How to Draft a Darted Lace Balconette Bra Cup using the Porcelynne Drafting Method

This drafted design was created from the bra sloper using Porcelynne's Pattern Manipulation Method. You can create your own sloper using a simple bra pattern that fits or you can draft your own. For more information on my drafting method, check out the book Bare Essentials: Bras. The drafting and manipulation portion of the book is also available in an online course form.

Hello, can I ask a question? If I want to grade a balconet cup from C to D, how can I do it? ( which points )

[@christinelee6477]

Do you finish the seam in any way? like trip or topstitch

[@Porcelynne]

You can line it with sheer cup lining or add some tricot on the seam and top stitch. It really depends on the lace and it's it's soft or rough. If the lace is soft, just stitch over the seam allowance to lay it flat.
