I've never tried the bra making, but do better at briefs/panties. The bras are harder to make.
Nice work, they look factory assembled.

I too took a course to make bras and corsets... my problem is where do I purchase the materials. Places like Hancocks and JoAnn's do not have the materials needed to construct a bra

Here is a link I found that takes you right to the site mentioned. It does look like a couple of workshops are scheduled for any of you lucky enough to be in the right area.

Take a short tight zig-zag at the end of the underwire point.

Thank you...I'lll definitely do that. It will help to lengthen the life of them. Those darn underwires have killed a couple of brand new ones lately.
