Bralette pattern success for small band/medium bust

Hi ladies,
Not sure if this is the right category to share this adventure - but I know that many of us struggle to find bralettes that fit, are cute and provide support. I recently made a few bralettes using a free pattern (Barrett Bralette by Madalynne intimates). I am a total sewing novice but found a great online video tutorial on Creativebug.

I wear a 28FF/28G and found that in this pattern an XS band and XL cup provided great coverage and fit. The pattern goes up to 3XL, so there are options for ladies with fuller busts and its easy to mix and match band sizes. I used a firm powernet to line the bralette and a wide plush elastic for the band. I've been wearing them non-stop and they are super comfortable. I've linked some pictures for those interested.

  • Thanks veggiechic. The pattern is actually pretty easy. I have zero experience
