Madalynne has made it impossible, via Instagram, to avoid the Noelle bralette. I had not realised that it was also a free pattern, and when I realised this, I had to make it immediately. (I also discovered that I liked the Mallori Lane and so that followed, also immediately.)
I used size S.
The fabric is a leftover from a german bra kit, I think it's from www.sewy.de The trickiest bit is sourcing a single round thing for the back. I didn't have one so I just tried to make my straps arrive at the right angle.
Once I got it all together (very easy) I determined that the long-line part of the bra was totally ridiculous on me. I am short waisted. It means I have like no rib length and no space between the end of my ribs and my waist, so this thing came down to my waist. I took off the entire bottom panel except a bit to attach the elastic to.
After that it's totally wearable. I think there is still somehow too much fabric in the back so I am thinking about how to change that, and I also don't like that the strap adjusters hit right on my collarbones. I am probably going to try again and make some changes, including just skipping the long line and using some heavy elastic below the bustline, and then maybe cutting out some of the back.
