1st Bra sewing attempt
what i learned:
*to take breaks (sewn within 2 hours--includes cutting pattern, etc.)
*go slowly, hast does make waste, lol
*re-make pattern pieces; i made my own pattern from an old bra i cut up, a 32D - Paramour ยป Melody Full Busted Demi Contour Bra (135003) or use ready-made pattern
how it turned out:
*i messed up a couple steps as i was just "winging it", but after further research i found out what couple problems i did have and know how to do them for next time
how it fits:
*well the gore doesn't tack, but that's probably because of the plastic "wires" i used instead of metal because i didn't know if i was going to have to cut them to size
*the point where the 3 cup pieces meet are too pointy leaving a tad bit of empty space
*the band fits nice and snug
*i improvised the straps because i didn't have enough strap length to do a u-band, and would have liked one
all in all i don't think it's "too" bad...

For a first try I think that turned out pretty good. I love the blue fabric!
That looks like a brilliant piece of work! Yes, the fabric is very lovely. I am seriously impressed.
