Pattern School Collection Part 15 - Extended Sizing Swimsuits
This collection is quickly becoming one of my favourites because it's making everyone so happy. It's a collection of three one pieces and three bikini sets that can all be mixed and matched ... heck you could even mix the bikinis with the one pieces to a limited degree ... eg; putting the thong back or a cheeky bottom on a one piece.
They are available in my extended women's sizes (underbust 82cm to 114cm, fullest hips 101cm to 133cm), in six different pelvic tilt options and six cup sizes (B-G). Each size is an increment of just 2cm to make blending between sizes easier and so you can select a ready to wear scale better suited to your particular market. The full coverage bottoms also come with 5 different leg height choices.
They're all relatively easy to sew ... some designs require a 2" (50mm) ring at the bust or a soft 1" (25mm) elastic waist band or under bust band ... take a look at the designs in the photos.
These patterns DO NOT come with assembly instructions beyond the basic pattern notes on each style. We assume you have an understanding of reading patterns and sewing stretch.
This collection is for my extended sizing adult women's size range. It covers 82cm to 114cm under bust and 101cm to 133cm fullest hips. There is a comprehensive size table in the images above 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.
The bottoms come in 6 pelvic tilt options from 15 degrees anterior to 10 degrees posterior and the tops come in B to G cups ... even the one pieces are seperated at the waist with the same above options so you can mix and match tilt and cup size with absolute freedom.
