A FREE Bralette Pattern

Design Diary, Giveaway, New Items, Sewing Patterns, Tutorial April 3, 2018

Guess what?

I have a new pattern! And the best part is, it’s FREE!

The Hyacinth Bralette is a super simple pattern. It’s just two pieces and only requires a small amount of fabric, making it the perfect scrap buster. If you are new to sewing, with a bit of experience working with knits, this is the perfect project for you. If you’re a more experienced sewer, the Hyacinth will be a quick yet rewarding sew.

 

I’ve posted two videos on YouTube. One will walk you through how to alter the Hyacinth Bralette for a larger cup size (a D+), and the other walks you through the general construction. You can check those out here.

This bralette isn’t designed for support. It’s meant to be a light garment, ideal for smaller cup sizes, or as lounge wear. I think it would also make a great bikini top.

The instructions provided with the pattern will walk you through how to add lace trim to the neckline, band elastic along the lower edge, fold over elastic around the side and back upper edges, as well as how to sew adjustable straps. This pattern is developed for stretch knits. I like something with about 5% spandex for stretch and recovery.

I’ll be releasing an expansion pack for the Hyacinth Bralette very soon which will include several back variations as well as lace overlay options. I’m super excited about it and have had so much fun working on all of the samples….!

Get your free copy of the basic Hyacinth Bralette here. And stay tuned for the expansion pack!

Ohhh Lulu + Mint For You Boudoir Give Away

Giveaway, Lingerie, New Items May 19, 2017

I’m pretty excited about this collaboration. Jennie from Mint For You Boudoir Photography contacted me ages ago and I’ve finally got my act in gear to collaborate on a photoshoot! I love seeing how different photographers style my items, and I absolutely love the model she worked with, Carmina. She just looks so effortlessly confident and beautiful! And my favourite thing is that they are both based out of Toronto – I love to work with fellow Canadian artists. I really love Jennie’s modern, clean aesthetic. It’s obvous to see she puts a lot of love into what she does.

Jennie and I have teamed up to offer a Give Away that is currently happening on Instagram. We are each giving away a $100 gift certificate – so you’ll get $100 towards any Ohhh Lulu purchase and a $100 voucher towards Mint For You photography services! To enter the giveaway, just visit me on Instagram!

I’m in love with this backdrop!

I really love these photos and kind of want to book my own session with Jennie now!

Giveaway, Lingerie December 24, 2016

I’m trying something new… a Giveaway on Instagram! I haven’t done giveaways much over the years, but I am so in the holiday spirit this year that I wanted to share with all of you the only way I know how… with pretty lingerie!

The giveaway is happening on Instagram. Here are the rules:

  1. FOLLOW @OhhhLulu on Instgram
  2. SHARE any photo from my Lingerie Collection
  3. TAG me in the photo (@OhhhLulu) and use the HASHTAG #OhhhLuluLove

The giveaway is open internationally. A winner will be drawn at random after the contest closes on Dec 28th at Midnight. I will announce the giveaway winner on Instagram on December 29th 2016.

 

Good luck everyone! And happy holidays! This has been a transformative year for me. It’s been difficult and scary. I’ve faced some of my weaknesses, some skeletons in my closet, had some disappointments, but I’ve overcome so much. 2016 was a rough year for a lot of us (I’m looking at you Hillary). I think we’re all ready for some good cheer and fresh starts… and some pretty new lingerie.
