How To Sew A Bra

<p>A corset and a bra are truly the hardest things to sew. After a jacket of course. The complication is that the underwear should fit perfectly, hide the things you don’t want to show, and show the things you don’t want to hide. That’s why hardly a tailor will take such a job, even skillful and experienced ones. It doesn’t seem to be difficult to sew a bra, but there are many tricky points. You can try copying your favorite bra and making a sewing pattern. However, the processing technology is much more difficult to do.</p> <p>First, you should decide what kind of bra you want to make. If you have the templates that you’re sure about, you can do the cutting and sewing right away. In case you have none, try to make the templates based on your favorite bra. As you can see, there’s no need in ripping your bra. Just lay out the piece as shown in the picture below, pin it in several spots and fix it along the contour.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/0I2YJ5NUn9jBGDw0fi_av9xzoyE=/03c6fc00c0d84e7a97158f8d693cb3e8"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/0I2YJ5NUn9jBGDw0fi_av9xzoyE=/03c6fc00c0d84e7a97158f8d693cb3e8" data-image="32185"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/l7_tAxATwIOgCcWn6Gs1W80sPhA=/ba7f1ae36b5247578ca991b6a950928b"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/l7_tAxATwIOgCcWn6Gs1W80sPhA=/ba7f1ae36b5247578ca991b6a950928b" data-image="32186"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4I49bnzk7LhMQqcnLLFtzVIkz_o=/3b095517bfcf4b90a8bf35b4fb4b78f0"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4I49bnzk7LhMQqcnLLFtzVIkz_o=/3b095517bfcf4b90a8bf35b4fb4b78f0" data-image="32188"></a></figure> <p>As for the cup, you need to make a seam to have the paper template more accurate.<br></p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/eVs2IDI3PR4Wnisy7R3z85GbjSU=/587840903ab94497a9ed11f1566611b0"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/eVs2IDI3PR4Wnisy7R3z85GbjSU=/587840903ab94497a9ed11f1566611b0" data-image="32190"></a></figure> <p>When you have the template, estimate the amount of material required. Buying the fabric make sure that it is of the same quality as the fabric of the original bra. It is important. Now you can do the cutting.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/-sgMx-zRVEBthJx7PJrY8fV7X38=/ee6d182a1acd4b88a7cb6e2b13e64566"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/-sgMx-zRVEBthJx7PJrY8fV7X38=/ee6d182a1acd4b88a7cb6e2b13e64566" data-image="32191"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/WYD5MROAp36pWkZ6fWMnA5BzkMs=/7f1f670d6b934499868dd3cedc750166"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/WYD5MROAp36pWkZ6fWMnA5BzkMs=/7f1f670d6b934499868dd3cedc750166" data-image="32192"></a></figure> <p>Make a cup first.
