- In this video, I make a 1940s bra using a pattern I took from an original bra in my collection. I show you the techniques typically used to construct a bra from this era and go through how fabric choices will change the shape and look of the bra.
The free pattern can be found here:

For making this bra you'll need to print out and cut the pattern pieces, no taping sheets of paper together is required.
supplies:
1/2 yards woven sturdy fabric preferably in a natural fiber
3 yards bias binding
6-10 inches (or to underbust measurement) 3 1/4 inch wide elastic
hook and eye tape or premade bra closure
optional bra strap adjuster hardware
I've started making myself 1930s-style bras (self-drafted) and your observations on what it's like to wear them are spot on for my own experiences, too! More supportive with movement yet feeling more like not wearing a bra - exactly. The fact that you can make them out of natural fibre definitely helps with that feeling, too!
That too for sure!
Thank you for the Pattern, and the video explaining about the fit
what this is great. Thank you for sharing the pattern and your talents😊
It’s so awesome that you’ve provided this pattern for free. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to trying it out. It’s also super cool to see your construction process as well ❤
First of all, I am happy that this pattern is for a bigger bust size as I’m currently at a 32E/30F 😂 secondly I am rooting for you 💜 you still sound a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera but it is so heartwarming that you still want to take all of us on this journey with you and are willing to share your experience and knowledge with others 💜 Thank you so much 🫶
I'm definitely not uncomfortable 😂 apparently I just have an annoying raspy voice 😂😂😂
This is splendid! I'm looking to sew my own 40ish-50ish bra, and this should be very close to my size. Thank you. 🙏
Yey! 🎉🎉🎉
I love your channel. I always “like” any of your releases. Keep bringing us this wonderful content. 💖
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a dress and slip already and a bra for both will add to the whole look.
Thank you so much! You are appreciated. It is very kind of you to make this pattern available. Thank you
Love the video so enjoy for now as l love all things that you've made of early days fashion just beautiful and thankyou 🎉
Excellent video! Thank you! I just found you and this my first video
Welcome 🥰 and I hope you you like it here
Thank you so much !! This is very helpful. I really love this video. You explained everything so nicely 🤎🤍
Super cute! Thank you so much for the pattern
Thank you for the pattern ❤and a lovely video
Serious Question- For the less flexible folks, How easy would it be to adapt this to being a front closure style? or even side closure? Having worked with the pattern, which in your opinion would be better?
The cup size for me seems to be about spot on, though I may have to expand the band, Definitely going to be in the "Make" now pile. I find most bras today to be to "Stuffy"( not sure that's the right word, but close enough) because where I can find bras close to my size, they have so many plastic-y fabrics- polyester, etc. They just don't breathe well like natural fibers would.
Yep I agree about modern bras also with them the underwire needs to fit exactly to be comfortable, this style is a lot more flexible. I'd do a front closure for sure! With a hook and eye tape I think it'd work really well. I think I'll try that actually on my next one 😊
I have been looking for a long line bra for an A cup. As I get older, back support is needed.
I'd recommend looking at mrs depew patterns, she has some beautiful vintage bra patterns that work well for smaller cup sizes 😊
@@sewthroughtime thank you🙂
And these construction notes work with most bras of this era 😊 no matter what pattern you end up using
@@sewthroughtime than you. I will look into it.
Awesome. That bra appears to offer as much support as a sports bra.
I like the wide back band. I cannot understand companies that made bras in D, or bigger with a measly litte two hook back band fastener. How is that supposed to anchor a pair of D's?
😊👏👏👏👏👏
Can we make the bouncing part be in every video? cause i'd like to vote for the bouncing part being in every video
