What to sew, how to sew?

Tailoring brings the greatest profit if production is highly specialized. Focus on making men's and women's panties, and then gradually expand your business to all types of underwear.

The manufacturing process can be divided into stages:

  • Preparation;
  • pattern making;
  • cutting fabric;
  • stitching parts;
  • finishing of finished linen.

The first stage takes place using a measuring and fitting machine: acceptance of material, measurement of width, length, quality assessment, grading.

To cut fabric, buy a laying carriage on a special table. Patterns are laid out on the fabric, then traced and cut using mobile machines. Combine the table with the table of a stationary machine with a band knife. This is necessary for final cutting of patterns.

You will need a large room of about 100 square meters. m. Make cosmetic repairs, take care of good lighting. Also organize a warehouse.

You can start a business without having a workshop, but in this case your employees must agree to work from home. And you must properly organize the distribution of work: who will cut the linen and who will sew it. Set up a warehouse at home. This system is suitable for small batches of sewing panties.

", in which we conducted a survey, the main question of which was: what kind of business would you like to do right now? The youth were happy to share their thoughts. The first of the respondents was Anastasia Menyakina from Nizhny Novgorod - at the age of 20, the girl practices sewing underwear with her own hands at home.

Anastasia wants to learn in detail about the nuances of sewing lingerie and finally decide whether sewing is worth doing in the future. We took the liberty of answering her basic questions.

Sewing your own underwear as the start of a big business

Audience, funds and sacrifices are, unfortunately and fortunately, the components of good business. Nowadays, the audience seeking to buy something original, individual and beautiful are people under 35 years old, mainly, of course, girls.


They are interested in jewelry, clothes and underwear, which means they need to act and open their own business. Handmade lingerie will always be of interest to women who want to become even more attractive and simply please themselves with a beautiful new thing.

The process of sewing designer underwear sets


People will always like to dress beautifully, and sometimes they are willing to pay a lot of money for a quality product - the main thing is that it is pleasant to wear. Do-it-yourself production and sewing of underwear is a business whose relevance is difficult to underestimate. Young people, unfortunately, do not have a lot of money, so at first you should not register as a student (although in the future you must do this), because in 2017 it will cost at least 10 thousand rubles.

If there is not enough knowledge regarding this issue, then you can register an individual entrepreneur in Nizhny Novgorod through the services of this company, and at a very reasonable price.

At first, you should focus on sewing only one type of underwear, for example, sets in a “bottom-top” combination. And after customers begin to trust your products, expand the range, work on new models.

Uninformed readers who are interested in this type should know about the basic aspects of making such accessories:

  • purchase and preparation of materials;
  • design creation and pattern making;
  • cutting fabric (serging, if necessary);
  • tailoring;
  • depending on the design - trim with beads, sequins, lace, ribbons.

The sewing process contains many additional steps, and, of course, such production takes a lot of time, however, this justifies the high demand for designer products. If necessary, you can complete courses in sewing underwear - there are several of them in Nizhny Novgorod. It is not necessary to look for the most expensive and prestigious master classes (that will come later) - first, it is enough to get the basics, and then go learn from famous professionals.

Equipment and raw materials

The list of sewing equipment does not include just a sewing machine, but if you are young and do not have a lot of money to create your own production workshop, then it is enough to purchase only the most important things:

  • classic sewing machine with pedal;
  • marking gun;
  • end ruler;
  • scissors, needles, threads and other sewing supplies;
  • different types of fabric.

Sewing underwear with your own hands can be called a business with minimal investment, because all the equipment listed will cost about 10 thousand rubles (the price includes the cost of sewing accessories, and the fabric is considered separately). At first, due to the lack of funds for a cutting machine, you can make layouts and cut the fabric yourself at home.

When starting to sew your own underwear, you can purchase an inexpensive but reliable German-made Veritas Rubina sewing machine. Over time, you can buy something cooler, but given the low price, especially for used products, this is an ideal option. You shouldn’t immediately try to buy everything new and necessarily expensive - a business is built first of all on the person himself, and then on the funds.


If sewing underwear with your own hands has taken off, and you are planning to seriously start a business by deciding to open an underwear sewing studio, then you should additionally purchase:

  • measuring and grading machine for measuring material and assessing quality;
  • mobile cutting machines;
  • cutting tape machine;
  • machine for sewing straps;
  • three-thread overlocker for stitching;
  • flat-stitch machine for stitching lace from the inside;
  • laying carriage;

But it makes sense to purchase this kit only when there is a client base and stable sales appear, for example, the possibility of selling in wholesale quantities. Then you can not spend the proceeds, but save them and spend them on expanding your business.

Sewing your own underwear: room

Most modern sewing machines are quite compact: they fold up and are put away in special cases, so you don’t need a lot of space for storing fabrics and equipment. You just have to allocate a couple of shelves in the closet and your storage unit at home is ready.


A desk can become a workplace; we advise you to remove all unnecessary things from it before starting work, because, as you know, there should be no distractions during the work process.

Fabric selection

  • viscose;
  • cotton;
  • modal;
  • silk;
  • poplin bamboo.

Sewing lingerie with your own hands from lace is especially popular, because it is a classic.

