Rad Patterns Lucky Lingerie Bralette

As I make my way through the dozens of bra and bralette patterns that I own, I went to one that I have owned the longest. The Rad Patterns Lucky Lingerie Bralette. I bought this patterns eons ago on Etsy of all places. Rad now has a fancy website that is much better than buying on Etsy.

I went by my measurements and made this first one using two layers  of Yoga Swim Spandex (YSS) from Zenith & Quasar. 

Two layers of YSS is quite compressive and really smooshes the girls. But this will be worn as a sports bra, so it's all good. 

I love the wide straps and how comfortable they are. I do have one confession - the pattern says to add interfacing to the straps of the lining pieces and I completely ignored it. With this fabric it was not needed. I used picot elastic to finish the bottom band on mine. I love the little added detail. 

After I made the Lucky Lingerie Bralette above, I immediately cut out three more with a light weight athletic brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar and decided to make the babydoll version to wear as a  tank top. I have a serious tan line going on and need to get more sun on my chest. 

The first one I made was turquoise and I added cups and still omitted the interfacing from the lining straps. The cups helped keep my boobs shapely, but the straps really did need the interfacing on this lightweight knit. So these versions have the interfacing added and I added bra cups. I didn't bother taking photos of  my turquoise failure. I still wear it though.  

This one is exactly the same as the one above, but in purple and with a mistake. I think I got the underbust band backwards. As the gap between the cups is way wider than I had intended. 

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but you definitely see more boob through the hole than the other versions. 

The back looks normal  - so I'm not sure if I miss measured the spacing or what. Either way, I wear this every week on a walk through my neighborhood. 

I am sure to make more Lucky Lingerie Bralettes and babydoll (tank tops) in the future.
