You should try to salvage the T-shirt bra :D The cups have probably molded over time to your breast contours and might be impossible to replace. Fix the broken parts with your new bra making knowledge.

She could probably use the pattern for the band and straps and just skip the cup steps and instead use the cups from her bra. Especially since it seems that the problems are the band and clasps being worn out.

@BreaknRemake 3 года назад

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but I totally take apart my old bras and use their cups to make new bras. If the foam cup is still ok in your t-shirt bra, take off the band and either make a pattern with the pieces or frankenstein it into a pattern you purchased. If the fabric is looking a little worn out I pick the cover off and put new fabric on the cup too! It's a real game-changer.

As someone who is in their final year of an intimates degree at uni (Fashion Contour at London College of Fashion) I can tell you bra making is one of the hardest things you learn to do 😂 once you can make a bra, you can make anything

@tinekejoldersma 3 года назад

Go contact Erin again as she didn't send you a T-shirt bra but a supportive one with an extra C section to help the breast to be supported extra from the sides. That will always be visible under a t-shirt. If it folds a bit on top of the breasts it could be you need a smaller size. You need a ready-made cup, like in swimming wear. The whole bra making will be almost the same but the fabric will cover the ready-made cup inside and outside. Wish you luck with making that one. Was lovely to see you make such a beautiful bra.

@sadegodfrey4738 3 года назад

As the for the ready-made cups, she could totally salvage the ones from her old t-shirt bra. Also, I'd suggest avoiding bra patterns with multiple seams in the cups (like this one has one upper and one lower cup pieces, others have two lower cup pieces and one upper cup), because they do tend to show through thinner/form-fitting clothes. It's better to use a stretchy fabric and cut a single piece to line the outside of your cup.

@tinekejoldersma 3 года назад

@@sadegodfrey4738 No, the inner cup will be just as old and ready for the carbage as the outer. And it's always made with what I told.

@emmao6578 3 года назад

@@tinekejoldersma there's no reason not to use the cups from her t-shirt bra if they're still intact and supportive for her. Different parts of the bra will degrade quicker than others, I've got a hole in one of my bras in the same place wendy has because I had a jagged edge on my nail that caught the lace but I've had the bra for less than 6 months. There's no reason to throw away the whole bra if something like that happens.

@tinekejoldersma 3 года назад

@@emmao6578 That's something completely different, then the bra is oke but just a hole. Old bras are old. No need for recycling. If you make a new bra you buy new inserts.

Should probably try a pattern that doesn't have a seam in thr middle of the cups. Would probably work better for a tshirt bra.

@tamsinrussell9289 3 года назад

'pea ko' is how its pronounced - it's french so a silent 't' , a lot of lingerie terms seem to be french ... She did really well for first go, I remember a couple of failed attempts during my fashion school lingerie class. We had these industrial lingerie machines though which were a bit scary to use (clunky and noisy) such as the elasticator, the stretch overlocker and the bar tack. I found the pattern making book 'Bare Essentials: Bras - Construction and Pattern Drafting For Lingerie Design' by Jennifer Lynne Matthews-Fairbanks great for learning how to pattern draft your own bra from your exact measurements.There is a matching book in the series for undies too. 🙂

@Cassiterit3 3 года назад

The molded foam cups are really some of the only ways to make smooth t-shirt bras. Everything else has seams that end up being visible :/ But the foam liners are sold on their own, and fabric like tricot (thin but soft and very stretchy) is often used to cover them on the outside. Even though foam isn't environmentally friendly, if you use fold-over elastic on the sides of the cups, they end up very stable, and comfortable. Often, I see them sold as swimsuit liners, but they can definitely be used for bras!

oh my freaking god, i only opened the video and i'm already ridden with flashbacks when i struggled to sew a bra for my 70H bosom :DDDD this pattern and instructions seem so good tho! as for t-shirt bras, i believe the only way to have them invisible is if the bra's cups have no stitching. i have a perfect belorussian bra with a fitted cup made of very thin and soft foam, so it's lighter than a standard bra cup (the material is so thin and soft that it can be crunched up) but it gives me the invisible look or maybe you can try using the special foam for bras that is sold in sheets. you cut out pieces and sew them together with a zig-zag stitch without seam allowance. not sure which material can cover such a cup without darts or folds though

For molded cup bra patterns I'd recommend the mystic bra from orange lingerie. I've made it 3x so far! I'd definitely recommend using the resources on her blog for where to get the molded foam cups though, cause I'm pretty sure the ones I used weren't sturdy enough and had some issues. It's also a partial band which is a bit different of a construction technique from the black beauty bra so you can try a new technique! I've been sewing my own bras for years, and they've honestly become one of my favorite types of projects to do since they come together relatively quick and are super satisfying. 😊
