My last tutorial sparked the idea for doing a diy bralette. In the midst of styling the DIY Twist Sweater, I thought about how great it would look paired with a cute lacy bra. Since I didn’t own one in that style, I thought, “How could I quickly whip one up?”
Me being me, I jumped on Google hoping to find a quick and easy design. That’s when I saw a bralette that (no lie), resembled an upside-down underwear! And the rest was DIY history.
You’ll Need:
Elastic (preferably knitted or lingerie elastic )
Undies (your size in mid to high rise for full coverage)
FYI the undies I used for this tutorial were new never used. One was a heavy stretch lace and the other a nylon/spandex blend.
If you use one with cotton, make sure it has a good amount of stretch. Also, I already had some decorative elastic with a picot edge and braided elastic on hand.

Closeups of the DIY Bralettes
To be honest, being a part of the itty-bitty-titty-comittee and all, I generally stay clear of these styles. However, after doing this tutorial, I’ve officially converted! Why? Comfort and (my favorite word in the dictionary) Versatility!
I can now rock my low-cut tops with confidence! These bralettes will be my go-to for laid back days and are just the start of my collection. I can see myself pairing them with off-the-shoulder, backless or see-through tops….just to name a few! Even those tops with oversized armholes.
Hope you found this tutorial helpful! Leave me a comment and me know what you think!
