A black lingerie set

And now, for the fourth and final lingerie set (at least for now!), I’ve got a new-to-me bra pattern to show off!

I’ve been wanting to sew the Hari Ito “Epervier Bralette” pattern for a while and even printed it out pre-Long Covid but never quite got around to sewing it. Considering my current lingerie sewing momentum, I thought it’d be a perfect time to give it a try. So I first printed it out in a bigger size – since the NCH Wren bra fits brilliantly at 36 C/D I decided to go with a size 36C for the Epervier too (my pre-LC size was always 34B but I’m still ~10kg heavier). I’m not even going to rehash all the various ways of bra size measuring never ever work for me, so I always just ignore the size charts entirely and choose my RTW bra size which works 90% of the time.

Before buying from New Craft House’s lingerie haberdashery section, I did the smart thing and raided/reorganised my lingerie sewing drawer, making a checklist of all the notions each set needed, and ticked off what I already had and put those into a ziploc bag for each set. Then I only bought what I needed. 😎

A pale floral lingerie set

Are we sensing a theme yet with my posts lately?? 😂

Carrying on with my recent lingerie sewing spree, after my success with the New Craft House Wren Bra in fuchsia and then olive mesh, I thought I’d make a set using fabrics and mesh from my embarrassingly large lingerie sewing stash.

When I was determining what I needed to buy for the fuchsia and olive sets, I realised that I had a lot of white, pink, and grey notions. Furthermore, they all tied together nicely with a pale pink and monochrome rose printed satin I had. I think this might’ve even been free in a bag of scraps that Kellie at Sewing Chest sent to me years ago? It’s a thin lingerie weight with only a small amount of width wise stretch and no lengthwise stretch, in pale pink with printed monochrome roses and a lovely satin sheen.
