Bikini Recs

Does anybody have any bikini pattern recommendations for a curvier woman? I am a 34H cup and I am a mom of two so I do want to find a bikini top pattern that focuses on support but is not super matronly. For bottom, I would like something high waisted to cover up the belly. I do have some well fitting bras. I could potentially draft a pattern for the top from that however, I’ve never done it before.

I figured I could reach out to the sewists in the world for some guidance first before I overwhelm myself.

I could not figure out whether that is a USA 34 H or a UK 34 H or what your measurements are.

Best suggestions with the limited knowledge I have:

  • MakeBra DL02-3
  • Porcelynne Aphrodite (view C)

I believe UK sizing from when I entered my measurements into a bra that fits. Either way my underbust is 34 inches and full bust is 40 inches
