I have seem some complaints online that the cup shape can make some large breasts more pointy than the wearer would prefer. It’s a fairly basic bra pattern and features seamed cups and plush elastic straps and sliders for strap adjustment. The Pin-up Girls Classic Full Band Bra pattern is the pattern demo’ed in Beverly Johnson’s bra-making class on Craftsy. Pin-up Girls (Beverly Johnson): Classic Full Band Bra Interestingly, most of my RTW bras (all purchased from a specialty lingerie store where I was professionally fitted) are partial band bras however, most bra sewing patterns available for larger cup sizes tend to be full band bras. Because the underwires themselves are more vital to support in partial band bras, most partial band bras require underwires. Some “full band” patterns claim that the underwires themselves are optional for those who want more support, but in most bra pattern reviews that I’ve read, most women do choose to include the underwires. An underwire bra may have a “full band”, where you’ll have a thin strip of fabric and elastic that runs under the cups, or a “partial band”, where the cups rest directly against your ribcage. ![]() The most common type of bra pattern (and also most common type of RTW bra) is where underwires help provide some of the support for your bust. I arbitrarily chose to list patterns that are available in at least a size 40G (US sizing), since around that size, bra pattern sizing pretty much falls off a cliff (similar to how few sewing patterns were available above a 43″ (109cm) bust a few years ago). So, for those of us whose cup sizes run closer to the middle of the alphabet, what options are out there if we want to jump on the bra-making bandwagon? In the rest of this post, we’ll take a near-comprehensive view of the sewing patterns available in large-ish band and large cup sizes. Like me, you may have been tempted by these pretty underthings, clicked a link in someone’s blog post to find out more about the pattern…and been sorely disappointed that the sizing for the pattern only goes up to a DD cup. ![]() We’ve seen a number of popular new bra patterns released by various indie designers during this time, and it also feels like my Instagram feed has been flooded with pretty bra and panty sets. If you’re like me, and you read a lot of sewing blogs, you might have noticed that it seemed like everyone and her sister has been sewing bras in the past year or so. ![]() Inclusive Sizing, Independent Patterns, and the Curvy Sewing Collective.Meet the People Behind the Curvy Sewing Collective.
