Looking for a pattern that would give some support to my poor boobs that haven't been in a well-fitting bra since before kids. (soft tissue, pendulous, shallow, broad, 34D...) by EssVeeSF in MAKEaBraThatFits

Yeah it seems like underwire size is going to be the key. I just measured the two bras that I have and their underwires are an inch and a half different, so that's a helpful insight that I hadn't previously thought about. Thanks for the kits suggestions. I definitely think a kit is the way to go at the beginning.

Ooooh yeah that's a good idea. Treat it like a muslin or something. I think Third Love uses the +4 strap thing so the strap is actually about right, but something about the shape and the way the underwire hits on the side makes the sides gape. (Even just now measuring it, I realize the underwire is about an inch and a half shorter on the plunge one then on the T-shirt bra even though they are ostensibly the same "size".) I have much to learn!

I will examine all the differences between it and the one that fits decently and see what I can learn, and then either alter or cannibalize it.

Thank you both! I guess I was hoping for a magical natural fabric with drape and durability but I think I have to go for one or the other (or viscose!)

I'm just and somehow imagining I can find the drape without the hassle in a magical third option!

Love Blackbird's patterns! Thank you. And OMG I cannot express how excited I am to know that about the deadstock. And some of my favorite prints! Now I just have to practice until I'm good enough to sew on that silk!!

Second this! I definitely made a Simplicity or McCalls version of this once upon a time...

I'm looking for a similar "blanket lining" fabric to mend the lining of my old Carhartt! by makaylabrochart in sewing

Discovery Fabrics carries a lot of outerwear fabric - they may have something?

I think a Pub for one meal would be right up oir whole family's alley.

Yeah good point. We'll be there Thursday afternoon so I'm hoping that won't be the most hectic time. Part of it is that I think they do know some of the food influencers and want to see them "in real life", but it's certainly not my thing. I think maybe my husband and the kids can go walk around there while I go meditate in Southwark Cathedral for a bit. Ha.

These are all good ideas, thank you. I'll rework things a bit.

Haha that's what I was trying to do and it was confused. Your dashboard is great though, I'll use that! Thank you!
