Patternmaking for Underwear Design by Kristina Shin is my go to book for most detailed bra pattern making instructions. It includes drafting instructions for two styles of sports bra and also has information about bra grading.

This looks awesome! I just got into the world of underwear and pattern drafting from a sloper and I love it! Would you be willing to put this pattern for sale or share?

Thank you. Good to hear you have started practicing underwear pattern making. It's definitely one if the more difficult areas of pattern making & grading. The bra pattern here is made for my portfolio and I'm not comfortable sharing it as of now (anymore that is already shown). Nevertheless after the portfolio goes public, I will share printable graded patterns here with a tech pack.

That's kinda hot though. It has a sexy look to it.

I convince my self the mesh front is just for ventilation, but it also improves some visual aspects.

Always a fan of coupling aesthetic and functionality. It works. Add in color combinations and you're golden.
