The Jasmine Bra might have a run for it’s money for the position of “favourite bra pattern.”
The Romy Bra is a step up in complexity from the Jasmine bra. It has a three-piece, lined “cup” and shaped wing. I really love the scooped back.
The instructions walk you through how to line the bra, how to sew it with a scalloped lace neckline or a elastic-trimmed neckline. I’ve even included a bonus tutorial on how to add a strappy neckline! I kind of thought I was tired of the strappy-bra thing, but when I put this one on, I think I changed my mind.
I’m really happy with the finish on this bra. It’s still relatively simple as far as bras go, but I think it has even more versatility than the Jasmine. You know me, I love a pattern that can be sewn lots of ways.
If you’re looking to sew one of these for yourself, check out my step by step video on YouTube!
