Making any bra with lace makes it not so basic. Don’t you agree? However, this bra is all white, so basic seemed like a good title.

This isn’t so basic.

For this pattern I was playing with working on my pattern and adjusting for the Omega shape.

For this bra, I used the bottom of the pattern pieces that actually fit into the cradle. Then adjusted larger for my actual cup size.

It was a fun experiment. But did it work. No it didn’t. I need all the fullness of the cup size I’m in.

But as I said, I did enjoy it. I’ve wondered about this for a long time – if it would produce a neater fit and look.    It definitely produced a neater look and fit. However, I really need the fullness throughout the bra cup.

So as pretty as this is for a basic white bra with lace, it was ultimately a failed experiment.

It was still fun to try, and to learn why this way isn’t recommended.

   It’ll be back to basics after this – what I know works.

Happy creating!
