     Here are links to articles I wrote on sewing underwired bras.  This is a process that can be done with EVERY bra pattern out there and is a great way to minimize using up supplies on something that doesn't fit. Click the images 👇below👇 for the individual articles.

The Eve Classic Modular Bra Pattern

     I offer a texting service to help you fit bra patterns, now that I have the experience of having helped hundreds of women fit their patterns.  There was little to no information on the internet that was useful when I started my journey, and even though we've come a long way in the last 10 years, it's almost the opposite problem... there's almost so much info, it's hard to know where to start. I have helped with many different patterns as well - not just the Eve Pattern, so PLEASE don't struggle alone, like I did.  

Bra Texting 1:1 Support

     When fellow Bra-Maker, Lindsie Rank, started the Sew Busty Blog, I was very honored to write the series of articles above for the Busty Community that sew to accommodate their clothing needs.  It is EXACTLY the reason I do alterations on ready-to-wear clothing for a living, it is just another way of accomplishing the goal.  Lindsie has the most amazing spreadsheet set up of designers that design clothing shapes for busty folks.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you've found something useful, as my whole goal is that others won't struggle as much as I did when there was a severe lack of info on the internet!

Topic in this post: #FoundationalGarments

Kristen sews because clothes don't come shaped like humans and people often think their bodies are the problem, which is a problem.
