Thin, a little slippery? I'm finding it very hard to track down for my own sewing. Should I just look for lightweight rayon dress/blouse fabric?<br /><br />The internet was so adamant that I was wearing the wrong bra size that I bought a 34DD online. It came today, and I'm pretty happy with it - 36 was <i>definitely</i> the wrong band size, why do so many instructions for measuring say to add 4 inches to your underbust measurement? Because it was from a larger-sizes store, it's that old-lady/vintage "full coverage" style. On the one hand, this won't work with probably most of my dresses. On the other, it's much more flattering, with more lift, I think.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chocolatepot&ditemid=855600" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://chocolatepot.dreamwidth.org/855600.html sewing bras public 3
