Dark, rich Mallard has been a customer favorite ever since we introduced it and this beautiful green is a natural match for this beautiful lace. Rather than stretching along the length, this lovely sheer, embroidered tulle lace has quite a bit of mechanical give- vertically; be sure to design your garment accordingly. Wide open blooms adorn the top edge, with their stems and leaves trailing about halfway down the field. At 10.5" tall, this mirrored lace also features embroidered scallops along the top edge. Make it the jewel of your winter lingerie wardrobe today!
Our Featured Artist Liz H. custom designs her Willowdale Bra Pattern and this is what the magic looks like. She also customizes the Bravo Bella Undies Pattern to create this beauty.

If you plan to make your matching panty with the Cashmerette Radcliffe, a smaller kit will use 1/2 yard and a larger kit will use 3/4 yard of lace. We'll follow your choices for your bra kit in your panty kit, so either all one color or with an accent, unless you tell us differently.
As always, feel free to choose your favorite elastics or narrow lace (leave us a note if you don't see your choice!). You can also add a 9" square of absorbent fabric for your panty panel! You can find our collection of Waist Lace and Elastics here, and our collection of Leg Lace here
