Bridget is a non-wired bra. Its pattern involves the use of dense, stable natural fabrics (linen, cotton). If you want to sew a bra from an elastic fabric, please let me know. This will require additional measurements.

The bra has double-layer cups and straps; the back is single-layered.

There is no hook and eye closure at the back. The bra has a lace-up closure at the front.

The plastic bones are inserted along the side seams and in the center of the front.

Wide straps made of fabric are also very comfortable and do not dig into the skin. Shoulder straps are sewn to the elastic band for regulation at the back.

This bra is suitable for all sizes, including plus size.

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 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).

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.
