1940s Adjustable Crochet Bra Pattern | Vintage Lingerie with Backless Straps

This clever 1940s crochet bra is a wonderfully practical design, created to be both comfortable and adaptable. Worked in stranded cotton using a No. 2 steel crochet hook, it features adjustable elastic shoulder straps that can be repositioned, making it ideal for wearing beneath backless or low-backed dresses and evening gowns.

Although the original pattern does not specify an exact bra size, the adjustable construction allows the fit to be tailored to the wearer, making it a versatile project for anyone interested in recreating authentic vintage lingerie.

The original materials list and crochet requirements are shown in the second image, allowing you to match the pattern as closely as possible or substitute with suitable modern equivalents.
