Again, I had white on hand, so that’s what I used. If you look closely, you’ll see I didn’t have 3/8″ upper band elastic in black or grey. So rather than grey on the back, it’s white. I looked for a grey hook and eye set, but my stash seems to be very low on hooks and eyes. I did find the band a little big, so ended up taking the band in and re-attaching the straps. That’s something I can work on.Īnd the back. Well, it might fit more like one, but it doesn’t look so great here. Okay, I won’t say nothing moved, but I was impressed with the support once again.ĭo you see that weird part at the center front where it goes up? That’s my attempt to make a bit of a Gothic Arch. As well as supportive, it was also very comfortable.Īs I was walking around, thinking the bra was rather supportive, I tried jumping up and down a bit to see just how supportive it was. I’m rather impressed with the support it gives for not having a wire.Īs soon as I was done sewing Ingrid, I put her on. I did have all that previous experience, and my notes and labels to help me. The second time it went much more quickly, and came together much more easily.
This led me to do some labeling on the pattern pieces, and add some notes to the instructions. However, before I cut out those new cups, I took some time to double-check. I decided to start over with new cups rather than rip all the stitches out. It turned out I’d sewn one of the pieces on the wrong way, so check everything when you’re sewing this. It was time to stop and figure out where I went wrong. I had the cups together, but something didn’t look right. I had everything cut out and was starting to sew. If you’re not sure about the sizing, there’s also a handy chart showing some cup size equivalents for the different BCDs. If you want a more detailed explanation on BCD, you can read Beverly’s blog post on it here. If your rib cage is 34-inches, then you cut out a 34 band. So if your BCD is 4-inches, you cut out a 4 cup size. Then you measure your rib cage for your band measurement. For this one, you measure your Bottom Cup Depth (BCD) for your cup size. The pattern is a little bit different from previous Pin-up Girls patterns in how you measure for this bra. Ingrid is a non-wired bra pattern, with three front-closing options, as well as a comfort band option. Here’s Beverly’s new Pin-up Girls pattern. I already had that cut out even, but… I really wanted to test the new Pin-up Girls pattern! So I sent in my submission. You’ll see one next week – the Angie pattern. Well, at the time, I had two new patterns I wanted to try. Recently, Beverly Johnson put out a call for testers for a new pattern.
