From 5 Out of 4:

The Alpha Bra, Tank, and Dress is the option if you want to stand apart from the crowd!  You’ll be saying, “Thanks, I made it…and it has pockets!” all day long every time you wear it!

The Alpha Bra, Tank, and Dress includes:

  • Women’s sizes XXS – 5XL
  • No binding finish – hidden seams for less chafing
  • Full Bust Adjustment (FBA) front bodice piece
  • High or low neckline
  • Bra, tank, and a knee-length dress in either an A-line or swing silhouette
  • Optional pockets on the swing dress
  • Tank and dress have built-in shelf bra

The Alpha Bra, Tank, and Dress LOOKS hard to sew, but once you see the basic layout, it is QUICK to sew up!

Suggested fabrics: 4-way stretch knit fabric with at least 50% stretch in both directions. Lycra blends such as polyester, cotton and nylon will work well. Lycra (spandex) will help the fabric keep its shape. Lining fabric such as swim lining or nylon Lycra can be used to line the bra. For additional support, sandwich a compression fabric, power mesh or similar fabric between the main bra fabric and the lining.
