Have you ever just wanted to have both!
These two laces are a match made just for that - a lace capsule created with these creamy ivory shades along with vibrant shades of wine for 2 bras kit and optional panty kits to match.
Mulberry Wine brings deep wine and mauve floral embroidery on a rich Mulberry tulle - moody, romantic and perfect for the season's darker palette. Paired with Mulberry, a little dusty and just intense enough to feel intentional.
Ivory Rose is the softer half of this duo, delicate Creamy blush floral embroidery on the Ivory mesh with Cream poking out from each blossom...all supported by Mulberry elastics.
Whether you are matching a Fall wardrobe or just want to sew something beautiful and cozy, each kit comes with everything to create a capsule or simply fill your lingerie chest with a few new bra/panty makes. Panty Kits are optional, so make your selections accordingly enjoying the idea of all matching pieces.
This lingerie capsule 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 more with many sizes, if you pick up an extra bra finishing kit. Pick up the Intimate Bouquet full stretch lace for bra accents and panty.
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.

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 to make it easy to sew. So Fine thread and Microtex needles 80/12 or 70/10 won the challenge of the nicest stitch on microduoplex, and as long as the presser foot completely covered the seam allowance, and found it just as easy to sew as quilting cotton. Moving the needle to the right to set your seam allowance at 1/4" if your presser foot is a bit wide. 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.
