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 newest patterns, the Willowdale and the Radcliffe, and we couldn't be more excited!
A matching bra and panty set is such a pleasure to wear. Feeling pretty underneath begins with beautiful garments that fit you perfectly. As the next step in Cashmerette's move into lingerie, they have created the Radcliffe Panty Pattern. While its a lovely compliment to the Willowdale, it's also a great stand alone panty.
This kit is designed to work with our lovely Bayside Willowdale bra kit. Looking at this lace, I'm reminded of standing next to a crystal clear bay on a remote island somewhere in the warm Pacific. I see the deep blue of the center of the bay grading ever lighter to a light sea green at the shore. The colors in this lace are remarkable. The lace weaving itself is lovely, with a beautiful variety of flower motifs that are a bit different than the typical ones you see. Look at all the different woven patterns and floats in this lace! Oh so beautiful!
We're using a watery trio of colors to work with this lace. You can choose either Hydrangea, Sea or Pistachio depending on which part of the bay is your favorite. I can't decide if I prefer the vivid blue of the middle or the pale green of the edge. I don't think you can make a wrong choice here! We're offering this kit in 3 of our favorite undie fabrics - Microlycra, Microlycra Air and Stretch Mesh.
The Radcliffe uses a stretch lace at least 2" wide. For the Bayside, you'll use the lace inset option to use our lovely Bayside lace.

We offer the option to double your elastics so that you can get more panties from your kit, and we will change up the elastics for your preference. One of our most popular options is Foldover Elastic because of its ease in application, making a great choice for those just venturing into making panties. We also offer a picot elastic option, which is another easy peasy option.
