Nadine is a classic wired bra 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. Foam cups inside. Plastic bones are inserted along the side seams.

The pattern is designed for stable fabric (linen, cotton, silk). If you want to sew a bra from an elastic fabric, please let me know. This will require additional measurements.

The pattern involves the use of regular underwires (not demi or slightly shorter).

The most important thing is to find the right underwires that fit your size. I do not indicate the size of the underwires, because we live in different countries and use different materials. There is a file on how to correct the pattern in accordance with your underwires.

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.

Email me if you don’t want a high back. I will make an additional pattern for a regular back for you.

There are ready-made patterns for this bra in my shop.

This pattern is at an easy/intermediate level. Previous bra sewing experience is recommended. You need to know how to sew underwire channeling and elastic, etc.

Materials and supplies:

*Paper pattern;

*Sewing machine;

*Scissors;

*Pins;

*Sewing thread;

*Natural fabric (linen, cotton ̶ about 1 m), including fabric to make bias tape;

*Elastic for the band (according to your girth under the bust);

*Foam (about 0.2*0.25 cm);

*Strap elastic about 1.2-1.3 cm /48-52 inches (the strap width should match the size of your hooks and sliders for secure straps that stay in place);

*Picot elastic to make the upper cup trim (about 1.2 m);

*Hooks (4) and sliders (2);

*Underwire channeling (about 1 m);

*Bias tape maker to make the bias tape 12 mm (1/2 inch) wide; patchwork cutting mat and rotary cutter. If you don’t have these tools, you can do without them. Then you need to cut the fabric with scissors to make the bias tape, and do everything by hand;

*Hook and eye closure;

*Regular underwires;

*2 plastic/metal bones. It is best to use special plastic corset bones. If you don’t have them, you can use the whalebone shown in the photo, but this is a bad option. Bones made from whalebone quickly lose their shape and dig into the skin.

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.
