Hi All!
Happy Spring! How is your spring going? Here in southern Ontario we’ve been surprised by more snow- and just when I thought it was safe to take off my snow tires! But I’m not letting it dampen my spring feels 🙂 So for my first make this month, I’ve decided to make something so light and airy, that will be super comfortable and weightless! Almost like I’m wearing nothing at all!
I LOVE this new set, with my nude stretch lace & new nude elastics (Coming soon to my Etsy!)
I made this using my standard bralette pattern, reduced slightly to accommodate for the stretch in the fabric and with a longline band. I made the bottoms using my high-waisted bathing suit bottoms pattern- because there’s really no difference between swimwear bottoms and panties. (also coming soon to my Etsy!)
I absolutely adore my new stretch lace, it is so soft and light, and so pretty! And I just love this nude it feels so fresh! I lined the bralette with some nude 15 denier as well- and it’s just perfect so soft- and the best part about lining is that you have all enclosed seams, so the inside can be as beautiful as the outside!
I know what you must be thinking now- were are all the pictures of you in this beautiful set? And the answer to that is: my camera woman (hey mom) is  away at a sailing class this morning, and after a very long day full of day-drinking at the Kingston Craft Beer Festival with friends yesterday (that turned into a super late and fun night) I am not quite full of enough ambition to set up a camera and do my own photos. So for now, just the flat photos will have to do 🙂 This set deserves nicer photos than I can take this morning 😛  so more will be coming soon 🙂
I’m also loving this proportion of longline bra with the high-waisted undies! It reminds me of something that Madalynne would wear- and I’m feeling so inspired by her style right now, have you seen all the bodysuits she’s doing?  I feel like I might have to make myself a bodysuit too 😉
As always, don’t forget to check out the Pinterest board, and pin all of your lovelies over there! And if you’re on Instagram and posting your lovely makes- don’t forget to add in #braaweek!!
You can go here to grab a challenge button and don’t forget to send your bra next month to bra.a.week@gmail.com for the next Round-Up post!
What have you been up to? Anything fun and exciting happening?
Beautiful! I'm on a mission to find some cream stretch lace for a bodysuit when I go fabric shopping next week because I've also been inspired by all of Madalynne's makes!
Thanks Lauren! It's all about the light things this spring!
Erin, your set is really lovely. I really want to get sewing some things for me, but my list is long at the moment, so I have to wait. I'm glad I can enjoy your makes though. 🙂
Michelle
Thanks Michelle!! I know how long that list gets- can't wait until you get back to sewing though! 🙂
It's so lovely, Erin!! I love the whole set, and I bet it looks amazing when worn! And the fabric would make a lovely bodysuit! 😉 I really like Madalynne's style, her last bodysuit was gorgeous. Now I need a bodysuit in my live too! 😛
Thanks Sofia 🙂 I will have picture of it on me sometime soon 🙂 And as for body suits, well there might be some inspiration coming very soon 🙂
I love that lace. So gorgeous. I can't wait until I am off my buying freeze so I can get some. 😀
🙂 It is gorgeous, I'll be using more of it very soon too 🙂 🙂 Thanks Andie!
This is beautiful! I was also thinking of nude lace, but there are a few other bra projects on my list.I love the bottoms; is the leg opening high cut? I'm still looking for my ideal panty pattern.
Thanks Ilna! The leg opening is fairly high cut- it's the same pattern as the swimwear pattern I used for my high waisted in the Cast Away Collection. 🙂
