Old vs. New

Design Diary, Lingerie

Do you ever re-visit fabrics?

I bought this doe printed french terry before Isabel was born (I remember this because I made her a newborn dress out of it!), and really fell in love with it. I loved it so much, I ordered several more yards.

Two years ago, I released a lingerie set using the Doe Fabric. I paired it with champagne scalloped lace and did my classic hipster and longline bralette.

I was going through my fabric stash a couple of months ago and re-discovered it. I decided it was time for a revamp.

This time I paired it with simple beige mesh on the bottom and a small lace applique on the top. I think I prefer this new incarnation of the ‘Doe’ Set.

I like reinventing old styles. I find it to be a fun design challenge. I often draw so much of my inspiration from the fabrics themselves, that I like to find interesting ways to coordinate or display a print or colour.

The Doe Bra and Panties are available individually or as a set in my Etsy Shop.

    I like them both, although I do tend to prefer the older version ! Of course, I am going through a big lace phase so that is probably why.

    Oh my word, Sarah, you are a gangster. I just started IG to enter the Colette Moneta contest and decided that while I sew my new Ohhh Lulu patterns up, I ought to show them.
    I have a really bad made by Dritz dress form. It’s not really suitable for anything other than draping, really.
    I wanted to sew up and tag you in my wares, but thought you’d be offended seeing me in my undies. Get ready to see some cellulite because I no longer have photoshop! 😀
