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!

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.

When I want to achieve an extraordinary result on a lingerie project that requires a hook and eye closure, I turn to the Leverett sewing pattern.
With the Leverett pattern, you too can make a custom closure to best match your fabric and notions. No more searching for just the right color ready-made set and no need for dyeing. In addition to adding a special detail to your project, you also get the satisfaction of being able to make one more part of your garment by hand!
For maximum flexibility, the Leverett sewing pattern includes 1 hook high, 2 hook high, 3 hook high and 7 hook high sizes along with fully illustrated instructions to guide you through the process of making a beautiful, slim and sturdy closure.

Now is always the best time to buy. Everyone pays the same, best price every time. We don’t mess with sales, discounts or coupons.
All pattern pieces are separate, not nested, 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 seemingly complex steps of bra construction very clear and easy to understand.
This pattern was 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.
Leverett Hook and Eye Closure PDF Sewing Pattern
I have briefly looked at the pattern. I am real glad to have this pattern and look forward to using it in the near future!
I'm a relative novice with sewing, both bras and other garments; I have a lot of background knowledge about techniques but very little practice. I found this pattern while I was searching for sustainable closure options and was dissatisfied by the limited availability of sustainable pre-made options. It took me a little while of staring at the instructions and following along with a piece of paper to understand them, but now that I do the process is simple and I even learned a trick from the instructions to make future sewing projects easier. I love that this has given me so much flexibility in terms of fiber content, color, width, number of hooks, rows of eyes, etc. The only thing I plan on changing going forward is making the part where you attach the hook to the bra longer. It might be a matter of requiring practice to make my handiwork neater, or I may be be securing my hooks too far inside, but at the moment between the internal seam allowance and the hook itself, the pocket is too shallow to easily attach the bra. All in all I am very pleased, and would purchase from Orange Lingerie again. Thank you!
I didn't have any 2-hook fasteners but did have a couple of old bras to take apart, so I decided to give this pattern a try. I found the instructions less than entirely clear, but did figure it out. However, I ended up having to redo the hook side; the pocket for the bra band was too shallow and I ended up reworking the pattern into a flappy-style rather than pocket-style fastener for that side. The seam allowances on the inside got in the way on both sides. I also didn't do a stellar job sewing in the hooks and eyes; I'm not the best at hand sewing, and there wasn't a lot of guidance on how best to accomplish the task. With a bit of practice, I suspect my future fasteners will be better; as a practice run, this one ended up working ok.
I could not figure out how to make one. I am too a too inexperienced at sewing or my reading skills are failing me:-)
