The lowdown on making your own DIY bra
Are you tired of purchasing pricey bras that just don’t fit right? Looking for a budget-friendly alternative? Fear not, because making your own DIY bra is easier than you might think. This guide will walk you through the steps of making a bra out of a cup, for a comfortable fit that won’t break the bank.
Step 1: Choosing the right cup
The first step in making your own DIY bra is finding the right cup. Look for cups that are made of a soft, flexible material, such as foam or silicone. These materials will be more comfortable against your skin than harder materials like plastic. You can purchase cups or find them from an old bra that you no longer use.
Step 2: Getting the right measurements
Measuring yourself is key to making a DIY bra that fits properly. Measure around your rib cage just below your bust, then measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your ribcage measurement from your bust measurement to determine your cup size.
Step 3: Creating the bra strap
For the bra strap, use a flexible ribbon, elastic or even a shoelace. Cut two lengths of the chosen material, long enough to cross over your back and tie behind your neck. Attach one end of each length to the inside of the cup, securing it with glue. Leave a few inches of ribbon hanging down for tying later.
Step 4: Attaching the cups
To attach the cups, put a little glue on the bottom side of each cup and press them onto the inside of your clothing. Hold them in place until the glue has dried. Depending on the fit you prefer, you can attach the cups closer together or further apart on your garment.
Your DIY bra is complete!
Making your own bra can save you money and give you a comfortable, perfect fit. With this guide, you now have the tools to make a bra out of a cup using inexpensive and easily obtainable materials. So go ahead and show off your new DIY creation with pride!
