  • #BRAugust2018 Day 30: Pastel/Fluorescent @bodils_wear @tailormadeshop Team pastel for me. I love light tints with a pop of colour. Fluorescent? Maybe one day. #bragust @makebraofficial #makebradl01
  • #BRAugust2018 - Hindsight. Early in the bra making game, I did not fully understand the complexities of underwires. Finding the coŕrect wire, not only the size but the shape as well,  is an important first step....oops a step I skipped right over. It's worth the time and money to purchase several different wires at the onset. #mayabra WIP #braugust @clothhabit @tailormadeshop #emeralderin #bravobellabras
