Hey, Look What I Made: Navy Eyelash Lace Chemise
Over the weekend I swore I was actually going to sew something because I hadn’t been able to make anything in a couple weeks and my sewing machine was missing me. In fact, I was going to sew a corset, as I had a kit I’d ordered from SewCurvy a few months ago but still hadn’t had the guts to try out yet. I’m sorry to report that those guts are still pending– after reviewing all of the steps, I decided that this was a project I had to start at the beginning of a weekend, not on Sunday night. Oops.
Instead, I made this navy lace chemise, with triangle cups I drafted when I was at DMU and the rest a very basic column shape. What I really need is a model to wear it for you guys because it looks much better on a person than on a hanger, but it’s a little too see-through for me to wear for you myself.
As you can see, this is the same lace I used to make a bodysuit a few months ago, so I have a nice little mini-collection going on. I’m happy to report that despite early differences, my sewing machine and I are becoming best of friends. I do think that using myself as a mannequin and fit model is getting a little difficult and I may have to invest in at least a mannequin that I can poke with pins with abandon.
One of my favorite parts about it is the low back. Isn’t the lace gorgeous?
New sewing adventures coming soon! I’m working on redrafting a wired bra pattern to fit new wires I bought and I hope to be able to show you a new set next week! I’m very excited about this next one.
It looks great, darling! Rock on!
Thanks
. I fear if my corset adventures go awry I’m going to come crying to you for assistance!
That looks beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Awww well done you. This looks awesome!
It’s so beautiful you’ve inspired me. I think I have to look out for the DMU course. Wish I could model it for you – well done
You have such talent!
Um, holy crap. That is stunning. LOVE the navy lace– so elegant!

It looks lovely, well done great work, as you say it would look well on a model, lets hope you get a volunteer.
Maybe you could wear it over a nude bra or cami to show it off?
Hmm, good point! I’ll see what I have that’s appropriate.
Splendid idea !
I second this. I’d love to see it on.
Simply Beautiful. Congrats to you for sticking with it. I started on a line over the summer, but when I lost my model, whom I was creating everything for, I all but gave up. Keep experimenting and showing! I can’t wait to see more.
Thank you! Sorry to hear about your model troubles– at least I know I’m around to try stuff out on
Another great lingerie project! Well done
Wow, that is really gorgeous!
lovely! x
Navy is probably one of the most unexpected yet beautiful colors lace can come in. What a beautiful creation! x
Thank you so much!
I love this! The lace and shape is stunning.
I agree with some of the comments that there should be more navy in the lingerie world!
