"I bought this book with 4 others to learn how to sew bras, specifically for my daughter who is a 48F. She has had a lot of problems finding properly fitting bras since Covid-19. I figured we could figure it out. The instructions in "How to Make Custom-Fit Bras & Lingerie" are so easy to understand and are a method that I never would have thought of. We've been able to make a basic toile and slope within a week and are now moving on to the first fitting and adjustment for the final pattern. I feel that this book would be great for those that are just learning to sew, and for those that have been sewing for a long time and are maybe looking for some new methods. Really a great book."

"I love ths book. As a DDD size, I found the bust sling to be so incredible in fit, support, & comfort. I may never go back to a regular bra again, but if I do, I have an excellent book with lots of pictures & detailed instructions on getting the perfect fit, no matter what size."

"This excellent book is an invaluable resource which is well -written and easy to understand. I am a G-cup and now I can make comfortable bras with firm support. I highly recommend this book."

"It's nice to know that even a beginner sewer's experiences can be useful. Bras have been a constant source of angst for me for many, many years. Now, even though I am a beginning sewer, I get good fit, adequate support, ease of care, better skin health, and a great nursing bra for a very reasonable price."

"I went through his process of creating a sling bra and came up with a well fitting muslin. Life got busy and I was never able to redo the process into the finished product. But that has not stopped me from wearing my sad little blue cotton muslin sling bra often. When choosing a bra in the morning it is that incredible well fitting and comfortable bra that I grab more often than not. His research to create his revolutionary bra making process was truly amazing and it shows his concern for doing the right thing for us ladies especially those of us with larger bust sizes."

"McCunn's approach enabled me to make well-fitting and supportive bras and swimsuits for my unusual figure."

"In competitive swimming, the swimmer needs to focus on the clock, not fret over potential exposure. McCunn's custom fit bikini gives me that confidence, making me a faster swimmer. It also fits me better than any previous bikinis. I recommend it for anyone with an excuse to wear a swimsuit!"

"An invaluable guide for making clothes and lingerie that fit a real body rather than the measurement system of standard commercial patterns. The instructions are clear and provide many tricks for a person fitting herself."

"McCunn's books are a valuable addition to any collection of Sewing and Craft books. His instructions are so carefully thought out, thorough, easy to follow, and well illustrated that anyone making lingerie will benefit from them. "

"McCunn explains the WHY of pattern making not just the HOW, so I have learned concepts as well as practical skills, and when I am drafting, I actually understand the process instead of just following instructions by rote. Using his bust sling design to make bras that fit me perfectly because they are tailored to my exact shape is both liberating and empowering."

"McCunn's method, a culmination of many years experience, has helped many people, including me, in learning to draft and sew. His instructions are clear and straight to the point."

"The most comfortable panties I've ever worn!"

"McCunn's books are amazing, I have them and recommend them to everyone."
