1) Using the dress foundation, draft front and back of bra as shown in style 1, diagrams 1 to 4, but make the changes in drafting the front of bra as follows:
Make length of upper front, 1/3” of center front and side lengths; then separate as shown in diagram 2.
2) For extra length over the bust, add 1/2″ to each front section at breast point, to nothing at front and side edges as shown by dotted lines.
3) For closer fit at lower part of front, make dart 1” wider [1/2” at each side of dart] as shown by dotted lines.
4 and 5) For lower front sections, draw circular lines as indicated. Mark sections D-E-F-G; then separate B and from front, and combine section D and E as shown in diagram 5.
For closer fit at upper edge of front, make reduction in 2 places as indicated. Mark sections H-I-J; then close up sections as shown in diagram 5.
Draw slightly curved lines at inner edges of sections F and G as shown by dotted lines in diagram 5.
