Colour Inspiration for August & September - Earth and Fire

It makes no sense, but the winter months usually have me hankering after a camping holiday. Maybe it's the roaring fire? I love camping but I'm not brave enough to venture out and sleep rough with these current night-time temps! Instead I've stayed indoors and filled a Pinterest board with 'vanlife' camping inspiration. These elemental colours of earth and fire have inspired the colour inspiration for the Limited Edition Kit of August and September.

Colour Inspiration - June & July - Musicality

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.

Colour Inspiration - April & May - Raindrops on Roses

We're all romance and sophistication with the latest limited edition kit 'Raindrops on Roses' based on April/May's colour theme of pinks, creams and subtle greens. There are two main fabrics in this one! A rose printed bra tulle in creams and pinks also punctuated with a repeat pattern of teardrops.  Then there is the gorgeously soft organic bamboo knit in a nostalgic, sage green. Elastics pick up on the pops of fuchsia and ivory.       I can see this kit made up into a Shelley by Pin Up Girls accompanied by some bamboo briefs, maybe the Ultimate Burlesque Panties by Ohhh...
