Bra BuildersSweetheart Dance Lace Bra Kit

$66.00

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. Memories of that first dance with your sweetheart last forever. We named this delicate and demure, but oh-so-alluring, lace for the sentiment that lingers long after the music fades. In gentle tones of gray and dahlia, petite blooms flutter down from the galloon edge. The scale of this lace makes it perfect for me-made lingerie! Our Featured Artist Natalie of @sparklysewist used the AFI Atelier Exquisite Bra Pattern but upgraded the cups with this lace up feature- and it's amazing! She made her matching panty with Emerald Erin's Thursday Thong. 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.

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.
