Back Wing Hack: A Simple Swap for a U-Back Finish
Love the Liora Bra but not feeling the full lace, straight back? Prefer a little more coverage, stability, or just want something that plays better with your existing wardrobe?
Say hello to the Back Wing Hack. 💙
If you’ve already sewn the Lusamine or Lazulite Bra, you’re in luck—the cradle on those patterns is nearly identical to Liora’s, which makes swapping the back wing super straightforward.
✂️ How to Hack It:
Grab the same size back wing from your Lusamine or Lazulite pattern.
Substitute it directly for the lace back in Liora.
Adjust the side seam height if needed—just blend the new piece into the front side seam if there's a mismatch in height (a small tweak, promise).
And that’s it. No redrafting, no tracing from scratch, no geometry degree required.
🧠 Why Hack the Back?
You want a classic ballet back or “U” back style
You’re using a beautiful lace on the cups and want to let it shine solo
You’re sewing with powernet or a firmer knit and want more stability
You just like the clean finish and full-band feel of a winged-back bra
This is also a great option if you're planning to wear your Liora as a daily bra and want more everyday comfort. Or, you know… if you're out of lace and deep into stash mode.
Backs can be beautiful—and practical.
Happy hacking!
