I am starting to work on creating my own TNT bra pattern, by, perhaps insanely, trying to somehow Frankenpattern the bra cups for a bra that otherwise sort of fits me. (I have never had a constructed bra that fit me well, as my cup size is not proportional to my underwire size; breast is larger than attachment point to chest wall, so wires that match my cup size are far too large and poke most painfully into my underarm) I fully expect to spend months on this project of pattern development, but that will mean in the end that I can have "pretty" bras in addition to the very utilitarian "sport-bra" style that I have been making and wearing for the last twenty years greentigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606763389271987691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-15427898132050361412013-07-15T19:02:59.756-04:002013-07-15T19:02:59.756-04:00The support issue is big.

I don't believe they have an online system though you can call to order. I think there are other options that work better under the circumstances...K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-16404839772493537102013-07-15T19:01:04.297-04:002013-07-15T19:01:04.297-04:00Lara: Where were you when I was in grade 7?! :-) T...Lara: Where were you when I was in grade 7?! :-) Thanks for keeping some excitement for the jacket.

All my attempts have ended up in bras that didn't provide enough support. Some of them just didn't fit at all, but some of them seemed to fit pretty well but the fabric or support system just wasn't up to the task at hand. <br /><br />Years ago I bought supplies from Needle Nook Fabrics in Wichita, KS - I don't see an online shop. It was pretty basic stuff and may not have what you are looking for.<br /><br />Lois KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-30190115371873594812013-07-15T11:29:22.123-04:002013-07-15T11:29:22.123-04:00As a grade 7 Math teacher, I heartily endorse your...As a grade 7 Math teacher, I heartily endorse your 'Fuck Math' statement. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your boucle jacket!!!LaraGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165353418854217508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-31894073401437609102013-07-15T10:10:07.259-04:002013-07-15T10:10:07.259-04:00I'm on the edge of my chair waiting for the ne...I'm on the edge of my chair waiting for the next installment in the bra construction.
