#sewing friends, do you know any good bralette/bra patterns for big boobs (I'm talking F-H cup sizes)?

This busty femme is frustrated with what's out there ready-to-wear and would like to learn how to make their own.

I'd like to start with something unwired, since I like to wear unwired bras as casual comfy everyday underthings.

@draco I've bookmarked those below following recommendations from folks with bigger cup sizes (I want to try, too).
Sizes for most patterns go at least up to F, but not all

@kikir thank you! I've eyed Emerald Erin's Jordy bralette occasionally, but I'm *just* outside the size range.

@draco did you take a look at Sophie Hines? the Euler bra looks a bit similar to the Jordi bra. Size goes up to 127 cm full bust (not sure if this is more than Jordi). I've made a toile once, support is not bad.

@kikir well, now that I've looked at the measurements provided...

It is a beautiful bra, and I so want to make it, but I might have to adjust things because my measurements are one size for the full bust and a different one for the underbust.

@draco That's where I got stuck with my toile, too: underbust and straps fit well, but cup is too small. I thought next time I would use the same size for underbust, but go with the bigger cup (or even additionally try a full bust adjustment for the cup).
