Women with a full bust on a smaller frame
Buttoned by ownthread
Each piece is cut with bust room built into the pattern, not sized up: room at the bust, shoulders and waist that stay yours, and a front that hangs level.
-
Shirt that closes
Bust darts and a hidden apex button keep the placket flat; shoulders and armholes stay narrow.

Why normal sizing fails
- Standard patterns are drafted for roughly a B or C cup. Sizing up for the bust makes the shoulders, armholes and waist too big.
- Button plackets gape, wrap tops fall open, and hems ride up at the front because the front body is not cut longer.
- Alterations can take in a waist but cannot add bust depth or move a dart where it belongs.
How we get your fit
Tell us your full bust, underbust and height. We take the frame measurements (shoulders, armholes, neck) from your smaller size and the bust room from your larger one, add front length so the hem hangs level, and place the darts for your shape. A technical designer reviews every order.
Questions
Do you use bra sizes?
No. We ask for two tape measurements, full bust and underbust, which describe the same thing without brand-specific cup letters.
Is this made to measure?
It is made to order to your proportions. We start from a tested pattern, adjust its lengths and proportions to your numbers, and a technical designer reviews the result before sampling.
What if it does not fit?
We sample first and make it right. If a delivered garment misses the promised fit, we remake it or refund you.
How long does it take?
Made to order: typically several weeks from deposit to delivery, confirmed with your order.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Customize opens the garment in our studio where you can change color, fabric, details and artwork. Your fit is kept separately, so design edits never undo it.
Buttoned is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
