help making a pattern bigger to medium and large sizes
This section is sponsored by
I have made 2 patterns for both a bralette and a set of panties, theyre the type that use elastic bunched up, similar to a pair of bloomers. Im just wondering how i would make the patterns larger?
Im quite small so im good for small sizes, but if i were to make the patterns to medium and large sizes so that a medium is a us size 6/8 and a large is a size 10/12.
the patterns make bralette and panties like this:
Where abouts would i have to add the extra cms? and by how much for each size? i understand basic pattern making, but i really just cant get my head around this.

Maybe go to a store to see some bras and panties of different sizes.
You will notice that the width is larger but also the length. The panties have to have a larger depth to cover more and the bra cups would also be larger.
