I found this while browsing on Madalynne's website when I realised the Noelle was a free pattern. I thought this bralette might also suit me so I downloaded it right away and made both bras on the same day. I cut this in an XS. I really didn't expect it to work, and I was just going crazy with my leftover lace. I glued the lace to some power mesh (my glue is terrible but slightly better than nothing.) Then I tried to catch the loose bits of lace in as I sewed, since on the bust it wasn't quite long enough.
This was a fun make, probably the most fun I've ever had making a bra. I was also totally blown away when I realised that it fit! After the Noelle bralette, I expected another long line bra to be equally badly fitting. It still feels substantial - it covers most of me, really, but it's comfortable and supportive.
This is hard to get on and off. Also, it's hard to get the straps lined up properly. I have a muscular back and the straps mean all sorts of fat seems to stick out everywhere. And it's itchy.
All this said I will definitely experiment with this pattern some more, prioritising softer fabric and maybe playing with the straps. One way to make things more stable would be to use boning on the sides, which I might try.
