I haven’t adjusted the empire-waisted bodice but I did find this blog post: http://stitchesandseams.blogspot.com/2001/03/alterations-full-bust-alteration-on.html I don’t know if it helps you or if your pattern has a dart. I don’t believe the side seam of the front bodice is increased here because they’re actually making the dart larger and instead adding more fabric to the front of the dart.
