Love Yourself Underwear

A brand new underwear sewing pattern collection for size range 0-24 / 30-54

If you had asked me a year ago if WBM would include underwear in the pattern range I would have laughed out loud and said NO! I wasn't able to imagine why anybody would want to sew their own underwear?

Lo and behold! My favorite underwear went out of production, and since then I have tried finding a fit that matched my full cheek bottom, and not so flat belly. That turned out to be a big problem! I tried many different ones, sometime over-optimistically buying 10 pairs at a time. My number one problem is that I have a greedy all consuming bum, eating every piece of fabric in sight. I know...!

So I designed some based on my own preferences: Full cover, no creeping and with high waist. I have made literally thousands of patterns over the past 25 years, but never have I ever made so many prototypes before finding the right fit. With the help of a huge group of testers (we had a whopping 36 participating), we sewed our way through many more than 100 pairs to get the right fit. My drawers are now full of not 100% perfect prototypes, but I have a pile of fabric and elastic and FOE waiting for my attention so I can bestow some love on my knickers.

Size range 0-24 / 30-54

The love yourself underwear  has released, and we are so pleased with the result. With Valentines around the corner, why not give yourself and your underwear some love and attention? Both Panty and Hipster come with several options for rise height, leg opening and finish. The Carma Camisole is a simple elegant top with dress length option included.

The Three Piece underwear collection

While testing the underwear collection, I learned that everybody has their favorite pair of underpants. What they all have in common? They stay in place, are comfortable and don't show through other layers. 

Whether you prefer Hipster or Panty, High waist or low waist, Lace elastic, FOE or fabric bands, the Love Yourself underwear accommodates them all... Best of all? They stay where they are supposed to!

To complete the look, we also made a simple camisole. This one is basic with miles and miles of usage.
