Okay it is for the postpartum breast support, but damn if that isn't a BRA!
So yeah I have created a few new boards, this one is in the early Brassieres pre 1920
Though it might also be in Maternity and Nursing corsets through history. I also started Antique Maternity/Nursing Clothes
evil slevils!
anyways my pattern has a waistband and is broad fall, so no making slits, just seams. the 3T uses 9 buttons on the bodice, an additional 3 buttons on the pants, for a grand total of 14 button holes yes that is corect! a couple of buttons go through more than 1 hole.
If I had made narrow fall there would be an aditional 2 buttons and buttonholes.
additional decorative buttons may be added, none are given at cuffs or hems.
There are no pockets! I may add some to the pattern at a later date, but my boys rarely use tier pockets....
And then grading, since I made a size 3, but need 5.....
