Greetings my valued community of textile artists, may God envelop your life with his infinite love and allow you to have a week filled with many blessings. Welcome to your new handmade sewing content.

Pre-adolescence is a stage of life in which some young women (not all) feel confused and uncomfortable by the physical change of their body, no matter how normal they inform us that it is, it is inevitable, to want to hide something that is not same in us; or at least that was my case. Wearing a bra was very uncomfortable but showing that I was beginning to have breasts was even more so, especially when I went to school. I remember being a very shy girl hahaha, my grandmother liked to pamper me and she used to make this type of garment for me to wear below out of uniform and feel good.

Wearing underwear that provides comfort and peace of mind is what every lady wants, especially a pre-adolescent who is just beginning to experience the changes of this stage. This is how today's sewing proposal arises, a youthful piece of cotton fabric that plays the role of a bra, ideal for girls to wear under their daily shirts.

Making intimate garments is honestly not my specialty in this area, I think I defend myself more creating clothes for children, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I find myself making the best possible use of my leftover fabrics and I can only use small pieces.

I made this piece to my measure, although it has been a while, I love wearing these clothes to be at home, since the metallic bands of common bras cause me a little damage. And it is that this garment, for adult women, is special to support and adjust the breasts. Use cotton, willow and broad stretch fabrics. I invite you to come with me to see how I did it.

(PROCEDIMIENTO)

Paso 01

Step 01

Like any garment I usually make, I place a pattern of an old folded top on a color of fabric and cut the first front part. I use this piece to cut another piece that is the same but in a different color.

Paso 02

Step 02

From the same, I use the back of the pattern and cut out its shape. If you don't have a teen bra, you can just wear a sleeveless shirt top.

Paso 03

Step 03

We make the first seam to join the front pieces. Then we join the part of the shoulders. We cut a piece in the shape of both front parts and we sew it over it as a protector and a way to make this area thicker. Next we sew the sides.

Paso 04

Step 04

We hem all the edges of the arms and neck. Then we measure the lower part of the breasts and sew the elastic, gathering the fabric a little.

💞Resultado! 💞

I loved the result, making this piece sincerely brought to my mind many memories of this stage in my life, when I tried to do the first one and couldn't hahaha. As I mentioned before, I am not an expert in creating this type of clothing, I am happy with the end. With love I show you the photographs of the result.

In my country, apart from a bra, this garment is called "Cotillas", tell me what other name it is known by and what you thought of this project. Thank you for visiting my post today, I hope you like it. God bless you and until a next opportunity.
