A side-overlap bralette with darts — no clasps, no hardware, just a clean fit.
The Bella Bra features a side overlap design with bust darts and a soft curved seam wrapping around the bust, shaping naturally to your bust for real support — without a single clasp or piece of hardware. Wide straps are sewn along the entire armhole from back center, offering extra support under the arm and making additional accessories unnecessary.
This pattern includes two front styles in one — sew the version with the small front keyhole opening for a playful, flirty detail, or the clean, no-opening front. Both use the same base pattern, so you can make whichever suits your mood (or sew both!).
All edges are finished from the inside, and a cotton jersey lining adds extra comfort. For an even more secure fit, you can optionally add a small piece of flat boning in the side bust seam — totally optional, but takes the support to the next level.
