Hey, I'm excited. I just finished a bra for my 48J friend (3rd
version) and I think it turned out rather pretty! She's going to try
it on tomorrow. I had to rush to finish it, because she's going to be
on TV on Thursday and realized she wanted to have a better bra by then.
(Just told me this evening.) This was supposed to be another working
model, but I was having a nice time making it look good so I went ahead
and did a real finishing job. It's only yucky black tricot, but the
upper cup is black embroidered tulle. (Actually it's flocked, but the
pattern is leaves and vines.) I did the bottom cup with a fan of 4
vertical seams, semi-flat felled. Looks a bit Victorian there. Plus
there's a side shaper panel. The biggest deal is that I cut the
neckline ultra-plunge, which the previous versions didn't have. The
neckline looks a bit like this:

Oh yeah, I made shaped straps. She's African American, so I did a
brown ribbon down the center covered with the patterned tulle. With
the underwires I did a no-no. I took the 60 wires and stretched them
so the bottom of the curve was wider and flatter to match her anatomy.
Nipped the arms, smoothed with an emery board and dipped in Shoe Goo.
Hope they dry by tomorrow. (And I hope they don't break from the
stress.) Wish me luck with the fitting!
I'll post pics to the bra connection forum probably Saturday.

AAgh! Just tried the bra on 48J: It's off the hook SEXY! The shaping
is lovely and the decollete is breathtaking. And it fits her pretty
darned well! Upper cup could use just a little dart, but we're still
both happy with it and it's much better than anything she's got. She's
going to wear it on a local television show to promote the San Jose
Jazz Festival (she's a jazz singer with the Jack Conway Trio). I
pretty much guessed how long to make the back wings and she says the
band is perfect.
No time for pictures today, but definitely this weekend. I will admit
to feeling quite elated...
