Pair Your Carlyle with the Concord
There’s a reason why the Concord is our bestselling pattern—well-fitting, multi-cup size t-shirts are such a joy to wear, and yet still surprisingly hard to come by when you have big boobs. Sewists who have made this pattern come back to it again and again, and here’s some of what they’ve shared with us:
I LOVE this pattern!!! I never realized before just how much I would appreciate a perfectly fitted tee. I’ve always “made do” with a tee that didn’t fit in the shoulders or strained at the bustline. I just can’t recommend this pattern highly enough!!!!

Finally! I’m so weary of tweaks and FBAs—this one fit without a single adjustment. I’m excited and grateful.
-Susan
This is the best fitting tee I have ever worn. I have made 6 already.
-NR
I never realized what a difference cup size makes in a tee shirt. I loved this pattern and the v neck, which is harder to find sometimes.

I am so excited about this one! This is the pattern that I didn’t know I needed. This would also be so cute hacked into a dress, with clear elastic at the waist and a gathered skirt.
Thank you for including detailed measurements of your models and using a variety of models in each size range. I am a different size but very similarly proportioned to Brittany. Traditional advice puts me in a B cup and your calculator puts me in a C/D cup. Based on things I’ve made, I felt like the E/F would be better, but assumed I had done something else wrong to affect fit. I asked myself, “How could my size be so far off from what is suggested”? (Nevermind that I’ve also never fitted into the prescribed bra size, no matter how my weight and boobs have fluctuated.) Seeing someone “like me” is helpful. Likewise, it’s also helpful to see how different everyone can be and still look gorgeous, in their wonderfully fitting garments.
