Call for Testers
Experience the Future of Bra Making with Calliope & SassyCut
I am thrilled to announce the first pattern testing call for SassyCut, an app designed to generate made-to-measure bra sewing patterns based on your unique measurements.
We are looking for testers for our debut pattern: The Calliope Bra.
The SassyCut Difference: This isn't a traditional pattern test. You won’t be downloading a graded PDF. Instead, you will be testing our web-based app to generate a custom-fit pattern specifically for your body.
Timeline:
App Access: Selected testers will receive app link, details etc next week, latest by 12th February.
Tester Version: Generate and sew your first "fit sample" within 10 days, 22nd Feb.
Final Bra: Tentatively, March 4th
Selection Criteria:
Your Measurements: Primary goal is to test the algorithm across a diverse range of body measurements & folks with fit issues as well as very standard measurements.
Skill & Experience Level: We want seasoned bra makers as well as confident beginners.
Special Interest: We are looking for a few testers who use projectors (please note: projector file downloads could be slightly delayed compared to A4 in which case timeline will be slightly pushed for those folks.)
Expectations from selected testers:
Measure & Generate: Take measurements as per instructions and use the app to generate your pattern.
Sew & Fit Photos: Sew a tester bra & send clear photos (front, side, and back) while wearing the bra. Should you face any fit issues, personal assistance will be provided to resolve same.
Privacy note: Photos are for internal fit analysis only and will never be shared. If you prefer, you can book a 1-on-1 video call to show the fit instead.Feedback: Provide detailed notes on the app user interface and the fit.
Final Reveal: Share a photo of your final Calliope bra on social media or your blog (flat lays or mannequin shots are perfectly fine!).
PS: Materials required are your usual bra-making supplies.
Fabrics: Non-stretch fabric for cups & cradle, Stretch fabric (Medium/heavy duty powernet) for back band
Elastics: Bottom band elastic, Strap elastic, Narrow picot/foldover elastics (underarm, neckline)
Underwires & plush channeling
Hook & eye, rings & sliders etc.
Rewards for Testers:
