A Sweet Sixteen in Power Net

A few years ago I made a Sweet 16 bralette in power net and I really loved that bralette. You can read about the changes I made here

I have really loved this bralette, and have worn it out. It’s time for me to make another one.

I’m going to make not only the same style, but I still have enough of this power net that I can make this whole bralette again. You know a bralette is a hit when you make it again.

This is a heavier power net I bought from B,wear, so I found it supportive enough. And I have a couple of other similar weight power nets, so plan to make a few. But one at a time. This one isn’t available at B,wear now, but here is where you can find them.

Before I remake this one though, I just can’t resist using one of the other lovely power nets I have. For my first one I’m using a lovely black power net with bright little flowers on it. Doesn’t this look great? It makes a comfortable lightly supportive bralette.

The cup seam is looking wrinkly on the dress form, but not on me. Whew.

Lastly, it has a nice wide back. I do think this is the updated Sweet 16 that I made because the cups have more definition at the center front. I actually preferred the first shape a little more once I started wearing these. 

  Here is the altered one I made back in 2022.

I think I’ll relook at my pattern but in the meantime I have a new workout bralette to wear.

Happy creating!
