Too Many Gorgeous Bra Patterns? This Chart Helps You Pick

Ever look at your pattern stash and think, “Wow… I’ve really given myself a lot of great options”?
It’s a lovely problem to have, but still a problem when you’re trying to decide what to sew next.

So I put together a Bra Pattern Comparison Chart — a simple, at-a-glance guide that breaks down each pattern by cup shape, support level, and size set. It’s not flashy, but it is incredibly helpful. Think of it as your friendly bra-making compass, pointing you toward the pattern that fits your mood, your project, and your sewing energy today.

Now choosing your next make is the easy part. Sewing it… that’s the fun part.

How Do You True Your Seams?

Truing seams is a term for ensuring the stitch lines match when sewn together. It is particularly important when making pattern adjustments. For many, this is a way to ensure smooth lines but ensuring the measurement matches.

Inner Fullness Options for the GG-KK Size Set of Lanai Wireless Pattern

As a whole, people with GG-KK cups have a different inner arc ratio then their smaller cupped peers. This often shows up in the form of inner fullness that sits on top of the neckline, flat spot near the CF or breast tissue pushed outwards in a east/west manner. While these differences also exist in the smaller size sets, the larger bust {and small band} also means a larger variety volume distribution possibilities - hence this additional option.
