Hey I wondered if you could help me with making one of these “bralets”, do you know how to make a pettern for them? http://api.ning.com/files/zcwHPg1VgsLUzsS1e99DsdD4ZlRqQdct0bCSs9*1rseLJIAKirKx55a0ARHDEJCLVDBdi8fpp9Gn0zIw37Jm5Vb-jsk5K1bz/bralet.jpg

You may also be able to find a pattern from a fashion-forward pattern company like Vogue Patterns (Vogue Misses’ V8288 has a similar neckline http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8288-products-6711.php?page_id=943), or even use just the top of a corseted dress pattern for your bustier. Or a vintage corset pattern! Or you could buy a corseted dress/top from somewhere like Forever21 or H&M to use as your pattern base. Or even a real piece of corset lingerie from Frederick’s of Hollywood!
If you are interested in sewing your own lingerie (and making patterns for it), I’d highly recommend the book Sewing Lingerie That Fits (Karen Morris, 2001). It has some easy projects for beginners that you can also customize to create something as involved as this bralette.
Hope that helps and good luck!

🙂 LOL! Well, I can't weld, still haven't figured out how to solder, my crochet skills are minimal, and my homemade tempura stinks! 😛
Thanks for your sweet comment!

Hey 😀
I quite like your blog as it is so many-sided.
Are you interested in a link-exchange??

You are so awesome! I like your blog so much!
Hey 🙂
I was wondering do you have a tutorial on how to make a U plunge bralet or do you know where i could get a free pattern from?
What kind of material should I buy for a garment like this?
Hi Amanda! Choose a cotton-based material (for breathability) with a little bit of stretch (like Lycra or spandex) so it hugs your shape. Hope that helps!
