Flourish 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.

We found this gorgeous lace in two color ways and immediately fell in love! The galloon edge is subtle, and the overprinted blossoms steal the show and are thriving- aptly named "Flourish" in a month of Flowers Everywhere (those April showers bring May flowers)! It's a generous bouquet on the table, a carefully kept garden, the decorations at special gatherings you'll remember all your life...

It is available in a cool variety and a warm variety because we couldn't choose. The cool variety goes well over cream and pairs perfectly with Garnet, Aegean, Fern and Amethyst. The warm version goes over Cocoa Butter and coordinates with Watermelon, Monarch, Emerald and Persimmon. We do love a good embroidered lace with overprinting!

Our featured Artist for this set is Clare F of @theprairiefox4. She used the Harriet By Cloth Habit for her bra, Tulip Hi-Cuts by Primrose Dawn and the Corset Belt by Sofi Collection for her corslette. Absolutely stunning!

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.

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!).

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.
