Wow! It looks great even if it doesn't quite fit right. What a clever idea to use the parts from an old bra for the straps.

The bra looks great on the dress form. I have one question ( I have this pattern too :) ), Did you use stretch fabric or a woven? I did not use this pattern because I was told, that I couldn't use it with a knit and that knits are easier to fit :) I'm making Elan 530 at the moment...

I used a woven as the pattern says, hence why I didn't like the fit.

You did a great job on this Lou. Looks very professional. Get it tweaked and you're in business.

I have used about 3 different Bra Patterns {not this one] and have found that I have needed to trim the top of the Bra back on all. I check this before applying the top elastic. I have also found that there is sometimes different widths between the hooks so it pays to check.

Congratulations on your first hand sewn bra. I still havent tried mine :( I also like padded bras. Did you try to press the wrinkles out on a ham? That might help.

Very nice, especially for a first time. I've stayed away from bras thinking they would be difficult. I may try one now.

Hooray Lou on your first bra! It looks very RTW. I may give it another try.

Thanks for the great review. The bra looks very rtw. good job!

Deepika, the wrinkles are due to no breast filling the cup, rather then the fabric :-) if you see what I mean. Thanks for the comments!

Very professional workmanship, Lou. Bra making is fun! I understand how you feel about your bra though. I love looking at the ones I've made, but I have never worn them. How would you say this bra looks under clothing? Does is give a nice round shape? I have looked at this pattern and considered it.

Cindyann, I think if the fit was better it may be smooth under a tight T, but the wrinkles I get (because I don't fill it) would only be good under a sweater.

Wow Lou, it looks GREAT !! I am very motivated to get mine going now too !!

Wow! You did a fabulous job. I too was surprised that bra-making was so easy.
