I made these 6 bras over the week end. They range in cost from $10 - $14 and usually last me about 3 years. And they fit perfectly.
Mine would cost a lot more because I would need a lot of padding....LOL....Wish I could make good fitting bras! Love yours.

Those are so nice.....underwire? I realize they can be a challenge to make, but this is one challenge I need to take up! Any advice? I have a purchased bra that fits nicely but of course they don't make them anymore, don't really want to cut it apart either. Did you buy a pattern and modify it?

I need to learn how to keep the underwire from popping out of the store bought ones...any secrets you can reveal.

Should I sew up the edging before wearing them?
