Sewing Pattern Vintage Style Underwear

, by . 4 Comments

The Cindy Pattern allows you to sew a vintage style long line bra, bodysuit, and high waist panties. The retro-look bra offers full coverage over the bust, and flexible sizing due to the soft cups, which can be lined or unlined. This complex pattern is geared towards intermediate to advanced level sewists. It has been developed to allow you to truly customize the fit through “connect the dot” seams and some basic pattern manipulation. The Cindy Pattern offers so much versatility in styling and would even make the perfect one or two-piece bathing suit.

This pattern comes with all of the pattern pieces you need to make your own custom bra and panties set, as well as a tutorial on how to alter the pattern to make it into a one piece bodysuit. You can purchase this pattern here, via Etsy.
