Dressmakers Cup Sizes - what are they are how do I know what one I am?

It’s been great to see that more and more indie pattern companies are changing their sizing to be more inclusive and offer a greater size range and also more built in alterations to patterns, such as full bust adjustments. Often these are labelled as different cup sizes but I’ve realised that a lot of my lovely customers don’t always totally understand what the cup sizes mean as they don’t correspond to the cup size you might buy in a bra from a shop. The cup sizes labelled on sewing patterns are ‘dressmakers cup sizes’ and are a bit different. So I wanted to give you a few examples of where you can find these cup sizes and how to work out what cup size you should use when making your own clothes from these sewing patterns. Check out the blog post linked to this video for a summery of what I've said and a list of pattern companies that offer different pattern sizes. https://guthrie-ghani.co.uk/blog/dres...
