, like after I've already sewn the side seams?
I keep telling myself that it makes sense in theory because the extra length in the front is going over the bust, so once there's an actual bust in there, it should pull everything into alignment?

The front length is supposed to cover the bust curve, so the mismatch on the table is normal, I'd say and I think once it’s on the body, it evens out

no need to stress about the waistlines not matching on the table. When you do a proper Full Bust Adjustment, you are adding length and width to the front to go over the curve of the bust.
That extra length in the front will be eaten up by your boobage when you wear it. The front waistline should pull up to meet the original back waistline. Go ahead and sew a quick muslin/toile just to be sure, but theoretically, you did it right emilee

The theory is solid, but trust is good, control is better. Sew a quick muslin of just the front and back bodice pieces right now. Pin them together at the side seams and try it on, it'll be the fastest way to confirm alignment before cutting your good fabric

The extra length in the front is normal after a full bust adjustment because it has to travel over the bust. However, I would still check that the front and back side seams are the same length and that the waist seam joins smoothly.
A quick muslin would be the safest way to confirm it. Mark a horizontal waistline on the muslin and check whether it sits level once worn. If the front still hangs lower, you may need to remove a little length below the bust and redraw the waistline.
