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 ranges of sizes and most recently, LINGERIE! We are offering kits for their new pattern, the Willowdale, and we couldn't be more excited!
A smooth voice croons along to the lively piano, accentuated by horns, then digs deep and really belts the words out. Jazz can evoke many moods, and so can this playful lace. The silver and black threads play well with both Smoke and Lady Gray, or take a more subtle approach with black base fabrics. Choose elastics that match or contrast and finish the look off with sparkling silver hardware! This Willowdale kit features the option to use our sumptuous Stretch Silk Satin. At 10" wide with allover embroidery, Jazzy works great for either option- lace upper cup or full lace overlay. Check out our bows and charms if you want to "jazz" up your bra even more.
Our Willowdale Help Page contains all the info about selecting your kit size, your options, fabrics and lace. Its 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
