Primrose Dawn Annika Wireless Mastectomy Bra

Buy the Annika Wireless Mastectomy Bra sewing pattern from Primrose Dawn. This is a special edition of the Annika Wireless Bra, designed with a mastectomy pocket and flat cup options for those who have had a breast removed.

Combine beauty and comfort with the Annika Wireless Bra. Annika is a supportive, full-coverage bra designed for low-stretch fabrics. With multiple style options for cups, bridges, and bands, you can mix-and-match a new bra wardrobe. A vertical seam and inner cup dart provide the opportunity to create the perfect cup fit. Style options include full foam cups, quilted foam outer cups, butterfly lace overlay, partial-cup lace overlay, lace-up illusion bridge, front hook and eye closure, and scalloped lace edges at the neckline, bridge, and back band. Designed with comfort in mind, Annika has seams that are enclosed or covered with channeling. Optional boning at the cradle/cup seam can add more stability.

Mastectomy pocket option: Pocket opening with overlapped edges, similar to a pillow sham. The pocket extends from the bridge to the side seam to assure that all shapes of breast prostheses can be accommodated.

Flat cup option: Princess seam cup shape that fits flat against the chest for those who do not wish to use a prosthesis. The pattern includes lace overlay options to match the full-cup shaping styles.
