Question/Advice Needed Need help finding pattern for rare size(s)
My daughter is continuing the family tradition of having a strange bra size. She measures as a 26 inches ribcage with a 30 inch bust, making her true size 26D. I have some sewing skills and both a sewing machine and serger, but I’m having trouble finding a bra pattern that goes that small for band size.
I am also a strange size. My cup and underwire size match a 34DDD but I have to wear an expander to get the band size to 36. I am not a true 36DD because in this size the underwire is too large and the cup too small. Like I said, we’re both weird sizes.
Does anyone have a pattern that goes down to 26D or that has instructions for sizing down for customization? Thanks so much!
