Pattern Description: From Kwik Sew: The Misses' Bras are designed for lace, tricot and power net.

The underwire bra has a back from power net, edges finished with elastic, and shoulder straps from tricot. The View A cups are made from lace and tricot, and the View B cups are made from tricot.

Pattern Sizing: I made a 32C. I made a 32C in KS 2101 and KS 1017, so I figured it would fit. This bra feels nearly identical to 2101 when worn.

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? Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that the lace view on this bra uses lace that is slightly less wide than 2101. I also like that the seam is a little more slanted than 2101. I'm honestly not sure which I prefer, but I like to have options!

Fabric Used: Tricot and lace from Needle Nook Fabrics in Wichita. The lace was underlined with chiffon.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None...except on the next one, I do need to remember to move the back straps towards center back about 3/4" from the marking. On both this and KS 2101, I need to make this adjustment as the straps have a tendency to slip off my shoulders if I put them where marked.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Absolutely and absolutely.

Conclusion: This is a great bra pattern. If you want to see more construction details - see my review for KS 2101. I used similar techniques on both bras.

Very nice - I've been looking for a bra pattern to try and may have to give this one a go.

Ever since the OPML and treefrog's bevy of bras, I've had my eyes on bra making. This looks like a good pattern. Yours came out lovely.

OMGoodness, I've never made a duplicate comment before and always wondered how people managed it. I'm not sure what happened. Well, it's still a lovely bra and I'm going to seek out this pattern.

Gorgeous bra! That is something I will get around to someday. I too am in awe of you bra makers and look forward to the time when I have the time and patience to try making my own.
