Why Your Undies Deserve Just as Much Attention as Your Bra

Why your undies deserve just as much attention as your bra

And how to feel like you have your life together when your undies match your bra!

We spend so much time talking about bra fit, but what about our undies?

They need to fit beautifully, too!

At Sunbird Lingerie, I create undies in different styles, including bikini, brief and high-waisted designs.

One of my favourite features is my signature ruched bottom, designed to help keep your undies comfortably in place rather than creeping where they shouldn’t! This also creates a super cute derriere!

I also use a wonderfully soft organic bamboo blend for the gusset, and avoid centre-front seams as a general design rule.

Because I make each pair individually, I can adjust the rise, legline, coverage and fit to suit your preferences.

Perhaps you love a vintage high-waisted style, or maybe a lower bikini cut is more your thing.

You can even have different styles made in the same fabric to coordinate with your favourite bra.

Why settle for ordinary undies when you can have a pair made just for you and create your individual set?

Why your undies deserve as much attention as your bra

It’s the best way to start your day when your undies match your bra.

I love to have two different styled undies for each bra…..this gives you the option of two different looks for each bra!

The Secret to Comfortable Underwire Bras

The Secret to Comfortable Underwire Bras

“I don’t wear underwire bras. They’re uncomfortable!”

I hear this quite often, and I understand why.

An underwire that is too narrow, too wide or simply the wrong shape can make wearing a bra miserable.

But here’s something you might not know: underwires come in many different shapes and sizes.

At Sunbird Lingerie, I fit the underwire first because it forms the foundation of the bra.

I also offer my wonderfully flexible Wonder Wires, which are designed with comfort in mind.

A correctly fitted underwire should follow the shape of your breast without sitting on sensitive breast tissue or digging into your sides.

Of course, the band and cups need to work with the wire, too.

Sometimes the difference between a bra you can’t wait to take off and one you barely notice is simply finding the right wire.

Don’t give up on underwire bras just yet! Contact me to discover the fitting options available at Sunbird Lingerie.

What Makes Handmade Lingerie Worth It?

So what makes handmade lingerie worth it? This is a common question among those who value quality and unique design.

The cost and the wait time….broken down. In fact, what makes handmade lingerie worth it is often found in the details behind the process.

Have you ever wondered what goes into making a bra? When you consider the question of handmade lingerie and what makes it worth it, the answer becomes clear.

It’s certainly not just a couple of pieces of fabric and some elastic!

A bra can contain around 50 individual components, all working together to create its shape, support and comfort. This complexity is part of what makes handmade lingerie truly worth it for many customers.

At Sunbird Lingerie, every garment begins with careful consideration of the woman who will wear it. Actually, what makes handmade lingerie worth it is that each piece is tailored just for you.

I select fabrics, elastics, underwires and components to suit the design and the individual fit. Often I hand-dye fabrics and trims to create just the right colour combination.

Then comes the cutting, sewing, fitting and finishing. That’s another aspect of what makes handmade lingerie a worthwhile choice for many women.

I also keep individual pattern details and notes, making future orders easier and allowing adjustments as your body changes. Ultimately, what makes handmade lingerie worth it is the personal care and individual attention each piece receives.

Mass-produced lingerie has its place, but handmade lingerie offers something different: individual attention, beautiful materials and the ability to make changes to suit you. Indeed, for those wondering what makes handmade lingerie worth it, the answer often lies in these bespoke elements.

When you order from Sunbird Lingerie, you’re not simply purchasing a bra. You’re investing in a garment created with you in mind.

Your Bra Should Fit You — Not the Other Way Around!

Your bra should fit you – not the other way around!

Keeping this statement in mind, so tell me, how is your bra-fitting journey so far!

Have you ever tried on bra after bra, only to find that none of them feels quite right?

Perhaps the band is too tight, the cups gape, the underwire digs in, or the straps constantly slip off your shoulders.

I really can’t pick just one of these issues that annoys me the most. For this reason, I work on each problem area in a very specific sequence so that each issue is resolved in turn without causing another issue!

The problem may not be your size at all. It could be the shape of the bra.

Not every woman can wear every style and shape of bra. Most are best in one or two shapes or styles.

The fitting process… in order.

At Sunbird Lingerie, I approach bra fitting a little differently. I begin with fitting the underwire perfectly to your size, making sure the width and shape suit your body. The band is next, then the cups and the teamleader holding everyone in place is finally the straps.

Why this order? Every small detail changed in one part of a bra can affect how everything else fits.

Think of it like building a bridge. Every part needs to work together to provide support, balance and comfort.

Because I make each bra myself, I can adjust each piece of the pattern to suit your shape. This is the best part of being able to customise to fit every lovely client to thier body shape and needs.

Fun fact: there are around 50 individual pieces to make each bra!

You don’t have to squeeze yourself into a standard design. Your bra can be made to fit you. Your bra should always fit you – not the other way around! Comfort and support using beautiful fabrics and colours to create your perfect bra!

Ready to discover what a properly fitted bra feels like?

Fun fact: It’s actually more comfortable than wearing nothing at all! Contact Sunbird Lingerie to enquire about your own custom fitting.
