Free Bra Pattern for DDs!
Lollipops your time has come. Well endowed girls get those knitting needles oiled up and ready to roll, on your mark, get set, GO! CLick on the images below for a more detailed view.
I always say a foundation bra is your most important purchase. There is a reason that good bras are expensive. The technology that goes into the construction of a bra would blow the mind of any NASA rocket scientist. Bras have been evolving, especially for the last fifty years, from men obsessed with rocket ships to women who refuse to push anything up beyond it's own comfort zone. Yes, a battle of the boobs has been brewing under the surface of American Society for generations.
Contrary to popular belief among the latte sipping, needle whirling, young women of today, making a political statement with your breasts was not something started by the baby boomer generation. Breasts and politics have met on many occasions throughout history, usually resulting in tabloid fodder. In American history the real battle began the day women started the long and arduous process of removing their corsets so that they could run faster to the voting booth. This strip act changed American society and just how it supported it's "gentler sex", forever.
Flappers wiggled and giggled their way into immodest cloth bras that held back some of their colder points but really didn't offer any support to their political uprising, in fact the opposite! By the time women started seeing bras as a useful tool against gravity, men and their phallic rockets
of the fifties took boobs and pointed them in the direction they thought was right. Soon after, once again, women refusing to be led around by their chests instead of their minds began burning the reins and harnesses they thought were symbolically responsible for these follies. Thanks for keeping the flame, but let's not forget gravity and her mighty grip.
This time ladies, let's get it right. Breasts are not to be taken lightly. They should be taken seriously and given the comfort and respect that any political dignitary in any society would expect! Cleavage and support are two different things. That being said, let's discuss why making your own bra instead of burning your bra is the new way of taking control of your destiny and of gravity, and isn't that really what the boys have been after all these generations? Destiny and defying gravity?
For my busty girls, try this free pattern that I found on craftster.org. What a neat community web page! It is hard enough finding a good bra in the mall when a Lollipop needs one, much less a pattern for one this cute! While lounging in your hand knit panties and hand knit chemise you'll need a matching bra! I say go broke buying out all the Love or Tofutsies left in stock at Soysilk.com instead of the acrylic yarn the pattern designer suggests (sweaty boobs, yuck with the petroleum derived acrylic already).
The bra pictured below is just right to start a revolution. I love this pattern from a British designer who dubbed herself: Theasparagusfreak,
