Patterns and Sizes Available:

Choose from 2 of our bestselling bra styles, the Classic Full Band Bra, the Shelley Full Band Bra, or the Linda Partial Band Bra.

Pattern Sizes:

This pattern uses a unique sizing system, called the Bottom Cup Depth Sizing Method (BCD).  All BCD sizes from 2.25 through 7.5 are included in this one pattern which offers the equivalent of over 100 ready-to-wear sizes. This includes the “in-between” sizes that ready-to-wear does not carry!

While wearing your best-fitting non-padded bra, be sure to hold the tape flat against your body and do not twist. Measure your BOTTOM CUP DEPTH, which is the measurement from the apex seam following the curve of the breast down to the seam at the wireline on the lower cup pattern piece – that is the Bottom Cup Depth. This number (in inches) is the pattern size you will use. For example, if you measure 5.25” BCD, you will trace the 5.25 size for all pieces.

Next, measure your RIB CAGE, pulling the tape snug against the skin but not tight. If you measure 34” on the rib cage, you will trace to the line marked 34 on the 5.25 band pattern piece.

The unique feature of the BCD system of sizing is that is the cup you’ve chosen is too small or too large, you simply make the next BCD size up or down.

Colours Available:

Included in the Newbie Book Bundle Bra-Making Kit are two complete bra kits (not including the underwires). Choose two of the same colour or two different colours. The kits are available in 14 of our beautiful standard colours –  White, Ivory, Peach, Pink, Fuchsia, Red, Black Cherry, Lilac, Turquoise, Navy Blue, Beige, Chocolate, Platinum, Light Copper, and Black.
