I am based full-time in Lisbon.\n\nTwo questions: do you have in-house pattern development for bras\nspecifically, and would you quote for a development engagement at this\nscale? I would be glad to visit in person.\n\nBest regards,\n\n*Amelia Tombs*\nCo-founder + CEO\nceo@underandbeneath.com\nLinkedin  \/ Substack\n\n\nPioneering bras made in your country to fit your body without damaging\npeople or the planet.\n\nWant a bra fit for you?

It's great to hear about your achievements and your focus on sustainable and made-to-measure bra production.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate analysis for your project, I need to gather a few more details:\n\n1. **Quantities**: Could you please specify the total quantity you are looking to produce initially, and how many styles you intend to create?\n2. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\nPlease note that at this initial stage, we do not schedule calls or arrange in-person visits.

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThanks for the quick response. Let me outline where we're starting and\nwhere we're heading, because the end goal shapes how we'd like to run the\ndevelopment stage.\n\n   - We just want one style at the moment to make it easier for you. We\n   have a design, created by my co-founder @Chloe Grant\n    cc'd in but our base pattern at the\n   moment we believe doesn't work in manufacturing. Therefore, we need help\n   tweaking it and establishing a base pattern block to start off with.\n   We'd want your technical team's input on making it clean, followable and\n   manufacturable. This foundation will inform everything else.\n   - From there we want to use measurements starting in our waitlist of\n   women to tweak the pattern and create a bra made for that person.\n   - Then,  each woman tries on the bra made for her, and we assess fit\n   against a structured checklist. Where the fit is off, we need to assess =\nof\n   which value was wrong and by how much. That feedback goes straight back\n   into our system, improving the next round.\n   - Once we've cracked this, we can open up to our evergrowing waitlist of\n   400 women who want a bra made in the same country where they reside.\n   - For initial development, we're looking for 1 unit per pattern for\n   sampling, but we appreciate that sampling might take a few iterations. I=\nf\n   the first patterns work, we will move to a 10=E2=80=9320 unit fit study =\nlater this\n   year, and then toward batch made-to-measure production as soon as possib=\nle.\n\n\n*Where we're heading: *We're building an ongoing on-demand workflow where\nwe want to partner with a manufacturing facility in the same country where\nthe bra wearer resides. A woman submits her measurements to our system, our\ntechnology adapts the base pattern to her body, and we send you a\nproduction-ready pattern with the order attached. You make it. No size\ncharts, no bulk inventory, no guessing demand=E2=80=94you receive a pattern=\n and an\norder together. The idea is we want to offer consumers bras that fit them\nperfectly and are made specifically for them. That's the long-term\npartnership we're looking to build. Everything below is about proving it\nworks and ensuring it fits with your manufacturing flow.\n\nWe're treating this as proper development work rather than a cheap sample\nrun, so we'd welcome your quote for base block refinement, pattern\nadaptation and sampling, plus your view on realistic lead times.\n\nWe're also genuinely open to your advice. If you think there's a better\nsequence, or if your team sees a problem with the approach =E2=80=94 partic=\nularly\naround how on-demand production would actually work in your setup =E2=80=94=\n we\nwould much rather hear it now than later. That conversation is valuable to\nus in itself.\n\nBest,\n\nAmelia\n\nOn Tue, 14 Jul 2026 at 10:55, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Amelia,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with us.
