I just did this with all of my sports bra's and swimsuits that have loose breast cups set in a pocket. I tac it to the lining and now I can wash it without havin to take the cup out and it doesn't roll up that weird way that they do. It stays where I need it.
Totally. I hate it when they just put them in the pocket and they get all funky and move around when you wear them or wash them. Just a few simple stitches fixes this. :) Happy sewing and tank you for watching.
@@SewAnastasiaI forgot to mention another reason why I would like to keep these bras and make them work is because the shoulder straps are very wide, soft and coverage at arm pits and back.
This was really helpful! I dont have a sewing machine so ii have to alter my clothes with hand sewing. I just got this 4th of July top that came too big. I had to take the side in. But i cant stand layers so putting in a built in bra was the best idea.
That's a great idea. Question: I you actually wanted for the cups to act as a real bra to give you hold not just cover, what can you do? Can you insert a lining with an elastic?
what a great video, would you mind telling me which video is it that has how to do the lining into a dress? i cant fnd it and would like to do for my dress. Thank you again for you video...XOXO
Thank you... I will be hand sewing a pad into a dress that has no seams. QUESTION-- Would you not secure 4 sides of the pad into the top vs just 2 sides? does that make sense? (top- bottom-left side and right side for each pad??)
This is a great video! I would love your advice on something. I'm doing some alterations to a bridesmaid dress I'll be wearing. My dress has decent boning/structure and i think with the right fit/adjustments I could get away with not wearing a bra (which would be great because I hate strapless bras). I have a larger bust (about 38E) and I am going to order larger bra inserts than the ones that came with the dress. I am unsure on the best type of inserts to order. I have heard that the molded cups would offer better support for my larger cup size, but will that just add extra fullness? Or would it be better to just order inserts like the ones you used in your video and bring the dress in more to try to keep things in place?
Hi I'd like to make a bodycon biob tube dress. I'm a newbie to sewing and have only followed basic patterns. With bodycon/scuba which is the best fabric? Also would I be favourable to line it without making me look larger? I love the idea of placing bust cups in instead of wearing a bra as I'm not well endowed In that area. Sorry for so many questions x
Will this work with a smock top? I purchased a dress for my daughter and the smock fabric is irritating her. Of course the square neckline doesn't allow a bra, and strapless bras are a pain. There isnt any seam allowances, so I was thinking I could stitch to the elastic smocking?
I have a dress that is semi-sheer with an opaque lining. If I place cups between the outer layer and the lining they would show through. Do I just sew on the inside of the lining then (the side against my body)?
I had to have my tissue removed so im flat, is there an option to add more, i finally found a bra with prosthetic but that doesnt allow for most dresses. Sewing is not my best skill but im desperate.
You can buy the gel bra insert pads & make a casing/ pillowcase to put them into your clothes. Like on a sports bra when they have the removable bust pads.
Great question! You can tack it to the neckline or you could sew them to a piece of ribbon and attach the ribbon at the closest seam. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching.
I just had shoulder surgery and purchased a few bras. After a few hours both breasts are smashed together and popping out the top. These bras were very pricey and are a hassle to return. How can I sew underwire cups into the nylon/spandex bra.
I would sew the cup around the outside of the cup through all layers of the spandex bra. Yes you will see the stitching on the outside of the bra but it shouldn’t show through your clothing. Hope that helps.
I am looking for guidance to tack down lightweigh small breast forms for women with aesthetician flat closure after mastectomies for breast cancer. Thanks!!
Sadly i am not sure just adding bust cups would cut it for me. One problem for me would be where the support would come from, cups on their own is not enough support for me😢.
finding hand sewing tutorial is like finding atlantis THANKYOU!
@@casdy1773 Welcome 🤗
This is a great video! No more worries about bra straps showing on thin strapped tops! Thank you.
totally!!! Thank you for watching and happy sewing.

Thankfully the best way to put in cups in by hand sewing them in😊
Brilliant Ty! I’m a flattie, so prefer padded bras. I’ll add thicker cups and it’ll be much comfier in summer etc.
Perfect Tula Pink fabric! So cute!
I LOVE this fabric. It is SOOOOOO cute :)
Thank you 🙏 so much!!! This is so helpful

Yes you cold sew like a bando bra in it with cups.
Great instruction.
@@sharongallagher3443 Thank you for watching :)
I was waiting for this video thank you so much ☺️!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Hi. Awesome project. Thank you.
Very welcome!
Do you leave the cupa in when washing the dress in the machine. Or every time take.it out ?
I leave them in.
what a great video, would you mind telling me which video is it that has how to do the lining into a dress? i cant fnd it and would like to do for my dress. Thank you again for you video...XOXO
Coming soon! It's actually coming out on Tuesday! So keep a look out for it. Thank you for watching.
@@SewAnastasia - Thank you for the reply and I always watch your video.
Love your personality and your content. :0)
Thank you... I will be hand sewing a pad into a dress that has no seams. QUESTION-- Would you not secure 4 sides of the pad into the top vs just 2 sides? does that make sense?
(top- bottom-left side and right side for each pad??)
You can totally secure it at 4 sides. I more you secure it the better it will stay in.
I appreciate that you hand sewed. But what should I do if I want to sew the cups into the pocket of a bralette, swimsuits etc?
Maybe sew it at the edge with a zig zag stitch.
Could you add elastic from the outer edges underneath the backside to add a little bit more support?
Totally!
What do you do if your top doesn't have a lining or visible stitching in the front?
You can sew the together in the middle and then sew them in your side seam.
@@SewAnastasiahow to sew to the side seam, could you make a video please😅

It sounds like you need to take in the dress and add insets. You need to be supported so I would get ones that cover your full bust.

Yes! You can totally do it that way

You can buy the gel bra insert pads & make a casing/ pillowcase to put them into your clothes. Like on a sports bra when they have the removable bust pads.
Where do you buys your bust cups? I’m a DD and I’m having a hard time finding busy cups to fit my chest.
Honestly I found them on Amazon! Crazy right.
How do you stitch it if there’s no princess seam?
Great question! You can tack it to the neckline or you could sew them to a piece of ribbon and attach the ribbon at the closest seam. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching.
How would I see one in to a plunge neck halter top dress? Thank you in advance :)
You will probably need to cut the cups to fit the neckline & sew them into the lining or seams.
@@SewAnastasia thank you very much!!
Is there any way to attach bra cups to a regular camisole top?
If there isn't a lining you would see stitching on the outside. You might want to try those stick on boobs!
Cool
💕

It would have been good if you tried on the dress and showed us how it looked.
@@adobeblue4360 It looks awesome. I wear it all the time. There are photos on my instagram of me in it. Check it out :)
what if you don't have seams
You can see it to the neckline, lining or side seams .
Sadly i am not sure just adding bust cups would cut it for me. One problem for me would be where the support would come from, cups on their own is not enough support for me😢.
You could try cutting an underwired bra up. Maybe slice the sides so just the front remains, and add the whole front?
I have the opposite issue. The more padding, the better.
Can I just cut the back off a bra and sew it in?
That's actually a great idea!! That way the cups won't overlap.
You totally can
What if the dress is commercially made and already lined and there's no princess seams?
Sew it to the lining
Low this
Hi, I was wondering if you know how to make a men's bodysuit...
Totally! I will add it to my list!
