Adjusting the Horizontal and vertical axis and wire size within a cup pattern

It was such a pleasure to “work’ with Jennifer Fairbanks to please the Grace Bra pattern in August. I am now beginning to learn computer patternmaking and grading following Jennifers courses with the Polypattern software. The Grace bra allows for the possibility to choose your own wire size within a cup size, however this was something I had previously done by hand drafting for my bespoke clients.

I thought I may share my processes for adapting the horizontal and vertical dimensions and wire lengths within a cup size for bespoke clients. This was previously a method I had achieved by hand drafting , having adapted a method from the book “Bare Essentials” by Jennifer Fairbanks-Mattthews. I had found this an easier method than re-drafting a pattern completely again from a clients measurements.

I have shared a video to my YouTube on how I had done this ….see the video on the AnnieandMyras YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/HppVTVi8BBg
