Trying the New London Master Class

When I heard Beverly Johnson had a new class, I wanted to take it. The London Master Class. It covers a lot of features and includes a pattern exclusively available as part of the class.

There are over four hours of video instruction. You can see here the different design features demonstrated in the class.  

I really wanted to try the class, and pattern, but sometimes being an Omega shape I don’t really want to try a new pattern. Fortunately a close friend wears the same size I wear, but she doesn’t need any alterations at all. So I made up one without any changes and gifted it to her.

Here is the London I made from the class.As pretty as this bra kit is I’m sure you want to hear about the bra, so I’ll tell you more about the kit below.

Okay. I have to tell you, the London bra gives some really good lift. I was impressed with that. From my first trying it on, it fit quite well.   All of the pattern sizes are included in the London class.

So, do I recommend the class? Yes I do. I still think in-person fitting and instruction is the best, but if you want a class you can revisit again and again, this is great. There are a lot of techniques demonstrated in the class that are great to know.

Will I be making more London bras for myself? No. I prefer a lace upper cup like Margareta, Shelley, or Freja.

Now for the bra kit. I used a beautiful kit from B,wear.

Although I prefer a lace upper cup, this is still a lovely kit. The satin is so soft and was lovely to sew. My friend was thrilled with how soft the bra was, and how pretty it was. The kit comes with dark cherry findings, which go so well with this satin. 

When I was writing this post, the lovely Noa kit was still available. You can find it here.  

Happy creating!

  1. I bought this class when it was first available (actually before it was available, but that was a snafu on her site). It originally came with three cup and five band sizes. In response to feedback, it now contains all sizes. I don’t understand your statement that she has changed her sizing because she hasn’t. Not for quite a few years. It is based on BCD, just as every pattern has been since 2019.

    I am very impressed with the fit and lift of this pattern. My favourites up until now have been the Freja and Shelley, but I can see this pattern changing that. It is very versatile and can easily be adapted to have a lace upper cup. Since you’ve purchased it, why don’t you give it a shot with your omega adjustments and try it out?

    1. Hi Sandy, Beverly told me to check the size chart because the sizes had changed and not to use the original BCD sizes. I made size smaller in this pattern than in the Freja. Yes, the lift is impressive and I can play with it to adapt it. And I can’t say I won’t try it again really. I have a list of patterns I want to work on this year, so it might be down the list now. 🙂

        1. That is odd, Sandy. I made 1 size smaller and it fit well. I would still need to make some Omega adjustments. I did check back to my conversation with Beverly, and she did say to go down one size.
