Description: This is a PAPER sewing pattern for an amazing 1940s style bra. The bra can be made from matching or contrasting fabrics, and would look lovely with lace uppers as illustrated.Note: There are no actual darts in the bust front. Those are shadows added by the illustrator. The second photo shows what this bra looks like sewn.Fabric Requirements:1/2 yard 35" or larger fabric or lace.1 1/4 yards ribbon for straps.Matching thread.Purchased bra back closure, hooks and eyes or buttons.SIZING INFO:The pattern comes with several sizes included from a 31"- 49" Bust.Patterns from the 1920s-1940s didn't have cup measurements. Instead, they used the full over-bust measurement (rather than your under bust as in most modern bras). There are notations on the pattern that show where to add or subtract for a better fit around the breast, but other cup sizes aren't included in the pattern. Please measure your full overbust before buying this pattern to make sure that it fits. Please do not message us with your bra size asking if the bra will fit you. We cannot answer that question - only your full overbust measurement will provide the answer.Difficulty level: Intermediate.The fully-illustrated instructions are in English.We've also done a complete sew-along with photo tutorials to show you every step of the way over at our blog A Few Threads Loose. eBay doesn't allow us to share links but you can do an online search for "1940s bra Sew Along A Few Threads Loose".You might also want to check out Underwear and Lingerie, a how-to sew lingerie e-book with everything you'll ever need to know for historical lingerie sewing, available from our website.In a hurry?
