    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.

    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.

    Very nice! I burnt my bra a long time ago but when I have to wear one I opt for the Hanes sleep bra. I don't have much to contain in one anyway.
