How to Substitute Fabric for Lace for my Underwear Patterns - Orange Lingerie

You know I love a matching set! My latest underwear patterns, the Montgomery brief and the Kingston thong were designed to go create a matching set for the Marlborough bra. With the introduction of the Boylston bra, I still *needed* a matching set. Luckily with just a few pattern and construction changes, you can use fabric in place of the lace for the front panel for both the Kingston thong and the Montgomery brief to create a matching set for the Boylston bra! To start, the front panel pattern needs to be altered to accommodate elastic. Now that we don’t need to have a straight edge to accommodate lace, we can also incorporate some curvature to the front. To achieve both objectives, add an amount equal to the elastic allowance (⅜” for my patterns) above each side seam. At the center front, mark 3/16” up from the top
