Patterns based on D cup or higher? bust size
MagnoliaHoney Beginner KS USA Member since 8/16/10 Posts: 238	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/8/11 3:03 PM As we all know most patterns are based on a B cup bust size. I wear a I cup. I hate having to do FBA's especially since even the largest plus size patterns out there usually don't correlate with my bust measurements. I have found ONE pattern company that based their patterns on a D cup and really she gives so much ease it's often larger as I rarely if ever have to do a FBA and her stuff fits me with out one! So I am really interested if there is any companies out there that I don't know about that also base their patterns on a D cup or larger bust size. ------ Visit my blog http://www.heathersprairie.blogspot.com

The 'regular' pattens use a C cup. I also hate making FBAs, so I lean to Burda. I think Collete and Hot Patterns may also be in the C range. ------ Cidell www.missceliespants.com

Vogue, Butterick, and McCalls has them intermixed with the regular patterns. Simplicity has a special collection: http://www.simplicity.com/c-377-a-b-c-d-cup-sizes.aspx HotPatterns varies their cup size based on the pattern size with larger sizes using a C/D or higher cup. I don't know anyone who goes up to I. Hope it helps.

I suspect that not only to they start with a larger cup size, but that increases as the sizes go up. ------ Michelle http://cheapandpicky.blogspot.com/

I've just started playing with the Very Easy Vogue CustomFit for A, B, C, D cup sizes. I haven't been able to search them with CustomFit but think I have found most of them in the Very Easy section. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

I'm so glad to see them increasing the selections each time. McCalls and Vogue both had a bunch of them recently. I can generally do a 14 or 16 D cup pattern and not have to do an FBA even though I'm much larger than a D. Colette Patterns too I agree are great for full busted women and very flattering. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

She has a blouse for that has fronts with different sized darts up to DD. It's 5300. I've also had good luck with her T shirt 5212, average fit. Silhouette patterns also come in cup sizes. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
