The Ruby Underwired Bra Class w/ Gigi's Bra Supply

Join Legacy Fabrics and Gigi's Bra Supply and learn to make a fully supportive underwired bra in exactly your size!

Very few of us ladies are actually wearing a bra that fits, let alone one that is comfortable. Additionally, everyone's bodies are very unique, and typically don't fit into a size chart, and we are here to make sure you get the comfort and support you deserve! Here you will get help from professional bra makers in everything from getting measured, to adjusting the pattern, to sewing the bra step by step. Take this class and we will teach you the skills to make a custom fitted bra that will last for years! Keep reading to learn more!

In this Ruby underwired bra class we will spend 2.5 days together making the bras of our dreams! We will start out by getting sized and measured - and working through any unique fitting issues. This first part is done in a private session where you get to work one on one with our instructors. The Ruby pattern is also included, and during your fitting you will receive help adjusting the pattern so it'll be perfectly fitted for you! This is beyond helpful for making more bras after the class! There will also be test bras to try on to judge how you like the different fits.

Then the next two days we will be dedicated to sewing and fitting the bras. And don't worry, the sewing is not very technical. If you are able to set a sleeve into a top, then this bra should come together just fine for you! All the supplies for the bra, including matching threads, and a gorgeous lace fabric comes with the class. For our first bra we will be using easy to see/sew with fabrics - but there are so many different fabrics and bra kits that can be used once you've made your first!

Once you sign up, you will be contacted by Jeannie from Gigi's Bra Supply asking questions that will help make the start of the class and customization of your pattern easier!

Lunch/dinner is not included. There will be snacks and drinks provided though!

If you are interested in taking both the Ruby and Ingrid bra classes, you can take $100 off the total price of the classes! And if you sign up for both classes, while you wait for your Ingrid fitting on Thursday, you can sew up another Ruby!  There will be kits available for sale… And, if you have questions, the instructor will be available to help!

Schedule:

Monday Feb 10th: Private fitting and measuring sessions

Tuesday Feb 11th: Sew day!

Wednesday Feb 12th: Sew and finish day!

More about the bra Pattern:

Bra Pattern, Ruby Full Band Bra pattern features an off-set vertical seamed cup for the roundest styling, and a shortened upper cup for maximum lift (push-up look).

Bra Pattern, Ruby Full Band Bra pattern can be made with or without underwires. The Ruby Full Band Bra Pattern has been specially designed to use with foam lining, which allows the use of virtually any stretch fabric over it as a cup cover. It can even be made without foam, using low-stretch fabrics or fabrics lined with Sheer Cup Lining.

Pattern Sizes:

This pattern uses a unique sizing system, called the Bottom Cup Depth Sizing Method (BCD).  All BCD sizes from 2.25 through 6.0 are included in this one pattern which offers the equivalent of over 100 ready-to-wear sizes. This includes the “in-between” sizes that ready-to-wear does not carry! This ranges from bands as small as 32C to 36/44H. If you find yourself outside of this range, no worries we will switch to the Classic or Shelley Bra for sizes 6.25-7.5 BCD.

Class Cancellation Policy: Weather, Unexpected Events, and Travel Tips

Your safety and experience are very important to us. While we will do everything we can to keep classes running as planned, sometimes weather, illness, or unexpected events can cause changes. Here is how we handle those situations:

If We Need to Cancel

If bad weather makes it unsafe to hold the class, or if the instructor is unable to attend because of unforeseen circumstances, we will notify you as soon as possible, usually at least 24 hours before the class starts.  In these situations, the class will be rescheduled.  You’ll have three options if we need to cancel:  join the rescheduled class, work with the instructor in scheduled virtual classes, or get a full refund.

If you need to Cancel

Refunds are available until January 31st.  What if you are unable to attend due to illness, weather, or other personal circumstances?  Our instructor will be traveling in for the class and your registration fee pays for their trip.  If you are unable to attend, we won’t be able to offer a refund, but we’re still here to help! We will ship you the class supply kit and we’ll work with you in scheduled virtual classes to guide you through the class materials. We’ve had great success with virtual classes and will work with you to help you get a great fit. 

Travel Tips

If you’re traveling to attend the class, we strongly recommend booking fully refundable or flexible options for hotels, flights, and car rentals. While we hope for smooth sailing, having flexible travel plans can make any unexpected changes easier to handle.
