Playdate

Alexandrea Anissa Lingerie

In addition to my last post, here is a daring little number to talk about. I used a current bra style from my Ramona Collection & instead of using mesh I used this lusciously soft fishnet fabric. I absolutely love how it turned it!! I  been in love with almost everything fishnet/ large mesh fabric since last September when I created a few pieces for my Strawberry Milk Lookbook. I am thinking of creating bottoms for this bra but the fabric stretches a great deal so I need to adjust my patterns to accommodate the stretch & hopefully think of design that sits pretty when laid flat. I did notice a lot of waving along the elastic with this bra. I probably just need to switch over to my cover stitch instead of the usual zig zag stitch.

Starless

Handmade Lingerie

I've been sick with the flu the past week sobbing ;____; & re-watching a bunch of TV shows. Today I actually managed to sew this little number made from a lime green mesh & a satin elastic. Tomorrow I plan on making a matching string bikini. I am hoping this panty will fit okay since this lime green mesh only has a minimal two way stretch, if not I am sure I can think of something.

On another note, I actually skipped out on soup today & ate pizza!! Totally made my night. Oh & I am working on a bunch of pastel lace samples I will be listing on my Etsy hopefully by tomorrow evening. So expect another post soon!

Hope everyone stays warm & has a great weekend.

Ramona Garter Bralet

Alexandrea Anissa Ramona Lookbook '14

Ramona Garter Bralet ♡  A sheer mesh front detailed with contrast seams featuring a harness strap back.  

This bralet is one of my favorite pieces from my collection so far. It took me about 7 samples to get the sewing construction right. For this bralet I wanted to have some kind of strap detailing that would tie into the harness pieces I currently offer. I played a lot with rings, adjustable straps, mesh paneling & eventually came out with this. It was definitely a lot harder than I thought. What I love mostly about this bralet or any other piece from my Ramona collection is that all pieces can be mixed & matched offering a number of style variations functional for casual to intimate settings.

In the photo above the lovely Shelbie Dimond is wearing (from top to bottom) the Ramona Harness, Mesh Garter Bralet, Garter Belt & lastly the High Waist Keyhole Mesh Panty
