Your price break down is very helpful. I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy now and it's very overwhelming, especially since I don't want to go overboard with cost.<br />I'm looking forward to reading all of your posts about bra making. I need all the insight I can get. :) Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755708822125028230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-58332937012708944352013-03-31T15:30:46.844-04:002013-03-31T15:30:46.844-04:00KMG: I want a different cup shape as well (vs the ...KMG: I want a different cup shape as well (vs the queen bra elite)...I took the QBE cup pattern - because it fits perfectly - and used the cloth habit blog post about the vertical seam hack....I have the cutest balconette bra (& pattern!) now!

They are very reasonable priced and my orders arrive in a very timely manner. Luckily taking the Anne St Clair workshop steered me in the right direction. I wouldn't have had any clue about what size wire to start with. Do your research be for ordering any wires. Also you won't need more than a dozen wires. As you wear the bras out be sure to salvage your wires.knitmachinequeen (KMQ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06905640436931172793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-40409656437803727752013-03-25T23:28:05.896-04:002013-03-25T23:28:05.896-04:00It is wonderful that you can make bras that fit an...It is wonderful that you can make bras that fit and make the matching sets.
