Collection: The Fresh Collective

Welcome to our new style of kits -- The Fresh Collective! These kits are designed to work well with the wide variety of shapes, styles and growth patterns for teens, tweens and twenty-somethings. This is a period when a woman's body is in flux, and there isn't a clear and obvious set of materials that will work for almost everyone. 

We start out our kit with a base set of materials. This includes fabric for the cup, Bra Tulle, for the band, Stretch Mesh, elastic for the upper band, 3/8" picot, for the lower band, 1/2" picot, a strap, 1/2" strap elastic and a 2 Hook and Eye and usually some fun lace. Bra Tulle will allow for some growth, and if you double it with the direction of stretch going in opposite directions, you have something pretty supportive. Using these materials, you can make a lovely bralette. You can add Channeling and a pair of underwires and you can make a bra instead of a bralette. 

This might not suit you or the gal you're sewing for. We offer the ability to upgrade your cup fabric to make it more supportive or to make it opaque. You'll want to use stretch fabrics for girls who are still growing, because usually girls at this stage don't need a lot of support, but they often prefer something opaque. The different scenarios are pretty endless, so we've put together this handy help page with all the details.
