A Delicate Beige Lace Bra

This is another lovely lace from ElationLingerie, an Etsy shop I showcased last week. And this is another lace from my stash.

This kit comes with everything you need to make a bra, but I cut out last week’s bra and had my duoplex out so I cut out two frames and cups. I put the remainder of this kit back into my stash.

As well as saving this kit except for the lace, I used a finding kit from Bwear. 

I saw this lace and really fell in love. I think you all know me well enough now to know I fall in love with laces over and over. But really how could I resist this gorgeous lace?  Isn’t this lovely? It’s so delicate.

I don’t know why but I’m really in a mood for light colored bras. So I’ve made a few beige bras recently. I think I need to break into some pink, or ivory, or yellow next.

I was thinking of starting my post with this photo and teasing that I’d made a plain beige bra. But that lace was just too pretty not to share right off. Lastly, look at how delicate and sheer this is. It’s so lovely.

Happy creating!

  1. I notice that instead of top stitching your seams you always do zigzag. Do you find it easier? Could you tell me what stitch length and width you use? I think you also use zigzag on the elastic straps at the back instead of the lightning stitch. what stitch length and width do you use?

    1. Hello Gail, yes I do use a 3-step zigzag on my seams. It is definitely easier. I’m a bit fussy and didn’t love that the straight top stitch didn’t always look perfectly straight. And I like the look of vintage lingerie, so decided I’d do this instead. I’ve been happy with it and it doesn’t show under my clothes. I usually set my 3-step zigzag to 5mm x 1mm. I have used the lightening stitch at the back strap, but only closest to the edge. For the inside of the strap, closest to the back band, I use the same 3-step zigzag I’m using elsewhere, with the same stitch length. I hope this helps.
