The pairing of Simplicity and Madalynne Intimates is a match made in lingerie heaven. Designer Maddie Flanigan uses the Simplicity 8711 pattern to show you step by step how to sew a gorgeous set of intimates. The underwire bralette features a monowire for support, housed in an interior frame called a floating bridge. The monowire and bust darts create a bralette that gives exceptional support and shapes without flattening. You’ll also learn how to attach a hook and eye closure and make adjustable elastic shoulder straps. The underwear is sewn in a matching fabric with three tiers of flounces for a glamorous effect.

  • ½ yd jersey, spandex, stretch lace or stretch mesh fabric (body)
  • 3/8 yd micro mesh or powernet (lining)
  • 1 5/8” yd of 3/8” wide plush picot elastic

Looks very challenging still, but wow! I had never thought of making my own undergarments. Seems like a great skill to have.
