Pattern Description:
Underwire partial band bra
Pattern Sizing:
32/34/36 A-D, 38 b-DD

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Fantastic
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Shape of cups and all the good reviews!
Fabric Used:
Tricot, powernet, lace, elastic (plush)
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
1. Made bra straps using elastic not creating the fabric straps that they suggest
2. Used ready made underwire channelling

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Have tested it out and made some minor fit adjustments and am preparing to cut out the next bra.

7th Jan - edited to add link to Padded version .. and the 3rd version is now waiting to be cut!
Conclusion:
Lovely pattern, clear instructions, great comfortable bra.... FANTASTIC

Very nice. I have this pattern and plan on using it to make my first bra. Have been thinking about using wire channelling instead of making my own per the instructions. What changes in construction were needed to use the ready made channelling?

Kangafrog - no changes were needed to construction, as the pattern tells you to make and then apply the channelling. So by using a ready made channelling you are merely missing out a step, the channelling is attached in the same way for both (and the instructions are really good!)

Very pretty. Do you mind my asking what your bra size is? I'm a 34DD and wonder if something like this would work...I like the idea of using elastic for the straps.
