The high neck front and racerback silhouette with wide bottom band make it a great pattern for a swimsuit top. This pattern offers adjustable shoulder straps as well.

What other sewists are saying:
The Noelle Halter Bralette is a popular make online. It has some mixed reviews but for the most part sewist seem to really like it. Some of the negative reviews are that the instructions do not come with any photos and can be confusing. However, for more experienced sewists said they did not feel they even needed to look at the instructions. They thought the pattern was straightforward so I would keep that in mind if you are new to sewing lingerie. There were a few sewist who mentioned that the sizing was a bit off. This may be attributed to people’s differing body shapes and the Madalynne fit model not being congruent to the general audience as a whole.
Furthermore, this pattern is great for hacking into a swimsuit and most sewist seem to be very happy with the end result when using this pattern for swimwear. You can add cups between the lining and the main fabric to make it more structured as well. One more quick tip, this design offers a lining but does not have instructions on how to make it a hidden lining. You can use Madalynne’s Sierra instructions instead if you would like to hide the lining for a cleaner look.
Raquel Bralette by Madalynne Intimates

What other sewists are saying:
The Raquel Bralette is very new on the market so there aren’t any blog or Instagram reviews just yet. I scoured the comments on this bralette to find that other sewists were saying this is a comfortable and pretty bra but does lack on cleavage coverage. This comment makes sense as there is a front cleavage cutout that is a design element. Keep that in mind if you have a fuller bust and want more coverage.

- Sizes: 2-30
- Format: PDF download
Description:
The Milla Bralette is a great free pattern from Mood Fabrics. This is a versatile pattern that can be used as a bralette, bralette as a top, or a swim top. The description suggests that it is great for festival season (i.e. Coachella Music Festival in California) probably for its hip ethereal vibe. Mood Fabrics provides a great photo tutorial on their site in which they sew this bralette up in lace with power mesh as a lining for the stretch component. If you sew this pattern you will need to make your own straps which is a must have skill in bra making. Their tutorial makes this super easy to learn.

D’Arcy Bralette Mood Fabrics
- Level: Beginner friendly
- Sizes: 2-30
- Format: PDF download
Description:
The D’Arcy Bralette is a cage bra inspired design that can be worn as a crop top or fashionable bralette under a see-through top. It can also be fashioned into a swimsuit or a lighter bralette for the summer time per the designer. Mood Fabrics has a quick tutorial on how to sew this pattern up. It does require some lingerie making knowledge. Keep this in mind as it is not a step-by-step tutorial nor does it offer many photos to guide you. This pattern is available by download if you enter your email address on the tutorial page.
What other sewist are saying:
This pattern seems to be a hit or miss. Not necessarily because the pattern is not great rather the instructions are not thorough enough which can confuse sewists. This is probably not the best choice for first time sewists considering the lack of photos and instructions. If you are ok with minimal guidance then it is said to be comfortable with a great fit. You will probably want to enclose the seams as to not have them rub against your skin and be extra detailed when sewing the v-neck. This may take some extra practice but will be useful experience for sewing more complicate lingerie.

What other sewists are saying:
It was difficult to find blog’s reviewing this pattern or a hastag for it on Instagram. I looked at the blog post’s comments and found that people responded well to the design although they had not sewn the actually pattern. The designer’s intention with this pattern is for it be be cute, casual and comfy. It definitely seems to hit those three criteria and could be a great pattern to try out especially if you want to do some scrap busting!

The Bralette by So Sew Easy

- Sizes: 30″-34″(S), 34″-38″(M), 38″-42″(L), 42-44″(XL)
- Format: PDF download
Description:
The Bralette by So Sew Easy is a great introductory bra pattern. The So Sew Easy blog offers detailed instruction on how to sew this bralette along with great photos. They also have a video tutorial if you prefer that format. This bralette features light support and modest coverage intended as a summer undergarment. This pattern has the option of adding modesty cups. However, because of the light support it is not recommended for those over a C cup. This is a very cute, dainty bra that can also be fashioned into a crop top or bikini top. It even has the option to make it into a camisole or nightie. I would definitely recommend this pattern for first time bra makers especially if you have a smaller bust size.
What other sewists are saying:
I found some really great photos of people’s makes on Instagram. There wasn’t too much detail about the process but overall you could tell that people really enjoyed this pattern. It is a simple pattern that is very feminine and delicate. This pattern is a great for beginners in bra making not only because it is a simple silhouette and it’s free but it has great instructions.

Description:
The Ultimate Sports Bra is a racerback sports bra pattern. This sports bra is designed with compression in mind. It is meant to be supportive while allowing enough give to feel comfortable. It also allows for bra cup inserts with a front facing for added structure and comfort. This is a great first time sports bra pattern. The design is straightforward and stylish and the directions are excellent. Linked above is the blog tutorial from the So Sew Easy web site. They also have a link to their YouTube video tutorial there.
What other sewists are saying:
I have personally sewn this bra and I very much enjoyed it. The blog post talks about choosing the right fabric which is so key for any sports bra pattern. For me that was my main difficulty. I found four way stretch fabric but ultimately it did not stretch as well as I had hoped. I wore the garment and had no issues with the pattern itself rather my fabric did not stretch as comfortably as I would hope. I would highly suggest getting active wear fabric such as supplex like So Sew Easy suggests.
Hyacinth Bralette by Ohhh Lulu Lingerie
- Level: Beginner friendly

Some of what people are saying is that it is a true scrap buster so they don’t feel bad if they mess up the first go around.

For more experienced sewists, they found it was easy to make adjustments to it or hack it into a swim top. It is also considered a quick sew and is super comfortable.
Maya Bra by AFI Atelier
- Level: Intermediate to advanced

- Format: PDF download
Description:
The Maya Bra is for those serious about taking their bra making to the next level. It is a free bra but it is the quality of a paid bra. AFI offers very clear instruction and they stand by this pattern. This bra is designed as an everyday bra. It offers an underwire structure, non-detachable straps, different cup options and 2 closure options. The pattern allows for modifications to help you get the right fit as well. This is a well thought out bra with a vast amount of resources on their web site that would be a great first time “serious” bra.
What other sewists are saying:
This bra is recommended by other sewists to get you started in sewing a traditional bra even if the size and shape do not ultimately fit you. It teaches you the proper skills needed to continue sewing advanced lingerie patterns. One of the issues that comes up with sewing a bra (any bra) is that the pattern may not compliment your body type. This was the issue that came up with this pattern but that is not to say that this isn’t a thoughtful well designed pattern. Rather, you just may not know or understand what your body type needs. Nonetheless, it is still a great pattern especially if you have the body type for it.

This pattern does have a lot of components so you will end up learning a lot. It is a one size only pattern but the instructions include how to measure the correct cup and band size. Make Bra has some really great PDF bra pattern options so they definitely know what they are doing. They also have a bra-making course if you want to grow your bra-making skills.
What other sewists are saying:
Make Bra features a Finnish blogger on their site who reviewed this pattern. I read through the translated post and she seemed to really enjoy this pattern. Her make turned out really well. It looks even better than the digital drawing! I think the only setback was triple checking to make sure the straps were all in the right place.
