How it all began
Blissful Bras was the encouragement of some of my well respected friends. My bra making journey began during the pandemic when trying on bras in the store was not possible and I struggled to fit a good supportive and fitting bra for a family member. The struggle was real and I began searching the internet for how to sew a bra. I set a goal to learn to sew a comfortable and supportive bra by the end of 2021. I ordered my first bra making kit and pattern and got to work. I attended workshops virtually and then I was referred to Nikki at Sewing My Style and began taking bra making lessons. TWO months - that's right - only TWO months into the process the "Jack Bra" came to life. I'll never forget the first time she put that bra on and said "this is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn." It was such a relief and success! "Jack" was well loved and others began to follow....

Next thing I knew, my gymnast needed a well supportive competition bra. So off to the cutting table and sewing machines I went. I adapted sports bras until we found the perfect fit!

I began making my own sports bras and experimenting with other patterns. I was always looking for the next pattern I was going to make and try. A dear friend began requesting that I make her a sports bra. At that point I had no intention of opening a business, but I was willing to make her a bra....besides, I was hooked...bra making was becoming a part of me...something that I enjoyed sewing and creating.

After attending a 5 day bra making conference. (Yes, for 5 days I soaked up the knowledge of other bra makers and learned as much as I could.) I had four friends that I highly respect tell me that I needed to open a business. However, I still wasn't sure. But then I delivered the custom Monarch bra to my dear friend. When she put it on, she smiled and danced around. She felt blissful and energized - the energy was radiating. At that moment, I knew that Blissful Bras was in my future! Everyone deserves to wear a bra that makes them feel amazing in.
