I made this drafting my own pattern, it’s a work in progress.... This is attempt two of original pattern, first try was a complete failure due to sewing with to many distractions, all and all it’s an acceptable draft/base line.
The good: it’s comfortable, amazingly so. The left cup fit is great other than top edging/trim. The band, gore wires all feel good. Straps spaced nicely in back. Wide band and high wings! I want my bra to feel like a warm hug, this has potential.
The bad: I put the hooks/eyes opposite of normal, so I can’t hook it behind my back, or unhook one handed, the cups ... are uneven (barely), made more obvious by the smaller cup being on the bigger breast, also because my breast are crooked. Straps to far apart in front. Cup seam should hit center, it is to low, on redrafted cups pattern bottom is taller, hopefully that fixes it.
The weird: The center comes up further than the wires, still tacks, still comfortable, wires end about 1.5cm down. The band is sloped up in back, as if the bra was to loose but it’s not to loose, it’s a design issue.
