Makers with a bra or two behind them who are ready for lace. If you are comfortable with basic bra construction, we will guide you through lace placement, delicate fabrics, and the finishing details that make this view special.

Newer to bra making? Start with one of our Sahaara classes and come back to lace when you are ready.

The Rani (pronounced "raah-nee"), a wired plunge bra pattern named after the Sanskrit word for queen. Because that's what you are, and your bras should fit like it.

Three years in the making, the Rani is our first wired pattern, sampled and tested across every size range until the look, the shape, and the feel were exactly right. The low, open neckline sits beautifully under plunge tops and dresses, while non-stretch cups keep you lifted and supported.

Whether this is your first bra or your fiftieth, the Rani is a minimal, approachable sew, guided by a fully illustrated manual. A bra that’s made by you, and fits, flatters and functions just for you.

The pattern comes in over 60 sizes and A-K cups.

Note: The Rani Pattern is not included with your class and must be purchased separately.
