Didn't fit
Bra Number Three. I opted to go with a lower horizontal cut yoga style bra this time. Maybe I should have called it a wireless demi or half cup bra? I used the same fabric as the #2 Tanktop style, “Telco Galaxy Stretch Velvet Knit Metallic Stars Silver Black” and I still have enough fabric left over to do a skirt if I wanted, or for a few more bra experiments, depending on my mood. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
The fabric is 90% Polyester & 10% Lycra Spandex Velvet. It is a lightweight knit base, with 50% stretch on the grain & 10% vertical stretch, and is machine washable.
Third try, and third “not as planned” results, haha. Like with my first one, I failed to compensate for my bust size fully, so the top on this one is too short for full or proper coverage of my breasts. As a result, it is compressive and cuts in on top, though it is still quite comfortable and I don’t fear flop out. If I’d made it 1.5-2” taller, I think it would have been better, so next time I will raise that for more coverage.
My goal with this one was to have a wireless bra that I could wear under normal tank tops, as my DE bras are too wide as it tapers up to the straps, which are also too wide for a standard tank top. In that aspect I succeeded, as I could wear this under a tank easily, but I just need to give myself a bit more upper coverage and/or space for a better fit. That being said, I will have no problem wearing this one around the house, but don’t think I’d venture outside it in just yet.
The material is very sturdy supportive and works beautifully for the bra purpose.
Though this one is tighter and lower, I’ve opted to label it as a 28KK, or 28:16 for consistency. Other brands do this, so hey, why not? Different style, different fit, right? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Since I was impatient, I didn’t wait for the longer spool arm to use the twin needle, so I stuck with the zigzag stitch again. I also added a looper loosely since if I tightened it down, my nips would have been hanging out on top saying hi. I can slip the looper fabric between my breasts to stop skin on skin rub and sweat though, so it does still serve the separation purpose as needed.Black Velvet Galaxy unlined colorway
