| marec | 3/19/09 | Wow, you did a great job on this set. They are beautiful and I can't see where there is no match. BTW, gravity has done the same thing to me-darn it. |

| Lauri Jean | 3/19/09 | Are you sure you didn't buy these at Victoria's Secret and then take a photo on your cutting board? haha Just kidding. Fabulous job! I just might have to try this. |

| Rhonda in Montreal | 3/19/09 | "I do have problems finding panties that fit..." What is it about RTW panties that don't work for you?? (I'm looking for what your patterns correct ;) ) |

| cindyann | 3/19/09 | Rhonda, I have a hard time finding panties that cover my backside. I guess you could say I got "bootie" and it keeps on getting bigger. :0 |

| Erica B. | 3/19/09 | I've always said that I would never make a bra, but yours is beautiful! It looks like high end french lingerie! |

| sewing for fun | 3/19/09 | Suggestion from an experienced bra sewer...If cups do not give enough uplift, then I suggest stabilizing lower cup -perhaps by doubling fabric with stretch going opposite direction, and then increasing upper cup volume a little (in center front quadrant- or using a slightly more stretchy upper cup fabric. That allows "the girls" to be held up higher. Feel free to send private messages if you want more help. Happy bra sewing! It usually takes me three tries to refine a new pattern perfectly unless VERY lucky! Your bra looks great! Suggested websites: http://www.bramakerssupply.com

| creative1 | 3/20/09 | Well, w/o the photo only guessing - not enough support for the girls. Ttry to shorten the straps and /or the back. Also is the good idea by sewing for fun to stabilize the cups, especially the lower portion. |

| arianamaniacs | 3/20/09 | Your bra turned out so nice! I want to make some bras too, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet! |

| cindyann | 3/20/09 | Thanks Creative1 and Sewing for Fun for your tips. It very well could be a support issue or perhaps an underwire that isn't the right size/shape. |

| Karen6790 | 3/20/09 | If this set hadn't been photographed on a cutting mat it would have looked like a catalog photo. Very professional looking results - I'm sure you'll tweak the fit as you go along, but I would never have guessed this was your first try. Beautiful. |
