Recently I tried the new Made for Mermaids bralette, the Mama Brigette. I have not loved my store bought bralettes, but my hopes were not super high. When I first started sewing I tried a popular free bralette, and (due to my lack of skills mostly) it was not love.
I was pretty pumped with my muslin, so I went to show the hub. He’s a pretty big fan of boobs, especially mine. His reaction was a big old meh, and I was fairly crushed.
I also felt he was wrong, so I kept going, buying all of the lace, elastic, and power mesh to fuel my adventures.
This even gave my the confidence to tackle a “real bra”. I ordered the wrong size underwires so that is very much “in progress”. I ordered a kit which makes for a pricey toile, but I’m hoping for good things.
Until then I’m going to have quite a few riffs on the bralette, and they seem to be growing on my husband.
