Or is it measured from where you want the lower edge of your stays to hit? I ask, because a gore slit of 3" from the top is very nearly my entire underbust to midbust measurement (which is the CF length), and I don't think a roughly 1/4" difference will lend itself to much support.Emily Okitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301323202265935202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440011596489093932.post-91224791244575416122021-03-15T07:52:19.042-05:002021-03-15T07:52:19.042-05:00Hi.

Just a few questions, for the measurements does au natural work, most bras now days have push up insert bits. My girls so sit naturally farther apart then would be flattering in the undergarment. What does step 9 mean when drafting without a pattern to begin with? "Step 9 - To make your gussets, first draw a line that is equal in length to the length of your gusset lines on your front bodice pattern."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479601391735756781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440011596489093932.post-24202286703684313912015-04-07T14:36:52.779-05:002015-04-07T14:36:52.779-05:00Thank you so much for taking the time to share thi...Thank you so much for taking the time to share this tutorial!!
