Toile 2- Sports Bra
The first toile for this piece didn't quite go to plan but I put it down for the choice of fabrics I used. This was the final chance to see if ti would work well or not.
What I changed:
- Reduced the size of the racer back panels by 3cm
- Increased the diagonal towards to front on the side panel
- Reduced front, back and waistband by 1cm from the Centre Front and Back
- Reduced the length of the top by 3cm
- Reduced the straps by 1cm
- Used Flat Seam and Cover Seam around the arm hole (not neck)
I realised that this design had to be scraped today. The power
mesh has been over stretch or is too long on the pattern. The arm holes are too small around the armpit and uncomfortable. Nothing is tight so there is literally no support which is needed. I also find it quite plain and very unpleasant to look at. I feel that its better to try another design or start something a fresh, as I think this will let down this whole outfit I'm making.
Overall, it's really not what I wanted for my sports bra and the more I developed, the more terrible it looked. I'm started a fresh and going to design something new for this outfit, maybe more like a cropped t-shirt.
