    You can use any pattern that calls for a sweetheart bodice. Just apply the same techniques. I personally am using Simplicity S8979.

    This video is amazing. I tried this for the first time today and it came out WAYYYYYYYY better than I expected (especially bc I couldn’t find a pattern, I simply paused and created my own pattern slightly time consuming but well worthy it)! This was definitely a God-send… THANKS! I subscribed and can’t wait to dive into your content!

    I would say so, but you do have to be careful when sewing so it's not stretching at all, otherwise you might get a misshapen neckline. If it were me, I'd sew utilize hand basting seams first and then sewing at the machine with a walking foot.

    hmmm...if it were me, I would hand sew the cups to the inside of the lining prior to sewing the lining and main fabric together. You might want to do cups first and then boning and only put the boning in below the cups. Try it with a muslin and see if this provides enough support.

    It finishes the top of the bodice and makes it look nicer so you don't see the seam allowances and boning casing. Also, if it has interfacing it provides extra stabilization. I guess you can use bias tape to finish the top as well but it's not standard to do it this way.

    when you sew on the lining, you would sew all the way around even at the bottom but on one side, you would have to leave a gap, so no stitches, so you can still flip it right side out and then slip stitch the opening closed.
