Kestos Style Brassiere Pattern

This is a pattern for a very soft vintage style brassiere with no lift and not much support. It has no boning, no padding with only two thin straps holding the brassiere around the figure. This pattern is based on kestos style brassiere and is an attempt to replicate the original vintage look. Therefore to accommodate for various body heights you will have to choose the correct shoulder strap lengths while you sew and you will not be able to change that while wearing. Check the size range below to see if this pattern is suitable for you.

You need to have a good understanding of hand sewing techniques and processes. That being said, I tried to make this tutorial as detailed as possible. So if you are up for a challenge – try it!
