Vintage Bras are Better Than Modern Bras - Here's Why
I recently designed and sewed a vintage bra, and have learned a lot from the experience! Namely - why vintage bras are so much better than modern bras! Why is that? In this video, I will explain why.
Disclaimer: As this video is about bras, we will be talking about boobs, bra cups, bust sizes, etc. If this makes you uncomfortable, feel free to click away now! ;)
Who am I to be speaking on this topic? First of all, like many other women, I have struggled my whole life with finding a well-fitting, flattering modern bra. I am also an experienced corset-maker, and am knowledgable in the principles that go into the design and making of a bust-support garment.
In this video, we will learn:
-All of the factors that distinguish vintage bras from modern bras (and how this makes them more supportive, even to larger busted women)
-The mystery of how non-underwire vintage bras can be MORE supportive than modern, underwire bras.
-The VERY different kind of fabric used in vintage bras, compared to modern bras.
And lots more!
