Your skills will definitely give you a leg up in dress making :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455909792052564401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-25201206144196491132016-02-19T00:52:31.804-08:002016-02-19T00:52:31.804-08:00Hi Meg!

Rather than think of the bra size you currently wear in store bought bras, I would retake your measurements, including your under bust and full bust, and use those measurements to pick a size just as you would sewing up other patterns. Make bra has a very detailed page to guide you through it: http://www.makebra.com/measuring/<br /><br />Good luck!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455909792052564401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-17350501286547075082016-02-11T19:21:58.353-08:002016-02-11T19:21:58.353-08:00Thanks for the great comparison review.

I'm impressed by your organized approach and the amount of work you put into this.<br /><br />Here's my dumb question - would you happen to know how to convert a US size in the MakeBra? US size 38C would be what?<br />SewTypicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734309915613761051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-73597265480941279502016-02-10T15:28:29.581-08:002016-02-10T15:28:29.581-08:00There are soo many bits to buy!

Honestly I cheat by not making adjustable straps, using different materials, etc. I found my "bra foam" by something that looked like it might work as my local discount store.

I think it's all the bits you have to buy! I toiled the Watson ages ago but it wasn't quite right for me either - the MakeBra one here looks perfect. Now to try and source the foam...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
