Yes, you can make a nursing bra pattern from a regular bra pattern by cutting two layers of the upper and lower cup from similar weight scrap fabric. From one set you will cut away the center of the cup so there is essentially a "ring" of fabric at the outside edge, which will support the breast while nursing, since the strap assembly will hook to this. The outer layer is made as usual, except the normally attached area at the centre front connector will need to be left free to flip down.

There's nothing more unselfish a gift you can give than your time to make a mastectomy bra for someone you care about. Or it may be for yourself. You can make the bra to fit a store-bought prosthesis or you can make your own from layers of Fusible Padding F-995, begin by cutting two layers of the upper and lower cup from similar weight scrap fabric. Sew the cup seam together, then find the bust point (it's the area with the greatest curve at the middle of the cup).

The easiest way to do this is to use the wire conversion chart to determine what cup sizes are equivalent to the needed size. For example, you need a 38F, but the pattern only goes to 38DD. You need one size larger. Refer to the wire chart and you'll see that a 38F uses the same size wire as a 40DD - in other words, these two cups are virtually identical in size. Use the cups from a 40DD, but the band will need to be shortened to the length of the 38.

We do not sell a pattern to make slings. There are links to free internet patterns as well as patterns for sale at sew a sling.

Nursing bras should be purchased toward the end of your last trimester to insure the best possible fit. Most women prefer the adjustability of the three-step drop cup. Once accustomed to it, it's easy and convenient to use and assures a good fit for proper support and comfort as the breasts fill and empty during nursing. The drop-cup feature on nursing bras requires the use of some type of fastener to release the cup.

You'll need a pattern, some fabric, elastic for the band, elastic for the strap (if you like elastic straps) slider & rings to make the straps adjustable, hook & eye tape for the back and if you use wires, you'll need them and the channeling to hold them. Like any sewing project, there are other notions and gadgets that will make life easier, but that's the basic list.

It's called "Vanity Sizing" and it's a common practice in Women's RTW. Most women take Vanity sizing for granted when they buy pants and dresses, but are shocked to find it exists in bras, too! If I shop in one store, I can fit into size 10 pants, but when I shop in a different store, I'm taking a 12 or a 14. Usually the more expensive the store, the smaller size you can fit into, which means that the manufacturers are deliberately over sizing their clothing as a selling feature.

Proper fit is the most important factor to consider whether you prefer underwire or softcup styling. Underwire styles currently account for about one-half of all the maternity/nursing bra sales.

You begin by using 2 half circle patterns (HC-01) and cutting the circular part out of the square surround. Then take straight patterns (SP-01) and cut them into length-long strips and wrap them around the circle. Make sure to leave a consistent grout joint between stones as you continue around the circumference. As the circle increases in size strips may be increased in width from 1 to 2 stones wide or more.

The patterns are not designed to teach someone how to sew. You will need basic sewing skills to make these garments. Very few sewing/craft retail outlets carry the supplies or are even familiar with them. There is a list of mail order suppliers in the patterns. No. The silhouette in #113 is historically correct from only about 1900 to 1906. Even so the period descriptions of the “corset girdles” were that they were appropriate for “young, slight” figures.

No, we do not custom-make bras, we custom-fit bras. The majority of women are walking around wearing the wrong bra size. At Bra*Tenders, we use our special fitting technique (tape measure formulas do not work) to make all of our customers look beautiful in their new bras.

Your can make the payment for sampling charge for your invisible bra strap by PAYPAL or wire transfer when the amount of money is small. For bulk production of the invisible bra strap, you may make the payment for the invisible bra strap by wire transfer in advance or LC at sight.

In the factories, they use a breast-shaped mold to heat-set the fabric for bras, which is then inserted into the band. Unless you have one of these at home, you can't make a seamless bra just like at the store, but there are ways to simulate that seamless look. It involves using gathers and repositioning darts, which I can't go into here...

PMP can take a 3D model and produce a rapid prototype, which can then be developed and modified as required. Please refer to Solid Modelling, CAD & Prototype information.

My costumes do not work out cheaply. I have a basic minimum price for each garment, which is non-negotiable. However, please ask for a price for a specific garment. I do not make patterns for sale as every costume I make is made and fitted to order.
