Louise it is a stylization of an historical overbust corset with straps. This garment is made of thick cotton fabric; whalebone is inserted alone the seams (plastic or metal corset bones can be used). All edges are finished with bias tape made from the same fabric.

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

The corset is laced up in the front. The back is one-piece. But it is inconvenient if worn often. Therefore, you can make a closure in the middle of the back (hooks or zipper) for a more comfortable fit.

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

Please note: this is not ready-made pattern. This listing is for personalized bra pattern according to your individual measurements. This means that your custom sewing pattern is only ready after I receive your custom measurements. You will get a pattern exactly your size.

After completing the purchase, you can download the files: sewing instructions, instructions on how to take measurements, instructions on how to calculate stretch recovery coefficient for elastic fabric. These measurements are different from the usual ones. For universal patterns, 2 measurements are taken – bust and under bust. Since I am making a personalized tailor made pattern, I need more measurements and they may not be familiar to you. Most likely, you have never taken such measurements. This is the difference in the design methodology.

Some measurements may be new and unfamiliar to you. But they are necessary to draw an exact individual pattern. Remember that the success of our venture depends entirely on accurate measurements.

Also, measurement notation is not familiar to you. I named them as they are entered in my program. Please pay attention!

You need to take the necessary measurements as indicated. Write down this information in the same form (number, measurement designation) and send it to me by e-mail. Processing of your order will begin only after I receive your letter. I will send you a pattern in PDF format within 2 working days from the date of receipt of your letter.

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.

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. There is a special listing for this.

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.
