Hi everyone!
I've been working on a first for me. I have this 1940s repro pattern of a long line bra, and I'm finally getting around to making it.
First I made the bra exactly from the pattern just to see how it went together.
Next, I took one of my old bras, whose cup size I was pleased with, and applied that to the bra.
The next version I made was sort of a wearable mock up, where I completely finished it with flat felled seams, elastic beneath the arms, and a hook and eye front.
After some final tweaks (I hope) I'm on the fourth version and I plan on finishing this one in a day or so. From there, we will see.
I've exhaustively documented the process so far on my blog. Take a look and thanks!
Yay sewing!
