There was a lot of struggle finding wires in manageable quantities and in a suitable profile and length. (I ended up dropping 2 of the larger sizes for the run for financial reasons but I hope to use them eventually!) Photo by Karolina Laskowskahttps://knickerbockerstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/underwire-delivery-karolina-laskowska.jpgunderwire delivery karolina laskowskaThis delivery of underwires would be considered tiny in industry... And I still haven't used these up over a year on.https://knickerbockerstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/karolina-laskowska-elastic-straps.jpgkarolina laskowska elastic strapsTypically a bra will use approximately a metre of shoulder strapping per garment. Most indie brands don't make in huge quantities so a minimum order like 1000m can suddenly make life very difficult indeed. https://knickerbockerstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/custom-bra.jpgcustom-bra-karolina-laskowskaOne of my very early bra designs; fabrics like the French lace were relatively easy to source compared to things like good quality wire casing, correctly sized bra wires and shoulder strapping.

Unfortunately I couldn't even entertain the thought of including this bra size in my factory production as it was so cost prohibitive. Lingerie by Karolina Laskowska. Photo by J Tuliniemi.
