From Muna & Broad:

The Banksia Bralette is the bralette you won’t want to take off! Designed for larger bodies and a range of cup sizes, the unique slings separate the breasts and provide light support. No more sweaty uniboob! The edges are finished with soft fold-over elastic and the generous coverage is comfortable, practical, and beautiful. The Banksia Bralette can be sewn entirely on a domestic sewing machine with a zigzag stitch, or certain steps can be completed with an overlocker/serger.

Suggested Fabrics: 

  • This pattern is designed for 4-way stretch (stretches both horizontally and vertically) knit fabric with good recovery. For the outer fabric, we suggest at least 5% spandex. Suggested blends include: bamboo/spandex, cotton/spandex, rayon/spandex.
     
  • You will also need to source Powernet (sometimes called Powermesh). Please ensure this is Powernet/Powermesh (typically used for bra bands or shapewear) and not stretch mesh (typically used in dancewear). It will feel very firm when stretched.
