This is very interesting Could one use this method to pour a foam insert cup like the ones you buy to sandwich in between the fabric? Thanks for sharing

Possibly you could create a foam insert over the clay form once it has been constructed. But you can also use a pattern from a bra sloper to sew a foam cup out of Tricot Bonded foam.

I cant believe the amount of people who dont realise its a tool so that you can make your own bra's.... like a dress makers mannequin.

obviously not many people make their own clothing.

This is a brilliant idea & allows you to make a bra to fit you exactly, instead of a shop bought one that that will never fit like a custom bra.

Hi, I was wondering if you had come across any good suppliers of solid bra cups, or ways of making these - such as the ones used in Belly dance bra costuming?

@niahann The breast is soft tissue that can be sculpted into different shapes--think push-up bras. When you are creating patterns for a different shape, this technique allows you to do it off the body.
