One of their bra experts Yeshwanthi walked me through the entire collection and oh god I can't tell you how much I didn't know about bras earlier.

Wacoal is known for its fit and every bra by the brand is made with so much perfection and the fit is just wow. I also learned that the brand has researched on over 8000 women bodies to explore the different body type and fit. I have never seen any other brand take this kind of efforts to work on the right fit and I was so impressed.

A few girls joined me at the event and we had a super interactive session with the Bra expert Yashwanthi. She taught us everything that we didn't know about finding the right bra fit

Here are a few tips that I learned, tips on how to go about finding the right fit for your body

• Always make sure your band size is smaller and cup size is bigger ( ex: 34C means 34 is the band size and C is the cup size)
• To check the strap length put your 2 fingers under the strap. The space between the strap and your skin should be enough to let in 2 fingers. (shouldn't have more or lesser space than that)
• Make sure you bra hook strap sits horizontally on your back
• Always wear wired bras to prevent your breasts from sagging in the future

This and we learned so much more. Just after that, we got ourselves measured and the Wacoal team helped us find the right fit. Okay, I have to admit that I have been using the wrong bra size all my life. But I am so glad that I attended this workshop and got it sorted. I feel so confident now and definitely happier with my bra fit now.

I recommend each and everyone to drop by at the Wacoal store to get yourselves measured and get the right fit.

Most of you guys who have been following me right from the time I started blogging would be knowing that I studied in NIFT (I also know that I haven't shared much of that part of my life with you all) While I was at NIFT there was one subject that I absolutely enjoyed and it was Garment Stitching. Even though the whole process of making a garment right from the design is a challenging process, I always loved the stitching part of it.

A few days back I was invited by the Usha team to attend the India Quilt Festival 2019. There were a lot of events and workshops happening at the Quilt Festival, and I attended one of their Quilt workshop named Traveler's Tales Told in Little Landscapes which was conducted by Pat Archibald

We were about 20 people attending the workshop, and each of us was given separate machines to work on. We worked on the Usha Dream Maker 120 and hands down it is the most comfortable machine to work on.
Especially for people like me who love to stitch but are not really confident about doing it right. There are so many amazing features about the machine, but the one that has my heart is that in this machine you don’t even have to feed the thread into the needle. It can be AUTOMATICALLY done! Oh yes! My life is now sorted.

Okay, so coming back to the workshop. We started by listening to Pat Archibald’s journey with quilts. Every quilt piece of hers has a story to tell! I was mind blown by her work; it is so inspiring that I have decided to make more quilts once I learn the art of making them.

We started by tracing a beautiful image on the fabric, and we created layers onto it using nets and finished it off with crouching using a nice glittery crouch thread. We also learned the art of foiling. Oh! It was just amazing. Pat also taught us the different types of foiling. I’m definitely trying all of them!

Overall, I had a fantastic time learning the art of quilting from the best, Pat Archibald at The India Quilt Festival. And a huge thanks to Usha for making the entire experience the best.
