A course by Julieta Contreras Bravo
Julieta Contreras is a self-declared fan of the sensations that lingerie has the power of awakening. When she started making her own lingerie, she barely knew how to sew. Through trial and error, she discovered her style, the materials she liked to work with, the shapes she was interested in recreating, and how to make the finishes she wanted.
Over the last few years, she has created her own method to make her ideas a reality and reveals her process through social media. From @lenceria.en.casa she shares the materials, shapes, and techniques with those who are curious about making their own underwear at home and exploring their inner world.
