News & Events

New Lingerie Pattern: Forme Bralette

Bratobe just released their first ever pattern, the Forme Bralette. The value proposition of this company is quite interesting: when you buy the pattern, you will receive a copy that it is drafted according to your measurements! Which means every pattern is unique to the individual who purchases it.

As per the pattern designer:

• Custom-fit. The pattern will be made to fit your unique measurements. There is no size range, I can work with any underbust measurement. The pattern is tested until the G cup, or when your underbust is about 7inch smaller than your full bust. If you are above a G cup, send me an email for the testing opportunity. 
• Support. Specially developed design to provide support even for larger sizes.
• No monoboob! The pattern was designed to provide separation.
• Comfort. It is a soft bra with no wires.
• Asymmetry is normal. I will draft a pattern for each of your breasts with no additional fee!
• One free change to the pattern. If it doesn´t fit like a glove the first time around, we will discuss problems and I will send you a new updated pattern. I will not let you down!
• Beginner friendly project. You will receive detailed instructions with photos, sewing tips, and how to troubleshoot and solve the most common problems. 

You can purchase the Forme Soft Bralette here.
