sewing a bralette

So I'm making my own bralette from scratch, took the frames from an old bra and put it into this one.
but I can't make the middle part(the part between the boobs)
touch mu skin, it just goes our and doesn't give support at all!
any tips on how to fix this problem?

If you search for a bralette tutorial on CO+K you could probably find out how by just looking at the part of the tutorial where they connect the two cups.

Surely that is aided my the wires? If you're really struggling you could stitch in a bit of corset boning in the centre, that will hold it straight upwards if your problem is that it's flopping away.

you need to sew a band that fits around your ribcage, under the boobs. The bralette cups should be slightly larger and rounded at the bottom so you can gather stitch the bottom to make the round bosom shape and connect it to the band. Alternative methods can be darting the cups instead of gathering the bottoms or adding elastic on the bottom instead of using a full band.
