In this video, I make a 1940s bra using a pattern I took from an original bra in my collection. I show you the techniques typically used to construct a bra from this era and go through how fabric choices will change the shape and look of the bra.
The free pattern can be found here:

For making this bra you'll need to print out and cut the pattern pieces, no taping sheets of paper together is required.
supplies:
1/2 yards woven sturdy fabric preferably in a natural fiber
3 yards bias binding
6-10 inches (or to underbust measurement) 3 1/4 inch wide elastic
hook and eye tape or premade bra closure
optional bra strap adjuster hardware
