[VIDEO] DIY Bralette Hack Using Undies

Easy DIY Bralette Tutorial

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:

Pins

Scissors

Seam Ripper

Tape Measure

Marking Tool

Matching Threads

Ruler

Sewing Machine

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.

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!

This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle I’ve ever done, and the results speak for themselves. ✂️ I whipped this up in just a couple of hours, with most of the time spent removing the turtleneck lol. No sewing machine required. Just a few snips here and there and a bit of hand sewing. 🎀 Oh, and it’s reversible too! In the video, I simply reversed the top for steps 1 & 2 😁 Full tutorial on my channel #linkinbio

I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it by incorporating the belt buckle as a decorative accent. Coming up with the idea was the easy part. Figuring out how to make it work was another challenge. 🤦‍♀️ 

I actually had to sleep on it for a couple of days because I wanted the buckle to be removable. I was worried it might tarnish in the wash. 🤷‍♀️

That’s when it hit me, Why not make the dress convertible? In the end, I transformed it into a two-piece set! ✂️ It turned out to be one of my most versatile and favorite remakes so far. Check out the tutorial to see how everything came together! 💃🏻
