I have decided to make my own nursing bra!

Abz1982 · Jul 8th, 2009, 20:14 PM

I cant find anything that fits right in my size - whcih appears to be a 38 L! So, my friend and I were looking round some shops and we found a bra that fits me cup wise, so now we just need to change the back to fit, and buy a kit online that means you can convert it to a nursing bra.

I'm a 36HHH usually but none of my bras fit now and I can't find a decent nursing bra that offers enough support, so I've decided to design some for ladies with larger bbs. If I manage to work it out I'll send you a pm to let you know and I'll send you one to try out xx

thats a brill idea. I can never find any that fit me, for some reason they all start at a 32 and I'm a 30FF. Let us know if it works ok

i made my own nursing bra aswell, just tried to buy ones that had removable straps cos its tons easier but u can buy little hook things that make it possible, theyre like a little hook and u make a loop on ur strap and u sew the hook onto the short part of the strap, then sew elastic inbetween the strap and the top of the cup...its really easy, i am making it sounds hard i know...im tired lol!

there is a tutorial on the internet somewhere, just type nursing bra tutorial into google and it will come up, it is so easy and does not need a special kit, so cheap aswell!
