Those who've been garment sewing know the name Cashmerette! Specializing in sewing for curves, Cashmerette has now expanded their sewing line of patterns to include a wider range of sizes and most recently, LINGERIE! We are offering kits for their new pattern, the Willowdale, and we couldn't be more excited! 

Deep, rich Merlot inspired the name of this swirl-adorned 8" stretch lace, which goes perfectly with our Cranberry Stretch Silk Satin. It's a little bit playful and a lot of classy. Mix and match with Champagne Spritzer to extend your lingerie wardrobe. We're keeping the kit simple in all Merlot, so drop us a note if you have another idea for your order!

Our Featured Artists, Maria & Clare, stirred up these lovely mini capsules. Patterns used include:

  • A modified Black Beauty by Emerald Erin
  • Sahaara by Rubies

Our Willowdale Help Page contains all the info about selecting your kit size, your options, fabrics and lace. It's a great place to begin if you are newer to bra sewing or new to the Willowdale pattern- or both!

The Willowdale Pattern is available here from the Cashmerette website.  The size chart is here, and the fitting guide is here

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
