However I haven't been able to find a good source of supplies here on the Sunshine Coast though so I might have to look elsewhere.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754321665361120173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-56871921593803701462009-05-29T06:12:52.846+10:002009-05-29T06:12:52.846+10:00They are very pretty even if they don't match.They are very pretty even if they don't match.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07987205501192805511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-2570086987111653602009-05-28T23:02:00.006+10:002009-05-28T23:02:00.006+10:00Very interesting, all this bra sewing going on.

Here is a link to their regular wires<br />http://www.bramakerssupply.com/site2009/cart/upload/regular_wires.pdf<br />here is a link to their page that gives links to wire info. Look in the left column under "information to download"<br />http://www.bramakerssupply.com/site2009/cart/shopdisplaycategories.asp<br />Wires are sized for B cups. There is some info in this link<br />http://www.bramakerssupply.com/blog/post/Better-Than-B.aspx<br />(I know you are not an A cup, but I forget where to find the full table of wire sizes...this post has good info in it even if you are not an A cup)<br />In Beverley's book, she explains how Australian sizes are different than other countries because we work in 2 cm increments not 2.5 cm increments. I think Stuart uses the Australian sizing...just something to be mindful of when ordering from different countries.<br /><br />Here I am giving all this info...however I admit I have only ever made 3 bras...I'm just an armchair bra sewer!katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-82827610750914604402009-05-28T18:43:30.220+10:002009-05-28T18:43:30.220+10:00This is very interesting, Karen.
