The trial bra really helped with the fit and I think the foam lining is probably a bit more forgiving than doing an unlined cup.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665152222823096026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-13277521762637215492012-10-17T12:56:25.101+10:302012-10-17T12:56:25.101+10:30Thanks beajay!Thanks beajay!Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665152222823096026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-13238414111975041032012-10-15T21:18:22.926+10:302012-10-15T21:18:22.926+10:30Gah, what are you doing?

The cup is very comfortable, but I used a not very stretchy fabric on the band plus the straps are way too far apart on the back so the band isn't that comfortable. I'm going to get some tricot knit/lingerie knit for the band on the next version. <br />Can't wait to see your finished one!Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665152222823096026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-24341927419246020262012-10-09T20:07:06.135+10:302012-10-09T20:07:06.135+10:30Thankyou!

Cheers for the link to Sigrid's site - I must have missed that one!

I am now preparing myself for even more sewing envy because I know you will start whipping them out like no man's business. lol. I had looked at her website ages ago, but I wanted to try bra making with patterns that did not take long to get to me, and which I had more reviews to read. I bought the Kwik sew 3300 and two from the Bra Makers. I still have to try them. but I will. I am not letting you leave me behind on this one. lolDibshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878696633282355383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-6393507794721883582012-10-09T04:45:08.247+10:302012-10-09T04:45:08.247+10:30For a first attempt your bra looks great,I shall h...For a first attempt your bra looks great,I shall have to check out the website, I especially like the straps.<br />Louise Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074168748281297290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-14608805073888011562012-10-09T00:42:13.469+10:302012-10-09T00:42:13.469+10:30Suzy, I am impressed!
