Those who've been garment sewing know the name Cashmerette! Specializing in sewing for curves, Cashmerette has now expanded their sewing line of patterns to include a wider ranges of sizes and most recently, LINGERIE! We are offering kits for their new pattern, the Willowdale, and we couldn't be more excited!
This may be our widest stretch lace trim to date, so wide that for this pattern you should be able to use half the length as normal! Nightfall is a stunning purplish navy allover floral stretch lace with scalloped edges. Paired with Midnight or Grape and available with matching silk for an intriguing look befitting of the evening.
Our Featured Artists, Michelle and Gwynne really took advantage of the lace's incredible width!!
Our Willowdale Help Page contains all the info about selecting your kit size, your options, fabrics and lace. Its a great place to begin if you are newer to bra sewing or new to the Willowdale pattern- or both!
Please note that because the Nightfall lace is much wider than our typical offerings, the Nightfall Willowdale kits begin with 1/2 yard of lace for the Lace Upper Cup option and increases to 2 yards for the Full Lace option
The Willowdale Pattern is available here from the Cashmerette website. The size chart is here, and the fitting guide is here.
