Silk is the height of luxury in lingerie, and printed silk charmeuse is like liquid gold. This kit features our very own custom silk charmeuse print in a gorgeous floral pattern, lush with pinks and creams. The print is scaled just perfect for lingerie since we call the shots! You can choose how you make it up, but this couture kit includes enough materials for a silk ruffle. Jennie from Annie and Myra's made this bra using her Vivien pattern, and it's stunning. If you'd like to make your own Vivien, hop on over to Annie and Myra's to purchase your pattern. Make sure to buy both the cups and the bands. The bands pattern is here.
