I stumbled upon Evie la Luve‘s patterns when I was browsing my IG feed the other day. As I’m always interested in trying out patterns, I got myself a couple of panties patterns, the Esme and Bella panties in this pattern bundle. You can also buy them separately.
The Esme panties have cross over design, while the Bella panties are made with stretch lace allover. Both panties have very low waistline, so you might have to pay attention with this. I happen to love low waistline, and usually lower every panties pattern so these patterns are perfect for me.
Both patterns come with instructions that is very clear with step by step pictures.
One thing that I like about using stretch lace for panties is that usually you don’t need to use lots of elastics so they can be sewed up pretty quickly. That is the case with these panties, they only need some length of foldover elastic to finish the waistline.
I got the stretch lace locally in my neighbourhood in Tokyo. It is very pretty with white thread around the edges and blue accents.
I don’t talk much about the bra because I have made this pattern several times. It is my favorite Merckwaerdigh BHS10. And now I think I have found new favourite for lace panties pattern!
Panties pattern are Esme and Bella panties (PDF) by Evie la Luve.
Bra pattern is Merckwaerdigh BHS10 size 30E.

These look beautiful, and comfy! I love the scalloped edge of the stretch elastic- it works wonderfully with both bra and panty.
What was the amount of fabric you bought, and how much wastage did you experience while pattern-matching (or was the pattern-matching unintentional?)
Thank you for inspiring me to make my own lingerie again :)
