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!
For a more traditional, and stunningly beautiful, take on Valentine's Day, feast your eyes on Bed of Roses. Featuring an allover rose motif embroidered in Crimson on a Midnight field, this is a 10" wide stretchy lace in a continuous pattern, just right for the full lace option. We're layering this beauty over a Midnight cup and accenting with Crimson elastics, but you may also choose Midnight elastics so the embroidery is the star of the show! If you choose to add a panty, we will match it to your elastics unless you request otherwise.
