Sizing Information

Bras

There is no single measurement method to determine bra size what bra size will work for every body. The only reliable way to determine bra size is to try on finished bras made from that pattern. Given the bra sizing challenge, we recommend starting by making your ready-to-wear size.

If you do not have a ready-to-wear size or at a loss for what size to start with, we offer the below sizing guidelines for our bra sewing patterns. If you have any sizing questions, feel free to contact us!

  • When taking measurements, be sure to stand up straight and exhale fully.
  • Measure body circumference directly under the bust with the tape measure parallel to floor. Round the measurement to the nearest inch, rounding down if you are at the ½” mark.This is the band size.
  • Measure body circumference at the fullest part of the bust while wearing a bra that is supportive yet made of a relatively thin fabric. Again, keep the tape measure parallel to the floor.
  • Derive cup size by subtracting the band size from the full bust measurement. Consult the chart below to find cup size. For example, if the full bust is 36″ and the band size is 34″, the difference is 2″. Based on the cup size chart above, this difference corresponds to a B cup. If you are in between sizes, use the larger size.

SISTER SIZES

Sister sizes are bra sizes that have the same bra cup volume and underwire size. The difference between sister sizes is the size of the band. For example, the sizes 30D, 32C, 34B and 36A all have the same cup volume and use the same underwire. The difference between those sizes is the band. This blog post has instructions for how to modify the band to reach the sister sizes on this table.

Details

After experimenting with so many different camisole styles, the figure flattering, beautifully draping Bellevue camisole is exactly what I was looking for! The armscye dart and bias cut create a beautiful silhouette and the lace adds just the right amount of gorgeous depth and detail. I finally found my “One camisole pattern to rule them all!”

 

Part of our Silk Collection, the Bellevue is an elegant and versatile camisole pattern designed to be worn on its own or to complement our Newell slip skirt or our Richdale tap shorts pattern. This pattern features:

  • French seams to beautifully finish silk;
  • Bias cut for smooth fitting;
  • Spaghetti straps;
  • Bust darts for a flattering fit;
  • Binding around the back and arm areas; and
  • Lace embellishment at the neckline.

     

    Notable Pattern Features:

    • An instantly downloadable PDF pattern.
    • For printing ease as well as paper and printer ink savings, the document is formatted as a layered PDF.
    • All pattern pieces are presented separately and clearly show the seam allowance and/or trim allowance as applicable. This allows for construction clarity and simplifies any pattern alterations.
    • The instructions are professionally illustrated, making the steps of construction very clear and easy to understand.
    • This pattern was drafted and graded by professionals who send their output directly into production so you can be extra confident that you have a great starting point for your garment.

      

    Printing Note:

    • This pattern contains 3 files: the pattern instructions, a pattern that can be printed at home on US Letter or A4 paper and a pattern that can be printed at a copy shop on A0 paper.
    • All patterns are in a layered PDF format. You must use a computer to open the document in the free Adobe Acrobat application to select the layers you wish to print. Printing instructions are included in the pattern instructions.
