Ivory Sage Tulle Lace Bra Kit

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.

Elegance abounds with Ivory Sage tulle lace in the faintest of greenish ivories, embroidered with silvery green thread. It is a 10" tulle lace with allover, self-mirroring embroidery. We are dyeing up a special batch of Cream that leans ever so slightly green to pair with this beauty, from fabrics to elastics...UNLESS you choose to indulge in Forest Green stretch silk satin for your cups! (This new-to-us silk is a bit deeper of a green than the Evergreen silk we carried in the past, but our Evergreen dye is still a terrific match.) Ivory Sage lace also makes for a lovely companion to our Gossamer and En Pointe kits. To order coordinates for the Creamy version, leave us a note asking for Cream Matcha. To order coordinates for the silk version, order Evergreen.

This bra kit features your choice of Microduoplex, Super Simplex, 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. 

A Tulle Lace Bra Kit contains:

Your panty will match your lace unless you specify otherwise. As always, feel free to choose your favorite elastics or narrow lace (please 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.

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.
