RUBIES BRAS

My diagnosis with Lupus in my 30's followed by many years of high dosed prednisone along with chemotherapy did a number on my body, self-esteem and self-worth. With the weight gain came very large and significantly asymmetrical breasts.

There were many challenging years ahead to find a decent bra. I always had to size up for the larger one which left too much cup for the smaller one! Very frustrating.

My children are grown now. Finished university and living their own lives. Mortgage paid! It was now my time to search for that illusive bra. I started googling custom bras and came across Rubies Bras. I loved Ruhee's story.

When I met Ruhee I felt instantly at ease with her. I never thought that I could wear a wireless bra again! Ruhee and Bianca proved me wrong.

With love and gratitude to both of you I go forward into my 60's with new found confidence and beauty.

I’ve made x2 mockup bras and found the cup needed to be smaller than I thought. I find the low itch construction method invaluable as a HYPER SENSITIVE autist! It is great to have the tutorials on how to adapt the pattern to your individual shape and size too. I am very wide across the cup bout with very little actual breast tissue to fill a cup that commercially produced bras ever make. I’m late to the show making my own as I’m 70 this year but I’ve really enjoyed the process so far and am just in the brink of buying my first bra kit. Fingers crossed it fits as well as I hope, and at least as well as the mockup ones.
Being in so few pattern pieces has been amazing for a newbe to making my own as so much less overwhelming once I got my head around cross grain, stretch percentage, notions, strap width and stretch or no stretch. Love it. Bra materials and notions are not as easily available in the UK THOUGH ☹️

First bra pattern I have ever sewn and it came out very well. I had to make just a few simple adjustment to optimize the fit, now it is way more comfortable than any store-bought-bra I own. The pattern instructions are very easy to understand even for a beginner in bra sewing and the video tutorials were also very helpful.

The Sahaara bra pattern is the best wire-free pattern by far ! I just added 1.4 cm to the gore to prevent spillage, according to your advice. It fits beautifully, I chose a 30C and removed a few centimeter to the length, to get something like a 29'' underbust. Thank you for a very thoughtfully drafted pattern

The cups seem to fit pretty well. I only think maybe band will have to tighten in the future but for now I think it's OK. It's a pretty bra and minimalist and I'm so happy that you helped me. You are really special.

Thank you, Rubies Bras & especially Leigh, for talking me through the whole process long distance after shoulder surgery left me struggling to fasten a bra at all. Measuring, choosing, trying, trying, trying, remaking my bra to get it just right. It fits, it's easy, it's comfortable, it's lovely, it's sexy! Many thanks for your patience & hard work!

I love this bra pattern. I will say I measured for a 30D but the size that fits me best is actually a 30B. It provides the right amount of support and comfort!

I had an absolutely amazing experience, and I'm so glad I put my trust into Rubies Custom Bras. I was at my wits end trying to find bras in stores that fit me. I was shopping in both US and UK sizing and nothing was quite right. So finally I took to the internet to look into the custom bra process. I have to admit, I was skeptical about the virtual aspect, however, that final round of alterations really did the trick! They are so knowledgeable and patient, the customer service is great. They don't stop until your bra fits like a glove. The bra is absolutely perfect! I am happy to report it is as comfortable and supportive as I dreamed it would be.

I haven’t made it yet. I watched your excellent video and will try it soon. I live in the UK so getting parts for bras is not so easy as in North America.

so much I love about this pattern:
- the fit is suberb;
- sufficient descriptions, and for different fabric-combinations
- the pdf with the pattern parts, with every part of every size on a separate page (printable on US Letter or A4) without the need of cut-and-paste; AND a clear overview in the beginning per size of which pages of the pdf you'll need...
I made my first one, and many will follow!

Never had a bra so comfy and supportive like this bra. I definitely bought a lot of findings from bra builders as well

Fits like a glove. Perfect again. Can't be happier with the bra. Thank-you so much.

It was a pleasure to meet you and to fulfill my needs with bra requirements. Your finished product as well as being “beautifully” made is also very comfortable and easy to wear. Thank you dear.

Really pleased with the bra I made from this pattern, looks great, really comfortable, and surprisingly supportive. Thorough instructions that are easy to follow. I had a query on the sizing and an adjustment and got a swift and helpful response - excellent customer service. Highly recommended, the only bralette pattern you need. I will be making several more.

I have had so many issues finding the right bra for years until I got connected to Rubies Bra and life changed forever...well my body posture and comfort did! Custom bras that work best for me and finishing touches very well done. Ruhee makes sure the bra looks and fits right. She’s honest and doesn’t pretend it looks good and makes the changes as needed. The cost may seem like a lot, but the way the bras wash and how long they last is worth the cost. Finally, the ease of having the bra altered and then shipped back if there any issues has also been amazing. I highly recommend Rubies Custom Bra! Thanks Ruhee.
