It’s no wonder bralettes are hot fashion news right now! They are unstructured and have no underwires. They are typically worn as sleep bras or under casual or “at-home” clothes. With the 16 different options included with this pattern, the Sweet Sixteen Bralette Pattern Collection could become your new breast friend! The typical ready-to-wear bralette is only available in smaller sizes…not ours!
The Sweet Sixteen Bralette Pattern Collection ranges in band sizes from 28″ to 38″ (71 cm to 96 cm), with 12 cup sizes ranging from a Bottom Cup Depth of 2.75″ up to 5.25″. That makes 72 unique sizes in all! What’s more, our Sweet Sixteen has 16 views to make all in one pattern envelope! Make this from stretch lace, fabric, or a combination of lace and fabric. You can line each variation with foam as well for a super comfy fit. Wait, there’s more! You have the option to make each one into a longline (midriff) version or the regular length. All sizes and variations are included in the envelope.
