Next, measure your RIB CAGE, pulling the tape snug against the skin but not tight. For example, if you measure 5.25” BCD, you will trace the 5.25 size for all pieces. This number (in inches) is the pattern size you will use. While wearing your best-fitting non-padded bra, be sure to hold the tape flat against your body and do not twist. Measure your BOTTOM CUP DEPTH, which is the measurement from the apex seam following the curve of the breast down to the seam at the wireline on the lower cup pattern piece – that is the Bottom Cup Depth. This includes the "in-between" sizes that ready-to-wear does not carry! All BCD sizes from 2.25 through 7.5 are included in this one pattern which offers the equivalent of over 100 ready-to-wear sizes. This pattern uses a unique sizing system, called the Bottom Cup Depth Sizing Method (BCD). You will notice 3 different underwire styles listed on the chart - WR, WL, and WX.Ĭlick on the underwire type listed for your size. If you will be using underwires in your bra, please see our Underwire size chart to determine your correct underwire size and type. You learn the professional methods of construction, then get it professionally fitted to YOUR unique body. If you are not quite confident enough about your ability to make a bra and fit it from the pattern, why not consider taking a class in Beginner Bra-Making? We use the Pin-up Girls patterns for all classes. All patterns have both French and English instructions and material lists! This pattern is available in over 90 sizes. Both views use fabric for extra comfortable straps. The Classic Full Band Bra Pattern has three views - one made entirely of fabric, one with lace trim on the upper cup and one made with lace trim on the entire cup.
