Buy the Willow Soft Cup Bra sewing pattern from Sew Projects. Inspired by vintage bra designs, the Willow features a high cup profile and surrounding arc neckline shape. While it has been modernised to feel as comfy as your everyday bralette, it fits more like a structured bra to give you that desired shape and support. The rigid cups provide support, and the stretch neckline adds comfort and ease. The pattern also comes with options for a side sling or ballet back for extra support.

Mix your favourite comfy stretch fabrics with your favourite rigid fabrics. Just like the pattern, it's great for using up fabric scraps, and the Willow Soft Cup Bra matches the  perfectly so you can make a set!

Note: This pattern is also available in a DD - G cup (full bust) version .
