Bra Pattern Cutting Short Course

About this course

The course examines bra construction through different styles, cup seam arrangements, wires and fabric types. Participants are shown two approaches to pattern development: modelling on the stand and drafting from provided measurements. They also make a bra toile and practise fitting it to the stand. Pattern work is carried out in size 34B. Grading patterns for other sizes and producing finished bras are outside the course.
