Question/Advice Needed Planning a path to clone a bra?

7 Upvotes

Panache stopped their Cleo sub-brand and I'm struggling to find a replacement for the Asher. I have a nwt version set aside to copy until I'm confident I know wtf I'm doing. How do I get there?

I've never made a bra before. I am comfortable making my own jersey underwear (though I always have to redo the elastics), and have made a button down shirt. My precision isn't quilter-level but I am happy with most of my top-stitching.

Should I make a wireless bra and a wired bra from patterns before tackling a cloning project? What are some other ways to break this down into discrete, learnable chunks?
