Yes, I'm still playing with my Shelley pattern from Pin-up Girls. Frankly, it's the only pattern that has a great fit for me. Let's have a look at the beautiful lace from Bra-makers Supply. I've already got it cut and mounted on ivory powernet.

I've been tweaking the bra frame and band to get that narrow no band look because a super narrow frame and band means no band rollover.

Thinned Bra Frame and Band |
It looks like I could shave another 1/8" from the frame and get a partial band look.
Look. No band rollover. Beautifully mirrored pink and ivory floral stretch lace.

Thin Band and Mirrored Stretch Lace |
If you're thinking something looks wonky, well, you're right. Something is wonky, it's me. The left side of my body is different than the right and it is shifted upward at least 1/2". Because of this asymmetry, I make two different sized upper cups. In my case, mirrored lace will never be perfectly mirrored. To make the best of the situation, I choose to focus on the neckline edge and making sure it is mirrored as closely as possible.
