After making a few more LilyPAD patterns I realized I had been using too large of a starting size, so I decided to come back to the Mysa and make a 5.7 BCD starting size instead of a 6.5 BCD. The only modification on this version to was to shorten the back to being a size 36, which is smaller than the sizes included with the pattern for the 5.7 BCD. This version fits much better and I think this is my new favorite lounge bra - I wear it a lot! I think if I were to make it again I would shorten the back band a bit more (maybe another 1/2") and I would also use a firmer power net in the cups as well as the band instead of using a lightweight to line the cups and a heavyweight in the band. Other than trying a new starting size the rest of my original review is still valid.
