Woo!

So between 3.40 and 9.30, I made this and this! Well OK, the white and blue one, I'd already cut out the pieces a couple of weeks ago, just needed to sit down and make it, but it took me about 25 minutes to get the pieces for the vertical seam bra cut and ready! And it turned out well, which I'm really happy about ^_^ I may try to get it done without the lace upper cup, and instead make a plain piece with funky trimming. I also have to get that rainbow vomit bra done too.

My attempt to adjust the shorts pattern ended up with me creating an elongated crotch, which was a terrible idea. I'm just trying to make the shorts baggy! Instead I put in enough fabric for it to dangle like labia XD Oh well, I'll just try again. Maybe I'll take a hike up to Value Village to look for some scrap fabric.

Here's a reminder that I'm borrowing out my books!

Wow. You're really getting good at this. You might even be able to make enough bras to pay your way to cons all over the USA while in grad school.

I hope so, but I was listening to a conversation about custom bra pricing ($200 minimum) and I'm not sure I have it in me to charge that much to make any profit....

Where were you sized? And how was it done? Your bras look too small in the cup.

You might want to post to the bra comm I maintain to see if that's the case.

Sized at the bra maker school, based on measurements, trying on the sample bras which are standard sizes, and adjusting the patterns if I had any issues with the standard bras. The bras look too small in the cup because the band is slightly bigger than standard (which is what I need). (I'm actually going to make the band bigger again, I think.) I do use the D-size patterns tho.

No I'm not saying in terms of proportion. I'm saying that you look like you have some slight bubbleover, so might need a slightly fuller cup.

Oh, I see what you mean. I think that's just the angle I cammed it at, because the boobs are right in where they should be with no spillover.
