jhameiaI went to do some shopping today. Needed some notions, and some bra things, since I cut out some more bra fabric for a new one. I think before I leave Hamilton, I would like a good few new bras, and I can give away my old ones. I have white and red fabric! Pink, ivory and white trimmings! Pink and red lace! Hooray!
I told one of the owners there, I was sad to miss the professional bra fitting course that's in September. It's a ten-week course and basically covers everything about making custom bras for other people. And she told me, "but we have a four-week one coming up." It runs from June 25 to July 20 (and the week after that is a corset-making class), costs $2700, and still taking students.
AND PING. I only fly out of Canada July 30th! I can take this class! And maybe put myself through school making bras! (Wait, I already have money for that.) And fund all my hobbies making bras! And maybe if I don't feel like staying in academia after I'm done my PhD I can just keep making them!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I should probably learn to sew my own. I've got weird proportions, so it's hard to find something my size. (I'm a healthy weight with itty bitty boobs and a big barrel chest. I think I'm a 38A)

Date: 2012-06-05 04:33 pm (UTC)Turns out I'm actually 38D, when all this time, people at shops have been telling me I'm 36C =/ I think I may have put on weight too! I'm going to have to experiment with sizing for my bras. I'm also experimenting with wires as well, whether I can go without them or not.
