Place the right bra cup right-side up


Lean forward at the waist and pull the bra away from your breasts by the straps so that your breasts fall naturally into the cups. The band should fit snugly but not dig into your flesh. If it's too tight, go to the looser hook or try a larger size. If the bra doesn't feel comfortably lingeries snug or it feels like your breasts might fall out below, tighten the hooks or go to a smaller band size.
Open the kit and find four pieces -- two lower and upper cups that create two halves that will be sewn together to make two cups. Position the upper and lower cup pieces together.

Place the tailor's ham on a flat surface or ironing board. With an iron and the cups positioned how they'll be stitched, place the cups over the ham. In a back-and-forth motion, go over the cups, pressing down firmly to establish their form.

Use pins along the two cup halves seam and at the notch to hold the cups together. Make a top stitch. Place the cup on the throat plate and stitch the cups together. Check stitch and reposition as needed to ensure a good stitch. Set the cups aside.

Find the elastic pieces. You will have two pieces of elastic for each side of your bra band.The elastic will be shorter than the band. Slightly overlap the elastic over the band and use tailor pins to pin together one band with one piece of elastic. Continue to pin and stretch until you have stretched the elastic to the size of the band. Repeat with the next piece of band and elastic.

Place the band on the throat plate and make your first line of stitching in a narrow zigzag pattern along the area where the elastic overlaps the band.

Place the right bra cup right-side up. Stretch the bra band and the left portion of the bra out of the way. Align the cup stitching to the stitching on the channeling. Use tailor pins to hold the channeling throughout the center front seam, side seam and lower cup. Leave 1/3 inch of channeling loose at each end. Place the cup on the throat plate, draw the needle to the inside edge of the channeling. Check stitch by lightly pulling the channeling to make sure the stitch is tight. Repeat with the left bra cup.MORE:cheap sexy lingerie
