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.”

What customers say

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.

This pattern is fantastic! I can’t wait to make more. There are so many options to be super creative. The instructions are very clear and the sizing seems great. Very easy and quick to make! Definitely on my make again list! (It doesn’t dip so far down, it was just the elastic folding in)
