Etchings Lace Bra Kit

Our Lace Bra Kits take the guesswork out of bra building by putting together everything you'll need to make a beautiful bra using your own pattern. If you need a pattern, we have a great selection on our Patterns Page, both paper and downloadable.

This frosty silhouette of flowers delicately adorns your bra and undies, providing just a sketch of an idea of the vivid world. We're pairing this non-stretch tulle lace with a variety of icy colors, most of which bring in colors which work with our two prints for January 2024. Make yourself a capsule lingerie wardrobe! Our Featured Artist Clare F of @theprairiefox4 used our color Thistledown to work with our print Ice Bouquet, and we love the result! She made a longline version of the Black Beauty bra from Emerald Erin, and she can do a mix and match with her set from the Ice Bouquet print. That set has 2 pairs of undies -- one for each bra!

This lace lets you accent a variety of colors, and we have a bouquet of lovely ones that all look super pretty. We like Jade, and Thistledown to work with the Ice Bouquet (you don't need to bring in the print, but we like it). Layer it over Wheat and Ink to go with the Golden Hour print. Pistachio and Heartwood are both lovely, and Lady Gray gives you a monochromatic look. 

This bra kit features your choice of Microduoplex, Super Simplex, Tricot, Sheer Cup Lining, Bra Tulle or Microlycra as the base fabric. One kit contains everything that you need to make a bra and has enough fabric for 2 with many sizes if you pick up an extra bra finishing kit. To get the second bra with larger sizes, upgrade to the half yard of cup fabric and add a bra finishing kit.

An Etchings Tulle Lace Bra Kit contains:

Your panty will match your lace unless you specify otherwise. As always, feel free to choose your favorite elastics or narrow lace (please leave us a note if you don't see your choice!). You can also add a 9" square of absorbent fabric for your panty panel! You can find our collection of Waist Lace and Elastics here, and our collection of Leg Lace here.

Sewing Notes:
The strength of our microduoplex fabric, which makes it so wonderful for bras, also makes it hard to puncture with needles and pins. This is true with most duoplex fabrics. Use either fine silk pins or Wonder Clips to pin (I find Wonder Clips work best), and a Microtex 80/12 needle with a smooth thread like Superior Threads So Fine or Mettler Metrosene to make it easy to sew. In my testing, the So Fine thread and Microtex 80/12 won the challenge of the nicest stitch on microduoplex, and as long as my presser foot completely covered the seam allowance, I found it just as easy to sew as quilting cotton. I moved the needle to the right to set my seam allowance at 1/4" since my presser foot is a bit wide. I find it works well to saturate the lace with liquid starch and let it dry before laying out your pattern pieces and cutting your fabric. This stiffens the lace until you wash it and the lace has enough body to behave well in the sewing process.
We offer all these pins, clips, needles and thread here on our site.
