SIZING INFO - 32 - 34 - 36 - 38 - 40 - 42 - 44" bust sizes.
PLEASE READ!
Patterns from the 1940s didn't have cup measurements. Instead, they used the full over-bust measurement (rather than your under-bust as in most modern bras). There are notations on the pattern that show where to add or subtract for a better fit around the breast, but other cup sizes aren't included in the pattern. Please measure your full overbust before buying this pattern to make sure that it fits. Please do not message us with your bra size asking if the bra will fit you. We cannot answer that question - only your full overbust measurement will provide the answer.
