Basic Bralette

Details

When fantasizing about this pattern, I wanted a few specific features: it had to be a simple "basic" pattern that people could easily modify, it had to be easy to adjust for different sizes, and finally, it had to be comfortable to wear! After a few experiments, this pattern for the Basic Bralette was born!

I chose a triangular cup with rounded edges because they look nice and it's easy to adjust the size. I opted for a back strap with crossed strings so you don't get pressure on your neck like with traditional bikini-style strings. I love crossed strings on the back, for example, I also designed the Plus Size Mehndi Halter with them!! I also added a string along the cups on the inside because that's totally HIP!
