How to Make Custom-Fit Bras

Overview of the Process


1. Determine how the bra is to be shaped. A Bust Sling is illustrated here.	2. Create a mold of the Bra Sloper on the body.	3. Remove the three-dimensional mold from the body.


4. Trim the mold, then cut it into flat pattern pieces.	5. Create a test muslin sloper and adjust the fit as necessary.	6. On a reconstructed copy of the Bra Sloper cup, create the design for a bra.


7. Make a pattern for the new bra design and cut a test version in muslin.	8. Test the fit of the new design and adjust as necessary.	9. Sew the finished bra.
