![]() This bra has excellent boob separation for a wireless bra, which I appreciate not having a uni-boob look. But I conquered all of that with one alteration: I ended up doing was taking a curved wedge from the side of the upper and outer lower cup, like this: The power bar/side panel wasn’t sitting on my breast at all, so it wasn’t doing its job of pushing me forward. The apex was in the perfect spot, but the band was a bit too big and the cups were too wide. Having heard from others with similar shaped breasts that the Ingrid runs a tad small in the cup, I made a toile in the 5.5″ BCD size with no changes – fully expecting to need to make changes after making my toile.īut when I tried it on, I didn’t need a lot of changes! My BCD lives somewhere between 5″, while wearing my well-fitting Porcelynne Eve bra, to 5.5″, when naked and leaning forward. The style lines of the Ingrid reminded me a lot of the my trusty (but not super well-fitting) Panache non-wired sports bras, so when Gigi’s Bra Supply hosted an Ingrid sew along and gifted me the Ingrid pattern (with no obligation), I jumped at the opportunity to join! ![]() (Not sure what bottom cup depth means? Check out the Sew Busty Guide to Bra Measurements here!) The Ingrid is a wireless bra, and it is exceptionally size inclusive in the cups, going up to a 9″ bottom cup depth – much higher than most bra patterns (though not as high as I’d like to see patterns go!). And bra patterns are no exception.Īre you an average-to-slightly shallow projection, average-to-slightly wide rooted boobalicious person? Then PUG patterns are likely perfect for you, because that’s exactly the shape they’re designed for, in my experience.īut for me and my very projected, narrow-rooted boobs, I usually have to add projection and remove width on the wireline to make these patterns work for me. They have to be, unless they are custom drafted. Patterns, in general, are just drafted for a specific type of body. It’s not the patterns’ fault, or the designer’s. And it taught me that I can, in fact, put these 30J boobies into a bralette.īut, having made the Sweet 16 and the Classic, I also know that I end up needing a lot of alterations to these patterns for them to fit me, as they aren’t drafted for my narrow-rooted, very projected shape. It taught me so much, not only about bra making, but also about my own body and myself in general. On one hand, I love them, because the PUG Sweet 16 Bralette pattern was my first ever bra, so it holds a very special place in my heart. Let me tell you a secret: I have a complicated relationship with Pin Up Girls patterns.
