Merckwaerdigh PBH30I sewed something today! No, not a dress, but a lingerie bodysuit. I was always curious with this type of lingerie, but couldn’t bring myself to buy something so expensive that I wouldn’t wear often.
The pattern is Merckwaerdigh PBH30 that I won sometime ago at Merckwaerdigh ebay auction. The pattern is for push-up underwired bra, bustier, bodysuit, and thong bodysuit. The fabric and notions are also from Merckwaerdigh, but the tiny bow and the hook and eye set is from Yuzawaya. I should have used white hook and eye set, but that was I had in hand at the moment.
Although I usually wear 30B, but from my previous experience, I found out that my cup size for Merckwaerdigh is 30C. The body is in size S. I can’t say that making this bodysuit is an easy thing, but it was sure a great experience! The bodice is still a little bit too long for me, maybe because I’m not tall. The fit is still great, but it can be better. Next time I will reduce the length of the bodice.
The bodysuit is quite comfortable to wear, although obviously not meant for summer wear. But I can imagine wearing this in colder weather and enjoying the advantage of having my stomach covered.
Bodysuit pattern is Merckwaerdigh PBH30 (bra, bustier, bodysuit, thing bodysuit)
Fabrics and notions set is from Merckwaerdigh at ebay.

I’ve been dreaming of making my own lingerie for years now! I am going to attempt to make matching underwear for my boyfriend and I for Christmas. You make wonderful pieces, and are a great teacher- thank you!

It. Is. MAGNIFICENT!!!! I’m jealous that you’re so teensy first and foremost but seriously, that is exquisite lingerie! You should be so doggone proud of yourself. I haven’t made lingerie in a bazillion years but you’ve re-ignited that thought! Thanks for sharing!!!!
So absolutely beautiful. I wouldn’t know where to start with lingerie. It looks so complicated and fiddly. You must have so much patience… you certainly have a good eye for beautiful design!
That is so gorgeous! You must be so proud. Loving that tone of blue too.
Wahou wahou wahou ! It’s very impressive…
wow…this is a huge job:) exellent!
It looks beautiful! well done! i can imagine that the body is a bit to long, this is an dutch pattern and here in the Netherlands most woman are much taller. I was surprised to see this dutch pattern on your FB post this afternoon, your a long way from the Netherlands :-)
Just what I wanted to say, Dutch women are 1,72m on average :).
You did an awesome job again, by the way!
Your body suit is so pretty. I have made my own bras, but never thought of making a custom body suit until I saw your post. I am thinking of one made of lycra fabrics to firm and smooth my bumps and lumps. Thanks for the idea.
Wow! wow! wow! This looks amazing! It makes me green with envy and the idea of trying lingerie-making myself is growing on me. Looking forward to seeing your next creations.
Oh I’m sure you will be able to make them! I have to warn you that it’s addictive though! :D
Beautiful work! It looks very professional.
Oh wow. That’s gorgious. I wish I could’ve bought something spectacular like that for my wedding lingerie (getting married next week). I couldn’t find anything though, so no I’ll just wear my comfy same o’l same ol’ under my gown. So impressed with what you can make!
Esther.
Comfortable old thing is familiar to you so maybe it will be better for the big day :)
