Last weekend I added yet another addition to my Dark Paradise Collection, the lace bralet pictured above. I was inspired by a photo I found on Pinterest and decided my mini collection could use another lacey little number. For this bralet I was torn between adding an underwire or leaving it as a soft cup bra. The only reason I didn't add an underwire was because I would have wanted to change the style lines which would have changed the finished look completely & with the other pieces in the collection being extremely simple I thought it was best to keep this collection consistent & leave the underwire out.
This style bralet I will only be offering sizes XXS - L. I haven't actually fit an XL bralet on anyone just yet so I definitely don't want to list any XL bralets until I know they will fit properly and offer some kind of support. I do all my own pattern making, grading, sampling & everything in between so with that being said it takes time for me to create something, fit it, make changes and finally grade it. I've been asked quite a bit about offering plus sizes for my line and I just want to say I definitely would love to offer plus sizes in the future. Whenever I plan to offer plus sizes I would have to do extensive research about sizing, measurements, support and most importantly my potential customer. I would have to put myself in my customer's shoes and make sure my garments support/ fit her every need making sure she is extremely comfortable in her own skin.
Lastly, I just want to thank anyone who actually takes the time to read my blog. I really really appreciate it!! I will try to post more behind the scenes, work in progress photos & hopefully post some videos. Thanks again for reading!!
