Valerie is a longline wired bra (waist length) with detachable straps. You can wear this bra without straps. You can also wear a strap around your neck (for an off shoulder dress) or cross the straps at the back.

The bra is made from non-stretch cotton fabric. If you want to use elastic fabric, let me know about this. This will require additional measurements.

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.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.
