Another make for my daughter. About two years ago I saw a bra online made in a lovely lace that I thought my daughter would really like. As it wasn’t a rtw bra I looked for the lace and found it. But it was sold by a shop outside my country and shipping costs were so high that I didn’t buy it. I forgot about it until I saw a very similar lace at Suzanne’s lingerie supplies. A shop in my country! So I bought it and made this bra. The lace is not mirrored so it was not possible to make it symmetrical, but it’s okay.
This bra pattern is a copy from a rtw bra. The black one is my first iteration. The cups fit perfectly but the band was a bit too narrow to my daughters liking. Must have been the material. Probably the powernet I used didn’t have the same stretch as the original. So I made the band a bit wider on this new one. Hope it’s good, the bra has yet to be given to her.
It was nice to sew lingerie again, haven’t done that in a long time. My lingerie drawer should get a serious update though. I bought a new bra pattern for myself months ago and have yet to make it. Perhaps I should get myself work on that.
Please please do! I still check all your bra tutorials from time to time. I now make all my own bras thanks to you. Angela

ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHi, oh what a nice bra!
ReplyDeleteI just tried a bra once and after the complet wrong size, I gave up, don´t like the tiny pieces and the materials which are difficult to sew, but perhaps I should give it a second try?
Have a nice day, Sophia
Bijzonder geslaagde projecten. Ik heb lingerie opgegeven omdat mijn figuur niet te tekenen valt. Het vraagt dan teveel tijd en werk voor iets wat je niet ziet
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty bra. Lucky girl! Making a bra for myself is still on my bucket list. Is Kantje Boord still in operation?
