Too Many Gorgeous Bra Patterns? This Chart Helps You Pick

Ever look at your pattern stash and think, “Wow… I’ve really given myself a lot of great options”?
It’s a lovely problem to have, but still a problem when you’re trying to decide what to sew next.

So I put together a Bra Pattern Comparison Chart — a simple, at-a-glance guide that breaks down each pattern by cup shape, support level, and size set. It’s not flashy, but it is incredibly helpful. Think of it as your friendly bra-making compass, pointing you toward the pattern that fits your mood, your project, and your sewing energy today.

Now choosing your next make is the easy part. Sewing it… that’s the fun part.
