The Final Bra Pattern

Using a Cup Less Bra

The initial sloper mold can be used to define the shape of a bra cup. However, it is also possible to change the shape of the bra cup after the mold is created.

A good way to verify that the volume of a bra cup is correct is to create a bra that has all the components less the actual bra cup pieces. This verifies that the body of the bra fits correctly. You can then create a bra cup from poster board as described in the previous video, and test it's fit.
