Wonderful: finally a bra review that applies to my size range! Can you post more info on this brand and the source? Maybe a website review? Or can you e-mail me through here?

That is a beautiful bra. Was there any fitting problems with your first bra and how did you solve them?

WOW! And just think, I could buy a whole TOL sewing room with what I've wasted on bras over the years. Seriously, that's a great looking bra, and I'm very much impressed.

Wow! More info on where to get this brand!! Your bra is beautiful.

Beautiful bra and gorgeous job with the sewing, fitting (apparently!), and dying. Makes me want to give it a try if I can just work in another project in my schedule! Thanks for the review.

WOW, what a great job! I've never considered making my bras, but you're winning me over. It would be especially good for me, since I am a D on one side and a DD+ on the other side, so I never, ever can get a bra to really fit! Where did you find the tricot material? I can't find it anywhere.

What a beautiful bra. I spent 1 1/2 hrs trying many, many bras at Victoria Secret recently and came home with one bra for $40 that I am not happy with and will return. I have made one bra, (KS) but it needs fine tuning in the fitting. Thank you for this review. I may just have to try again.

Hi ladies, a bit more info. I got my fabric from Anne too. Nothing locally here so I ordered some, bought some in person when I visited a daughter in July and purchased again at ASG. She does very fast mail order and her phone consults usually give me a real good idea of what I'm getting. I ordered this purple "blind" but then I love purple. My earlier two bras fit fine. On bra one I discovered due to my shape I needed a smaller upper cup, but that bra is wearable. Also, since it was my first try the sewing just wasn't quite as neat. I also made it on a machine that was borrowed which never works as well for me as the one I know so well. Bra 2 is black which never photographs well so I didn't put it here, it fits as good as this one. Loretta

Your bra is beautiful.

What a gorgeous bra!! Do the patterns run true to size? I am realizing that manufacturers all have different sizing. Yipes! Thanks for the informative review.

What does this pattern cost? Does she have a website? If so I couldn't find it thru Google. Do you know how this pattern compares to Elan? Thanks.

Anne has a very small website, but she doesn't sell her pattern there yet. You need to email her or call her. You can email Ndlnookfab@aol.com or call 316-684-5989. The cost is $10.00. I can't compare it to Elan, I have never made an Elan pattern. I think one of the things that makes this bra unique is the size range.

Very nice! Thank you for the Needle Nook info, I've been searching the web as well with no luck.

Wow! So you're saying that with a little practice (3 bras) I could MAKE a brassiere that fits in less time than it takes to try to BUY one! =) Thank you!!
