You've been putting out sooo much useful content Liz. I appreciate it so much. I hope that one day I will be as skilled as you and I will share my knowledge as graciously as you to the next generation. Keep being awesome :)
This is very useful information If i may ask, is it possible for you to make a tutorial on the construction of a bra pattern without already made patterns? If you can, please do Just like the panty pattern tutorial which you did, i love drafting my own patterns, to me this just makes my work a lot easier
Nipple or areola isn't a bad word.. its not even a sexual word. Just parts of our anatomy. This video helped me a ton with making crochet cups! Thanks!!
This was so helpful. The last time I was measured I measured at a 42k bra size. Of course nothing fit and Lane Bryant just got my size. Unfortunately, I like designs and lingerie so finding something cute or sexy in my cup size is near to impossible. So, I’ve decided to design my own bras and clothes. I don’t sew and I usually only sew my pants when they tear in the inner thigh area. 🤷🏾♀️ This will help me a lot because it gives me a better idea on how to measure the bra. Thank you so much. You have helped a lot.
Honestly, I thought this was gonna be like your "DIY panties from measurements" video. Do you have a DIY video for bra making from measurements (not an already made pattern)? That's what I'm looking for.
That was very useful, thanks. Although, if I had (ever had) a well-fitting bra I wouldn't be here. I've been tempted to try 18th century short stays; they're supposedly very comfortable and supportive.
I just ordered The Shelly Bra and learned the BCD way. I didn’t know about the chest height measurement! I look forward to all your videos! Is the a sew a long bra that you’ve done that’s similar to the Shelly bra? I would live to watch it before I start my bra! Have a great day!
Have you ever tried to make your own hook and eye closure? I like the idea that you could make one to match the rest of your garment. Orange has a pattern but I haven't tried it.
I recently had to measure Nip span. Nip to niip. I thought that was an interesting new number to know. I think it was the Forme bralette or the new Lilypad designs. Not sure. I kinda find it fascinating to see how the designers use such different numbers.
I’m pretty sure that’s for the forme. I keep going back and forth with myself whether I should pick it up since I don’t really wear braletts that often .... you’ll have to let me know how it works out for you.
Firstly thank you for constantly teaching me new things and inspiring me to up my sewing game secondly have you already done a video(or even mentioned it in another vid) about how you measure for wire sizes?
But it's a natural body part! Areola?? That's the technical name for it. A great video on measurements Liz. So many people get confused about the BCM method, I think because it's not a widely used method at the moment.
@@LizSews That's wild! I've often wondered why the "b" word never gets a mention, despite all the bra content - for a long time I thought you were just far too ladylike to say it out loud! 😂 The threat of demonetization makes a lot more sense, particularly if a /dressform/ is considered offensive enough in a video about bra making... 🙄
Love your content! So useful and inspiring. I'm curious if you have a source for, comparing ones actual measurements to industry standards, and ready to wear? Started my first bra yesterday.
So glad to have you back! You seem to be such a natural born teacher and SO Many of us have benefited from it on our bra making journeys!

Great video! Thank you so much for this info, Liz! First time I hear about certain measurements you mentioned. Very useful.

Thankyou, Liz, for another really useful and helpful video.

Really interesting, thank you 🙂
Super useful! Thank you
Thank you it's very helpful
Excellent tutorial. Thank you! BanDana Gramma learned something!
Thanks for this! I had to take chest height for the Forme bralette from BraToBe too. I wondered if anyone else was using it.
YAY! First comment! Love your vids Liz!!

That is a measurement I use when drafting patterns for other clothing. It helps with correct placement of darts from CF.

Ok so what do we with these measurements?

🤷♀️ I don’t make the rules..... I’ve had issues in the past with my dress forms getting demonetized so I’d rather not push it

Where’s a good place to get patterns for free?
Do you measure the BCD wearing a bra or not?

You can say nipple.
