Sewing my own long line bra.

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!
