Ok so people do keep going on and on about it but simple question....
recomendations for Bra patterns with minimal or no central bridge.
I find any that put wires between my breasts painful.
bit like ezi-sew 105 but with more central straps so not so much of a
silly cleavage.
I'm bound to have to alter to size somewhat but the less the better so
bigsized patterns preffered. I'm a UK 38H.
thanks

Hi Indi,
Fancy your mentioning this issue, because I just finished assembling an
Excel spreadsheet of all the bra patterns available on the internet
last night! (I'm starting a website, www.theBraConnection.com , which
is a guide to bras for hard-to-fit women. I'm working on the
Sew-It-Yourself section this week.)
Since my web designer won't be able to put it up for another week or
so, I can email it to you (or anyone else who wants it). And, I can
also point you to
www.spitzen-paradies.de
The Amsterdam Bra by Your Dessous goes to an I cup, although it is
average height of wire in the center.
The Queen Bra Elite pattern by Anne St. Claire of Needlenook fabrics
goes to 48 H cup, and she is happy to specially draft one for you if
you have special needs. (She said so yesterday!)
http://butterflycrossing.stores.yahoo.net/braelqusi.html
No pic available, but I suspect also average wire height.
The Merckwaerdigh brand of patterns have several that come in demi
styles, at
www.kreative-dessous.de
They have an English translation option. But they're definitely not
in your cup size.
If you have a commercial bra that is the right size and shape, you can
have a pattern made from it by Brenda Solanki of
www.sewfittingdesigns.com
or LeeAnn Burgess at
http://shop.beautifulbras.com.au/store/products/category106.inetstore
LeeAnn will cut it up, Brenda will not. LeeAnn is cheaper. I just had
my favorite Fantasie bra patterned and it seems perfectly accurate.
If you don't have a commercial bra that you love yet, please email me.
My RTW bra database has close to 300 brands right now, several of which
come in your size. It's possible we can find you one with low enough
wires in the center. (That database is going to take a few more months
to get ready for posting to the Bra Connection.)
As a note, you will probably need to use the special flexible coil
underwires available at
www.bramakers.com
because they are just cut-to-any-length type. The other option is
going to be ordering regular length wires and using strong cutters to
shorten the center. I believe Bra Makers also sells the tip dip that
coats custom-cut wire ends.

oh wow thank you so much. Would be worth posting all that at
patternreview.com. they have huge long discussions on the making of
bras. have been looking at the desserous (or whatever it is) but gave
up cuase of the german that Google was having issues with. will check
out your other links and eagerly await your site:-)

Thanks for the kind words. From the sketch of the Your Dessous
pattern, it looks very supportive. If you can manage to ignore the
German translation, it might be a wonderful choice.
Can you say which brand in which you wear a 38H? I'll see what I can
come up with in RTW styles. Just need to know precisely which system
you're going by.

Whoops! It occurs to me to mention that Brenda Solanki is a certified
teacher of PatternMaster Curves. She might be open to drafting you a
whole pattern according to your specifications if you have clear ideas
of the seaming.
Also, check out the site for the Canadian Association of Professional
Bra-Makers. There are so many women listed, and there's likely someone
who can custom draft you a pattern.
