Musicality' the soft and moody colour scheme for this month has inspired a soft and flowing underwire bra kit.    The two main fabrics are a dusky pink stretch satin and a white and black, daintily embroidered tulle. Punctuated with a variety of cinnamon and black elastics plus a generously wide black satin ribbon for decoration.   I can see this kit made up into a Labellum bra, pattern by LilypaDesigns or the new Margareta by B,Wear. This kit is available in either 12mm and 19mm elastics.  I know what I’m making. How about you? You can get your kit now in the Kit...

I've paired it with an array of metallic elastics including a narrow, golden peach elastic perfect for strappy detailing.  Speaking of strappy details, this kit comes with an assortment of rings and sliders, including a heart slider so you can...

The findings include a hot pink, double edge picot elastic for the straps and band plus an aqua-blue fold over...
