This is almost a duplicate of the fuchsia mesh lingerie set I posted yesterday, but this time using the remains of an olive green kit I’d bought from New Craft House when I made their Wren bra a few years ago. Because I’d bought a bra kit and a panty kit, I ended up with a lot of mesh leftover, but not much in the way of elastics.
NCH don’t offer the kits anymore, but they do have a lot of the various olive notions, so I did the smart thing of sorting through my lingerie sewing drawer before ordering. As it turned out, I already had a hook closure, rings and sliders, and a ton of the mesh, so I just needed to buy more FOE, strap elastic, and under bust elastic.
Since I was so happy with my fuchsia set, I basically just replicated it here – same size Wren Bra (36 C/D), same method (following their instructions, basically). The only difference is that this olive mesh has more lengthwise stretch than the fuchsia, so I find I need to make the straps a bit tighter to get the same lift.
I also made another Lore Piar “Scrappy Sporty Thong” for this set, too, in the same method as my second fuchsia pair with the FOE leg edges, detailed in this post. But I only added 2cm length to the front and none to the back, since the olive mesh had a bit of lengthwise stretch (vs none on the fuchsia).
This is only my second of four(!!) lingerie sets I’ve sewn recently, so we’ve got lots more coming up, including a new-to-me pattern… (and the next two sets aren’t the same Wren/Scrappy Sporty combination, either!)
