As we are approaching the New Year, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite Orange Lingerie makes of 2019! Seeing your creativity and personal styles is always a thrill. I have listed the name and Instagram account of the maker under each photo, so you can see more of their work, as well as the pattern that was used if you would like to make your own. Enjoy!
Maker: @jaderselise
Pattern: Marlborough bra
I LOVE the idea of using this baby pink tulle for the full bra. It gives the entire piece a wonderful lightness, as well as a contemporary vibe. The black polka dots counterbalance the transparency, in case you do not want to show too much :)
Maker: @cuppa.nigh
Pattern: Boylston bra
How cute is this?! I love the matching lace and fabric in this very delicate pink, as well as the cup edge and strap details using the flower pattern variations of the lace. Jessica has made several beautiful Boylston bras after attending one of our Boylston bra making workshops!
Maker: @thelilacelk
Pattern: Boylston bra
Beautiful placement of the lace! Love the cup edges with the border that creates the impression of ribbon work, as well as the more vibrant touches of coral color here and there. Sarah made this bra in one of our Boylston bra making workshops this year.

Pattern: Lansdowne bra
A gorgeous classic in ivory, with a silky feel. Leaving the bridge unadorned also puts the focus on the cup lace, and the sheen of the base fabric. One of the basics of a luxurious bra collection!
Maker: @rinalisews
Pattern: Devonshire bra
Loving the mauve color of course - so romantic - as well as the placement of the lace on the cups and bridge. It creates a really interesting central lace 'front'. The more vibrant shades for the straps and closure make this bra dynamic and fun.
Maker: @ecoutemacherie
Pattern: Berkeley bra
I am all for all-lace bras - it's so fun to play with transparencies. This beautiful periwinkle version makes the most of the scalloped edge of the lace at the bottom edge, and I love the color pairing with the darker blue of the straps, bow and picot elastic.

Pattern: Berkeley bra
Be bold ladies! Going with strong neon colors starts to blur the line between lingerie and outerwear. I adore this commitment to the neon yellow for the entire bra - imagine how fun it must be to layer it with translucent tops, have the straps peek out of shirts, or even wear it under a jacket in the summer with nothing else.

Pattern: Marlborough bra
Same praises as above for this hot pink number, with matching fabric and lace. Plus, this was all hand-dyed! And what a cute center embellishment.
Maker: @sew.simple
Pattern: Lansdowne bra
First: a big yes to a classic cherry red silk. I love how using lace at the bridge creates a continuous lace line from cup to bridge to cup! So original, and a flattering décolleté no doubt.
Maker: @atelier_parva
Pattern: Marlborough bra
The world of lace is so full of possibilities! Love this choice of a two-colored patterned lace, as well as the cute placement of the bows at the base of the straps!
Maker: @ateliermariepoisson
Pattern: Boylston bra
This is a great example of bra-making using fabrics similar to cotton lawn (Liberty being among them). Love this tiny plant pattern, as well as the matching rings, straps and picot elastic. Plus the star embellishment!
Maker: @birdy_sew_obsessed
Pattern: Fenway bra
What a fun Fenway bra! Love the polka dots so much, and the placement of the bows on the straps too. It was difficult to pick just one favorite given all the lovely Orange Lingerie bras in this Instagram feed!
Maker: @liz_sews
Pattern: Berkeley bra
This one goes in the 'luxurious basics' category. Nothing says femme fatale more than dark red and black lace. Also loving the placement of the lace edge at the cups and bottom edge!
Maker: @charlotte_sews
Pattern: Devonshire bra
Diving deeper into the night with the black lace bras! Love the alternating transparencies of lace / fabric / power mesh on this one, plus the lovely placement of the floral lace's scalloped edges at the cups.
Maker: @tamarapapp_p
Pattern: Marlborough bra
So beautiful! Who doesn't love an all black bra with couture lace throughout? The distinctively charming edges of the lace as well as its super fine texture make this piece so elegant and sexy. Just gorgeous!
Thank you all so much for sharing your beautiful Orange Lingerie makes and inspiring us all!
