Our Bra Kits take the guesswork out of bra building by putting together everything you'll need to make a beautiful bra using your own pattern. If you need a pattern, we have a great selection on our Patterns Page, both paper and downloadable.
Our good friend Nikki From Bra Talk told us her favorite bra to wear every day was made all out of Bra Tulle, with Power Net in the band. She even makes the frame out of tulle for a gentle support and a cool feeling in her hot Georgia climate. I thought this sounded like an amazing idea, and that we should have a kit :). This Easy Breezy kit comes with a full half yard of our light and soft bra tulle for the cups and frame and a kit cut of Regular Powernet for the band. If you want to strengthen the support, add a kit cut of Sheer Cup Lining to add some structure. Nikki used foldover elastic at the top of the cups in this darling Black Beauty bra, so leave me a note if you want me to change out the picot elastic for foldover in your kit.
There are two supportive power net options to choose with your Easy Breezy bra kit. Use our medium weight power net for 75% stretch, great comfort, and very good support. Use our 50% stretch firm weight power net for even more support. If you are after the lightest support, leave a note and I’ll exchange the Powernet for Stretch Mesh. For many sizes, you have enough fabric to make 2 bras. To get the most out of your supplies, order a bra finishing kit in the same or a complimentary color to get a second bra out of your kit.
This kit contains:
- Half yard of bra tulle fabric in your color
- 14.5” x 28” Power net (choose regular or firm weight)
- 1 1/2 yards of 3/8" upper band elastic
- 1 1/4 yards of 5/8" lower band elastic
- 1 yard of Channeling
- 3 hooks and eyes
- Twill tape for seam stabilization (if requested)
- Strap elastic (with rings and slides for strap styles) and/or strap interfacing
- Underwires
Shown is our Fall 2021 Seasonal color Burnished Copper
Sewing Notes:
I like using spray adhesive on the pattern pieces to help me cut this floaty fabric accurately. If you use it, the stabilized cup lining is very stable and easy to sew. It sews similar to a woven fabric, and behaves very nicely.
