I made a bra!
It's not perfect, nor is it a perfect fit, but I think it's decent for a first attempt! 32E. So obviously it's too shallow at the bottom of the cup and doesn't have enough support because it's wireless. It's kind of a longline which is not completely ideal for me right now because I'm pregnant. I also totally forgot to buy rings, but I wanted to finish it, so I made them out of cord.
I've always wanted to have an online store where I sell something I've made. I have been making face masks since late April and have been doing pretty well with that on Etsy, but I know the demand for those can't last forever. Running that shop for a little over a month has shown me it's actually possible for me to be successful as a small business. I'd love to add bras to my shop offerings, so I'm going to work hard to improve and get my bras to saleable quality.
The pattern is Lana by Made For Mermaids, which you can find here: https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/lana/

I'd be interested! I'm always looking for more ethical bras. A bit of a challenge when you're a 30H, though :P
Yeah, unfortunately this particular pattern only goes up to a US G cup. :( I do want to try out different patterns that have a better size range. This is one of the few I could find that had sub-32 bands and above DD cups.
