I promised a quick update on this lovely cotton poplin bra. So here it is.

How did it come through the wash? Perfectly! It was a tad more wrinkly after washing than my duoplex or nylplex bras, but once it was dry I didn’t notice any wrinkles. Nor did I when I went to put it on.

And it’s so light, and of course being cotton it’s breathable. It’s lovely to wear. The cotton poplin gets my full approval. 

While I’m updating…

My two new beige bras were a smidge too big along the upper cup. I lost a couple of pounds and I guess it all came off there.

So my lovely new bras were bothering me with a small gape along the neckline.

Here’s what I did to fix that. I carefully cut along the side of the lace where it meets the power bar.

Then I overlapped the lace where the previous seam was.   There’s the smallest pucker there, but it will fit better. I can adjust my pattern for next time.

After I pinned it, I sewed that lace and sheer cup lining over the previous seam. 

Although I’m sure the zigzag stitch will hold everything, I did sew a straight stitch on the top at the edge so there was no gape where I’d cut the lace.

All that was left was to trim the threads. It was a great fix for a small problem.

Happy creating!
