Pattern School Collection Part 12 - Extended Sizing Swimwear
This is my extended sizing swimwear collection ... it's probably the single biggest collection of extended sizing swimwear you'll ever find in one place! It includes four one pieces, two bikini tops and two bikini bottoms. We have tried to make it less "conservative" than regular extended sizing styles ... we wanted something a little more sexy, showing a little more but still covering what you don't want to show, and of course it still needs to be supportive, comfortable and stable! This collection meets all that criteria!
Want more? How about every bikini top and one piece coming in seven different cup sizes (A through G)? How about the bikini bottoms coming in six pelvic tilt angles (15 degrees anterior through 10 degrees posterior)? The one pieces come preset at 5 degrees of anterior tilt which seems about average for extended sizing, however you shouldn't need to do a tilt adjustment unless you have very strong tilt one way or the other.
These patterns DO NOT come with assembly instructions beyone the basic pattern notes on each style. We assume you have an understanding of reading patterns and sewing stretch ... that said they're a basic to intermediate level of sewing.
This collection is for my extended size range. It covers 82cm-114cm under bust and 101cm-133cm fullest hips. There is a comprehensive size table in the images above, in the zip file and on every pattern page. These sizes are presented as 17 individual size increments of 2cm each, nested in seperate layers for easy viewing and printing.
All the bikini tops and one pieces are also available in 7 different cup sizes from A to G. The bikini bottoms also come in 6 pelvic tilt options from 15 degrees anterior to 10 degrees posterior. The one pieces are only available in 5 degree anterior tilt (which is really neutral in extended sizing).
