SIZING
Band sizes 28 to 54 and cup sizes C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, I, and J; includes full bust 31"-65" (79-165 cm) and underbust 28"-55" (72-142 cm).
Note: Cashmerette bra sizing is calculated in a different way to standard Cashmerette garment sizing. Your Cashmerette bra size may also be different from your ready-to-wear bra size. Use the bra size guide (also included in the Willowdale pattern instructions) to determine your ideal starting size.
RECOMMENDED FABRIC
The Willowdale Bra can be made using the same fabric for the main and lining, or it can be lined using a lighter weight lining fabric with similar stretch properties. Consult the pattern's instruction booklet for the specific elastic and notions needed for your bra size.
Main fabric & lining: Lightweight fabric with low stretch (Maximum 20% in one direction only, also known as 2 way stretch), such as low stretch 40 denier nylon tricot or a low stretch poly/lycra fabric. This results in good support with some flexibility and is easier to fit.
Back band: Mid-weight stretch fabric with up to 50% stretch, such as nylon/spandex power mesh.
Lace: Stretch lace with at least 20% stretch, with decorative edging (scallops), at least 6” (15 cm) wide for view A, and at least 8” (20 cm) wide for view B.
ELASTICS
- Plush back band elastic (½" or ¾" depending on size) with optional picot edge
- Plush back underarm elastic (3/8" or ½") with optional picot edge
- Strap elastic (½" or ¾" depending on size)
NOTIONS
- Hook & eye closure (3 or 4 rows depending on size)
- 2 rings and sliders (½" or ¾" depending on size)
- Underwire channeling
- Pair of rounded, regular underwires
- Universal needle and thread
- Optional: Lingerie bow
TOOLS
Spray fabric adhesive (View B - optional), tailor’s ham or rolled up towel, walking foot for sewing machine (optional), press cloth.
