From pattern:
Adapt it for the fuller figure by working more increases under the bust and making a deeper band round lower edge.
Materials: Two reels of machine twist, or any mercerised sewing cotton, 36-40, used double by taking a thread from each reel. A fine, steel crochet hook. Ribbon for straps and facings; two buttons and two lengths of elastic.
Measurements: Original brassiere fits a 33-35-inch bust.
