Deborah Kraft –
This is a nice bralette pattern. Hidden seams and a lot of options. It provides a lot of coverage which would make it a great swimsuit top as well. If you like wirefree support for your boobs – this is a pattern to help you out! (Don’t skip the powernet lining when looking for support though.)
Mireille Ribiere –
Easy to follow pattern make sure you measure your size according the file and not according you’re bra size.
Donna Jones –
Great fit, comfortable bra that offers pull on or hook and eye versions. The pattern can be made as a simple straight strapped bra or a crossover. Add overlays and/or trim the back of the bra for a pretty finish. It’s really versatile and a great 1st bra project! I made a 2nd version where I lowered the centre front a little and I love it, but thats an easy hack for a personal preference on the finished look.
Charlene Lee –

This is such a quick and satisfying sew!! Feels super comfy and the instructions are fabulous. I’m going to be coupling this with the basic underwear pattern and having loads of matching sets!! Great scrap buster too!

The cut fits well and very comfortable. It is easy to put together with clear sewing instructions. The options of adding lace makes it really pretty to be worn under a sheer top. Love this gorgeous pattern!
Julie Educate-Espinosa –
This is my favorite bra! It it so fast to see up and fits wonderfully! I will be making a ton of these from now on.
Carmen Mills Brent –
Probably the most comfortable bra I have ever made! Trust the sizing of the pattern, and you will end up with an awesome bra. I typically have difficulty finding RTW bras that fit, but this was spot on. I am excited to make more of these and replace my RTW ones.
Tiina Norrkniivilä –
A fairly simple pattern if you take the time to follow the tutorial. The choice of fabric and straps determines how supportive your bra becomes. And remember to measure with accuracy!
Linda Berendsen –
Love the bralette, it’s a fun and quick sew. Perfect for these days when working at home. 🙂 Do make a muslin first, all body’s are different. When the fit is perfect, it will be a great sew to make a couple more. 🙂

Great finished product – a bit fiddly in places but pretty straightforward to make
Jenny Olson-Cole –
I really love how this pattern turned out for myself! I’ve got quite a few more of these bras planned, as well as a swim top because the style works really well for me. Made a smaller band size for my teenager and she loves it as well! Have already used the lace design style to add to a swimsuit for her, we are really enjoying using this pattern over and over!
Abby Batkin –
Most comfortable bra ever! the tutorial is simple enough to follow and the coverage is amazing.
Nadine Simard –
The Racerback Bralette is a wireless bra with a few straps options. I’ve been wearing the bra a few times and I found it very comfortable. This is a beginner project if you would like to start on the adventure of making your own lingerie!
