Making a Fitting Sample for the Cashmerette Willowdale Bra, demonstrated by Porcelynne

[@charlotteanderson3727]

So many really helpful tips - thank you very much (P.S. what a super mom you are to give your daughter "her sewing room").

[@Porcelynne]

Thanks. I wish she used her sewing room more. Mostly is just collects stuff

[@amyjohoppins1087]

I love it! the thoughtfulness put into your construction! thank you!!

[@Porcelynne]

You are very welcome.

[@bdll5129]

Very informative, thank you

[@Porcelynne]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daniellemurr-pinsker190]

I really appreciate this approach. It makes a lot of sense, and seems like it will make fitting more efficient. It seems like this method of fitting could work for other bra patterns as well.

[@Porcelynne]

Absolutely. It can work for any bra pattern fitting.

I love that even though this is a fitting toile no one will ever wear you took the time to make sure the lace was pretty on both cups. This video was super helpful, I feel more confident starting my willowdale.

[@Porcelynne]

Its always better to practice for the final bra, so you know what to do when you make your final bra.

[@iredlougher4123]

Very beautiful.

[@Porcelynne]

Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much for this Jennifer! It was so helpful and detailed especially re the tip on the bridge width which I have always wondered about.

[@Porcelynne]

I'm glad you found this helpful!

[@J-UK62]

Brilliant thank you.

[@Porcelynne]

You are very welcome.

To help control slippery fabrics when cutting, I print/trace my pattern onto freezer paper and iron them to the fabric then cut. They can be re-ironed to the lining fabric and they will stick pretty well the second go around.

[@Porcelynne]

That's a great tip. I'll definitely have to try that.

Oof, I'm so glad I watched this. I never realized if there wasn't space between the breasts that I'd need demi wires. Thanks for that!

[@Porcelynne]

Wires shouldn't sit on the breast. Some people with very close set breasts, will overlap the wires at the bridge, so it is very narrow, but some people need a lower cut wire to achieve the wires not sitting on breast tissue.

[@barbf8628]

Wait, did you sew the band without the lining? Won't that change the fit due to stretch? Maybe I missed something.

[@Porcelynne]

I sewed the band with the lining. I just glued them together since it wasn't a final bra.

[@barbf8628]

Ooohhh. I missed where you did that. Ok.

[@Porcelynne]

@@barbf8628 It was a log video, so it would be easy to miss.

[@amyjohoppins1087]

I could reach the slider if it were in front. I could connect my bra with less of a challenge if I could do that in the front of my body.

[@Porcelynne]

There are different hacks to move the slide to the front, but this pattern was not designed that way. I am not the designer of the pattern, I only partnered with them. There are not many front closing bras unless they are demi cut. Annie and Myras has a front closure bra you might want to check out. Their Vivian Bra is a front closure. www.annieandmyras.com.au/shop
