    A Pattern Hack by Hannah-Rose Smith

    Bra to Bustier
    Needed:
    • Favourite bra pattern
    • Ruler
    • Pencil
    • Paper Scissors
    • Tape

    Pattern Hack Steps

    1. Start by tracing off the pattern pieces from 2. Sometimes the lower edge of the band is shaped,
    your bra pattern in your size. to straighten it:
    We are only going to be using the Front and extend the Centre Front Line and draw perpendicular line.
    Back pieces for now. Straighten the lower edge of the Back piece too.
    3. Measure from your Underbust to Waist. 4. Draw a line from the straight band to the new Waist line.
    Extend the Centre Front line so that it is the same measurement. Extend the line 1cm past the Waist line.
    Draw a perpendicular line at the end of the Centre Front line. Extend the side seam of the Back piece by the same amount.
    The length of this line will be your Waist measurement divided by 4

    6. Add a 1.5cm seam allowance at the Centre Back.


    This will be for the zip.
    5. Curve the Waistline on the Front piece.
    Measure the length of the Centre Back and get an open-ended
    On the Back piece, draw a line parallel to the straight band.
    zip as close to this measurement.
    The length of this line will be your Waist measurement divided by 4.
    You can either lengthen the top of the Back piece to fit a zip
    Complete the Centre Back line.
    or shorten the zip to fit the pattern.
    7. Your original pattern may include this piece, but if it doesn’t, here is how to make a basic Channelling Case for the underwire.
    Even if you aren’t using an underwire, I would still recommend this Channelling Case for a neat finish.
    Measure the part where the cups will go, multiply this measurement by 1,5.
    Draw a rectangle with this measurement as the length and the height of 2.5cm.
    You will need to cut 2 of these (1 for each cup)

    2.5cm

    Measurement x 1.5

    Optional:
    Due to the limited fabric I was using, I needed to have seams within the Front and Back pieces.

    8. I roughly divided the Back in half and the Front in quarters. 9. Add the seam allowances to these new pieces.
    Cut along the lines so that you end up with: Refer to your original pattern.
    -Front Middle I made mine 6mm
    -Front Side
    -Back Side
    -Back Middle
