Bodysuit with Lace Waist Panel

Introducing a chic women's sewing pattern for a form-fitting bodysuit, featuring delicate lace flutter sleeves and a striking sheer lace waist panel, in a soft solid finish.

When To Wear

This elegant bodysuit is a versatile foundation and loungewear piece, making it an ideal choice for:

  • Loungewear & Leisure: Refined comfort for relaxed mornings and unwinding at home.
  • Chic Layering Piece: Effortlessly styled under skirts, trousers, or shorts for a smooth, fashion-forward line.
  • Occasion & Evening: The delicate lace detailing elevates it for special occasions.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A close-fitting, one-piece bodysuit designed to highlight the figure, shaped entirely by the stretch of the fabric.

Neckline: A graceful scoop neckline provides a flattering frame for the décolletage.

Sleeves: Delicate, short flutter cap sleeves crafted from contrasting sheer lace add a touch of romance.

Waist: Defined by a distinctive sheer lace panel inset across the midriff, cinching and flattering the waist.

Legline: High-cut leg openings that rise to the hip, elongating the leg.

Closure: Equipped with snap fasteners at the crotch for practical wearability.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience working with stretch fabrics, attaching elastic, and precise application of delicate lace details.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose elastic fabrics that offer both comfort and excellent stretch recovery:

  • Stretch silk satin or a smooth stretch jersey for the main body
  • Stretch fabric featuring an openwork or intricate pattern
  • Elastic lace for the contrast panel and flutter sleeves

Additional Supplies

  • Elastic tape, 3 mm wide
  • 3 small snap fasteners

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
    1. Back - 1 piece on fold
    2. Upper front - 1 piece on fold
    3. Lower front - 1 piece on fold
  • From lace:
    1. Flounce – 2 pieces
    2. Middle front - 1 piece on fold

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch the front pieces together.
  2. Stitch the side and shoulder seams.
  3. Press the one-piece facings of the closure in the lower crotch seam to the wrong side and topstitch.
  4. Attach the flounces to the armholes. Overlock the seam allowances of the neckline, armholes, and leg openings, turn to the wrong side, and topstitch. Fold the elastic trim strip with the leg opening and, stretching slightly, attach with a zigzag stitch.
  5. Sew on the snap fasteners for the closure.
