Between house guests and not feeling well, it's been a little over a week since I've done any sewing. I feel a little lost in my room now, not knowing where to start or where to go.
But the other week, after making my Lucky in Love bralette, I wore it for a whole day. I declared it a success! At 3pm I needed to do a readjust/lift and separate but otherwise it felt comfortable and I hardly noticed it. Because of this, I decided to have a go at making one with powermesh for more support.
I also decided to use the Lucky Lingerie back and band, rather than the Lovesick parts because the Lucky sits lower and feels a bit more "bra" and a little less "crop top" (in my size at least).
It looked pretty nice and felt good when first on, but I spent all day adjusting it and catching straps from falling down my shoulders.
Back to the sewing table for this one.....
I'm going to compare it to the first model. I might need to tighten and reposition straps, as well as adjust back size/shaping. I think it also needs top stitching to sit better at the front. The powermesh is a bit stiff and tends to roll. But I'm glad I didn't do it on this one now that I need to unpick it and try again!
I'll keep you posted.