Tip #1: Don’t try to sew bright, unusual underwear. Girls are used to buying things that can be worn with clothes of any color, so fabrics in pastel colors (pale pink, pale blue, cream), white, beige, brown, dark blue, black are especially relevant. While the client base is unstable, do not try to jump over your head and come up with a model that no one has ever sewed before - create basic models, gain customers, take individual orders.

Tip #2: purchase the necessary material in bulk; usually fabric for sewing underwear is sold 1 meter wide. High-quality material is expensive - so before purchasing you need to accurately calculate how much you will need and give a small reserve.

Financial questions

As you know, no business can do without a certain amount of money, which would allow it to grow. Sewing requires 30 - 50 thousand rubles. Below is a table with approximate minimum costs:

The cost of the product must be calculated based on time costs (for example, 100 rubles per hour of work) and the price of fabric and finishing materials. On average, a “bottom-top” combination will cost 700-800 rubles. For the first two months, you need to sell clothes at a lower price, not 600, but 450-500 rubles. First, buyers will be attracted by the price, and then by the quality and appearance of the product.


Some of our clients said that before they became acquainted with Anita lingerie, they had custom-made bras made to order. Most did not find underwear in their size in stores and believed that manufacturers did not make I or J cups. And if you came across underwear of this size, it was impossible to wear it - it simply did not “hold” the breasts.

They were sure that the mass product would not fit their non-standard figure, would put pressure on them, and their breasts would look terrible. And an ideal fit can only be achieved in underwear created personally according to their sizes.

They were ready to pay serious money for sewing linen in the studio. Like this:

Photos from the Internet found for the query “Sew a custom bra”

The nuance is that in the production of bras, and especially for large breasts, the cut and materials are very important. Serious lingerie manufacturers with extensive experience and traditions have their own design bureaus and a large staff of process engineers. They pay great attention to innovative technologies and can afford to invest a lot of money and time in the development of a new bra model. One bra model consists of 20 – 30 parts. This is a real engineering design. The new product has been tested by ordinary women with non-standard figures for at least a year.

There are several respected lingerie brands in the world that cater specifically to non-standard figures and large breasts. One of these companies is the German Anita. The peculiarity of Anita underwear is the perfect fit even for the most unexpected sizes..

What problems do women want to solve when ordering custom-tailored lingerie?

1. Large breasts with small volume under the bust

Let's say your underbust volume is 65 and your cup size is I. This is a very difficult size to select - only serious manufacturers can adequately sew such a product. Lingerie in rare sizes should be just as aesthetically pleasing and have exactly the same functionality as underwear in size 75C, which is considered the standard.

Anita bras have a wide range of sizes: underbust volume from 65 to 125, cups from AA to J.

Examples of models with the rarest sizes:

Nursing bra reliably and carefully supports even the heaviest breasts filled with milk; 70% cotton. Size range 70 – 110, cups D – J

Women with non-standard sizes find it difficult to choose a beautiful swimsuit. But for a store, a website is not a problem:

Bra with wide unloading straps. Size range 75 – 115, cups A – H

Bustier bra with front closure. Size range 80 – 105, cups A – E

Especially for women with stiff hands, Anita has developed a unique model that does not need to be fastened with your hands. Bring your hands together and the buttons will fasten themselves.

A unique model with magnets - for those who find it difficult to fasten hooks and buttons. Size range 75 – 115, cups A – E

5. Breast asymmetry

For those who have one breast larger than the other, it seems that this is a pathology. Meanwhile, breast asymmetry occurs in most women. And the problem is laid down

The Anita company produces such a cup from the porous material Spacer - it is light, soft, breathable, and at the same time holds its shape perfectly. Despite its thinness, it perfectly camouflages the nipple. You can’t just buy such material; most likely the studio will replace it with foam rubber, which is harmful to women’s breasts.

So, we put on a padded cup, tighten the strap on the side of the smaller breast, and minor asymmetry is eliminated. If the asymmetry is very large, you cannot do without special overlays. They are in the assortment of our partners - salons for the rehabilitation of women after breast surgery.

New - a bra with a thick cup made of jacquard fabric. Size range 70 - 95, cups B – G

Our best-selling bra with a smooth padded cup perfectly models a beautiful breast shape
Size range 65 – 95, cups A – G

6. Skin hypersensitivity and increased sweating

And how women suffer when putting on synthetic lace underwear (often with foam rubber), purchased at an inexpensive lingerie store. The skin does not breathe in it, sweats and constantly remains wet. Diaper rash appears, the body itches, and allergies may occur.
In this case, they begin to search for underwear made from natural cotton - and find “granny” bras produced in factories of friendly republics. In this case, there can be no talk of an attractive design - similar models were worn by our ancestors during the Iron Curtain years.

What underwear will help solve the problem of hypersensitivity?

A) Bras with a cotton content of at least 75-80% (you still can’t do without polyamide and elastane - they are responsible for fit and durability):

The problems for which desperate women turn to individual tailoring of underwear can be listed for a long time: sloping shoulders, very high or very short stature, mastectomy or breast surgery, etc.

You will find the underwear that will help you in our online store or from our partners - come in, call, we will always be happy to help!

But sometimes the Anita company, with its wide range of sizes, is not ready for the non-standard requests of its clients. Then the company’s technologists develop a model specifically for the customer:
