So I put together a Bra Pattern Comparison Chart — a simple, at-a-glance guide that breaks down each pattern by cup shape, support level, and size set. It’s not flashy, but it is incredibly helpful. Think of it as your friendly bra-making compass, pointing you toward the pattern that fits your mood, your project, and your sewing energy today.
