Fabric suggestions
Fashion Fabrics: Recommendation of spandex tricot, supplex spandex or similar athletic weight jerseys of 200-320 gsm (5-8 ounces). Pattern was designed for 20% stretch across the body, but works well for up to 30% stretch. For high impact and to restrict bounce, keep stretch in the length to under 20%.
Higher stretch and Spandex content over 20% may require sizing down the cup for more support on larger cup sizes. Scuba fabric can be used as it is very firm with very little stretch (I recommend going up one cup size if using scuba). With most stretch fabrics, be sure you have quality ballpoint or stretch needles in a size 90/14 or higher.
To create a more stabilized front, you can cut an additional layer of cut and sew foam and place between the layers. To utilize cut & sew foam, remove all seam allowances off of the pattern pieces. Seams can then be zigzaged together, butting the edges together. This construction step is not demonstrated in these directions.
Lining Fabrics: Recommendation of spandex tricot, power net or wicking or absorbent fabrics such as bamboo and hemp jersey may also serve nicely as a lining fabric. Weight 120-250 gsm depending on support needed.
