Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this from a 70s pattern. It has cool straps, in the front and back, that make it unique. It was also my first try at putting in padded bra cups, since you would not be able to wear a bra with it. Overall, I am pretty happy with it. I also handpicked the zipper, which I am loving lately.
Many more pictures and a patten cover on my blog

I found pattern on Etsy but the pattern fron says size Size 5JP Bust 31 I think I am about the same size as you but am afraid it will be to small I am 34b bust line. Did you add to the pattern or were the sizes much different then?

You could always add a bit to the side seams, and then it wouldn’t affect the neckline. Mine was a 34 and I took a lot out of the sides, but I’m a 32

Any chance you could do a pdf. pattern for us. I live in Florida and could make a dozen of these.

Love the interesting neckline/back. It seems to fit you really well, too.
