The Valentines Bralette is a made-to-measure design with shaped lace-edged cups and adjustable straps. Picked-up stitches, short rows and mirrored decreases shape the cups, while double knitting creates a casing for the elastic. The straps are worked and attached using the chosen fastening option. The finished piece provides the support of a lace bralette rather than a structured bra.
