Hi! I have a problem that causes other problems.
I am flat chested. Not even an A cup.
Because of this I have been having problems with tops. I make all my own tops.
One basic problem, be it Bra top or Choli, is that whenever I lift my arms over my head the tops lifts a few inches.
Of course, my other problem is making them so they fit. I have used a couple of choli patterns and they all are far too big for me. One, suppose to be the smallest size, fits my D cup friend. (I gave it too her) One pattern, that so far worked mostly, still has quite a gap in the chest area. I will have to use a decorative pin or some creative sewing in the center front to make it fit me, with or without a bra over or underneath it. I am preferring a closed back or one with a very narrow opening for the back so I can hide a very large scar.
The patterns that I have used is the FCBD choli pattern, the folkwear #144 which I know is a more evolved version of the FCBD choli pattern, and now a stretch fabric pattern http://sewing.patternreview.com/patterns/18520.
I tried making my own bra top but the cups are always too large and stuffing pops out when I dance. (Usually with much laughter from me.) Even when pinned in I have problems.
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts that may help the chronically flat chested? Nothing seems to work.
