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!
Maybe you've heard it said, "Cold hands, warm heart!" Well, this month Lilith is here to prove that a seemingly ice facade can prove to be warm and loving given the right circumstances. In icy lavender, this 13" wide stretch mesh lace is embroidered along both edges with stylized lilies and self-mirrors - a perfect candidate for the all-over lace option! Pair with:
London Fog for a near-perfect match to the cool embroidery
Elderberry if you want to extend your capsule from last season or wish to match our yummy stretch silk satin, or if you're looking for just a little contrast
Carob for a chocolatey contrast that is unexpected yet lovely - strap elastic will be London Fog
Frost for a next-to-neutral look - All findings will be Frost
