Beatrice is a strapless bustier. It is sewn from dense, non elastic natural fabrics (linen, cotton). The bustier is lined with fine cotton.

All edges are finished with bias tape. You can also use a strap elastic to finish the back closure. If you do not have one, you can also use a bias tape. Thus, you can do without special bra supplies.

Plastic bones are inserted along the front, side seams and along the back fastener. This allows you to keep in shape very well. You can wear this bustier under an off shoulder dress. The bustier fastens with hooks and eyes.

The height of the band under the bust is 4 cm.

All my bras sewn on conventional sewing machine with the function of a zig-zag.

Please read carefully before purchasing to determine the size of the sewing pattern correctly.

I do not use a conventional measurement system. The main measure that I use is the horizontal arc (HD), in centimeters (see the picture). Simply put, you need to take this measurement between the ends of the underwire through the protruding point of the chest, horizontally. The dimensions of my sewing patterns are according to this measurement (if your measurement of HD is 23 cm, then you need size 23). This enables an individual approach to the creation of patterns. In the usual way, the pattern is created according to the difference between two dimensions (bust and under bust girth), but within this framework a wide variety of shapes and sizes is possible.

Another important measure is the girth under the bust. This measurement is indicated in the pattern name. There is a file on how to adjust the pattern in accordance with your girth under the bust.

I use a system of individual measurements to create a personalized pattern because each person’s figure is unique. You can buy ready-made patterns according to the size described above (please note that measurements are in centimeters).

If you have not found the right size or you have some body features that require an individual approach, I can make personal patterns for you according to individual measurements.

It is very convenient to use a special tailor’s ham https://www.inspireuplift.com/Bra-Ham-Sewing-Pattern-Half-Ball-Ham-Pattern-Tailor/iu/14851 . This round tailor’s ham is an indispensable item when sewing a bra. It makes it possible to give the correct shape to round seams when ironing. For its sewing, a pattern of a large bra was used; its shape fits all of my sewing patterns.
