Continuing the quest

Time to take up the quest for a bra pattern that fits. Getting closer but not there yet. I made the Willowdale bra again with a larger cup. The fit of the cups was much better but there was still something not looking good and the cups are a little too low at the armpit. 

When trying it on I was fiddling around with the bridge part and realised it needed to be narrower. 

How is it that you forget these things? I have done such a change in the past and it makes a lot of difference for me! I didn’t want to unpick (would have been a lot) and have sewn a seam and will wear it to see how it feels during the day. 

 
Willowdale change



In the next two photos the changes I made to the pattern for the next one. First the center front/bridge  


The second change is to make the bra a bit higher at the armpit. 




A photo of the two kits I bought. I want to be sure I use these with a pattern that fits, so they won’t be used for the next one.  I bought these at Small bobbins

  2. Wat een uitdaging. En handig om het zo uit te testen. Succes met het vervolg

  3. That center gore is so important, and so individual! I used the Lilypa method of a seamless mockup in cardstock and everything has been so much better. I'm the opposite of you, short and very wide at the bottom
