A short, close-fitting women's chemise in stretch lace with two-piece triangle cups, thin straps and a deep V back laced with satin ribbon through ten decorative rings.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting through the body, straight to the hem.

Straps: Ready-made straps sewn to the cups and back.

Finishing: Upper back edge turned over 0.5 cm elastic and zigzagged; the elastic is cut 10% shorter than the edge. Hem overlocked, turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Sewing stretch lace with zigzag stitches, applying elastic under tension, and binding a curved edge with rings inserted into the seam.
