Making perfect fitting lingerie

Not easy for some of us. If you have that ‘perfect’ teardrop shaped breast, you probably have few issues finding a bra.
But if you have a different breast shape, the fit issue is real.
Liesje: “After breastfeeding for a year, I experienced fit issues. My breast size increased and decreased after pregnancy and a year of breastfeeding. Old bras no longer fitted and a bra was not much fun to wear. Being an experienced patternmaker, I ventured into making my own bras. My enthusiasm grew, the idea of making and selling patterns came to life.
At age 12, I already knew that I wanted to do ‘something with clothes’. And yes, I did dress up my dolls but also cut off their hair and altered their body shape.
Life does not always lead you on the ‘right’ path, so I didn’t study fashion or anything related. Instead, I tried al lot of things, like assistant director for movies, sculptural design and ended up having a diploma in family sciences.
I learned to sew when I was about 18. My mom got me a sewing machine and I experimented so hard I ended up breaking the machine. In the years that followed I learned how to sew properly and took a few courses in pattern making. I loved it but it was really hard to find a job as a pattern drafter without commuting for more than 1,5h. So I started to freelance. That’s working really well and I still help designers with patterns and sourcing the right stuff for their collections.
Now I want to share my passion with you by making patterns you can use to make your own best fitting lingerie.”

The pattern and directions are complete. I would say don’t bother buying a “ebook” on how to make your own bra… rather buy the mesange and the pattern instructions and options are included. Wonder full product and great people.
