A kit inspired by the recent Aurora Australis events, in particular a photo of Ōwhiro Bay in Wellington where the deep pink skies looked over silver waves crashing against a moody, rocky beach.
This kit is jammed packed with lovely items. The main fabrics are a gunmetal grey stretch satin, combined with a deep raspberry stretch lace. A wide range of elastic in the same deep raspberry colour, give you plenty of option to play with detail and metal hardware (including a lovely diamante charm) brings an edginess.
I can see this kit made up into a bustier style bra with the wide band elastic, perhaps a modified Helena Bra by B,Wear. You could choose any brief pattern but my pick would be a thong style like the Lili by Studio Costura.
This kit has a range of elastics but choose based on your preferred strap elastic/hook and eye combo. Either 12mm/2x3 or 19mm/3x3.
