Question 1

I stand at 138 lbs and i’m a 36d in bra size. i measure 37.25in all the way around. will this pattern work for me?? ty

Accepted Answer

I used this pattern for someone who had a bit bigger of a bust size then you and it worked out fine for them.  I did however have to alter it a bit due to them not actually fitting in one size of that makes sense.  If you can i would honestly just make a quick mock up with some left over fabric of the bra part and alter if needed.  If youve never done that before def search around on google how to make and alter a mock up and i also suggest searching how to properly read pattern sizing since it is honestly a bit weird and most people actually dont know how to and just kinda assume they do.  Not saying your doing that but just as a precation so you can run into as little problems as possible.  Good luck!

Question 2

Does this provide "support for girls"?

Accepted Answer

This pattern only goes to a size 12 - 34 inch bust at size 12.  There is an interior built into the front of the pattern for the bra that supports the breast, but if you are thinking cups you would use in a bathing suit, this is not exactly that kind of support.  In the larger sizes you could obviously USE that kind of a support, but in the size 4-12 you should not need extra support other than that built into the pattern.

Question 3

What does the back look like?  Does it tie or use hooks?

Accepted Answer

Hello.  The back uses 3/8" buttons. The second picture (the black and white) shows what the back looks like for each one. Also, in the notions section, it will tell you how many buttons (if any) are needed for each one. (D) is just elastic. Hope this helps.
