Olivia Sews said... Wow!! Those are beautiful!! Nice job. 3/15/08 7:32 PM
Rhonda in Montreal said... What BEAUTIFUL lingerie, Sigrid!! Maybe difficult for you to make, but oh, so much nicer than available RTW. Feel LOVELY in it!! 3/15/08 7:41 PM
MarshaG. said... Just stunning, Sigrid! The lace is to-die-for and your construction looks top-notch!
Where did you get the made-to-measure bra pattern? It looks just like a style I'd like to make?
Nice job, and I agree with Rhonda - feel lovely in it!

lilyofthevalley said... Oh, Sigrid, your lingerie is unspeakably luxurious and gorgeous. And your workmanship! These pieces belong in a very upscale boutique. You are a Wonder! -Lily 3/15/08 8:40 PM
Mahler said... oh la la ! This is beautiful and feminine ! I never had the guts to sew such streachy and glossy fabric. I admire your work ! Bravo ! 3/15/08 10:13 PM

Vivienne said... W.O.W. Your work is beautiful and the Merckwaerdigh patterns are gorgeous. I'm working up my nerve to try one ( I bought PBH30 fromn Elingeria). It took me an evening to figure out the sizing! 3/15/08 10:22 PM
Re Becca said... I must have this pattern! I checked out her website, and I couldn't tell whether or not they ship to America. Seriously, these are beautiful. They have everything that I have been looking for in underwear. 3/15/08 11:02 PM
GollyGolly said... Absolutely lovely! They are things of beauty and I am certain, dreamy to wear. 3/16/08 0:07 AM
Kay Y said... Gorgeous! I love all the pieces in your photo album - such beautiful sewing! 3/16/08 9:34 AM
fuzzygalore said... Fabulous! You're always an inspiration, and this is no exception..
Just a small bit of translation advice though: boxer shorts have legs. What you made is simply called briefs. 3/16/08 1:59 PM
Sigrid. said... Ladies, thanks for the compliments. And for those who never tried: please do, it's not as difficult as it seems.
MarshaG: I did a course in lingerie making in which I was thought how to draw a pattern with my measurements.
ReBecca: Merckwaerdigh ships worldwide and the owner speaks English (some of the other items have English descriptions).
Fuzzygalore: thanks for the the translation, it's so confusing as we use the same words sometimes, but with a totally different meaning (in Dutch this is called a "slip", while in English a "slip" is a lining skirt I believe) 3/16/08 2:24 PM
carlton said... beautiful
here in england a slip is a petticoat and can be a full slip-covering from shoulder to hem or a half slip just from the waist

fuzzygalore said... Oh, and brassiere in the original French means 'baby shirt', and knickers which tends to mean knee-long climbing/skiing pants in the US means your 'slip' (ie US panties) in the UK, so it's all hopeless :-). We have lots of opportunities for international mis-communication, but these pictures we can all agree on - this is the kind of thing we'd like on our butts! 3/16/08 7:00 PM
LauraLo said... The set looks great, Sigrid, and I love how you filled up that triangle with lace! 3/17/08 4:15 AM

Patzee said... Beautiful! I would love to make my own bras. Your "made-to-measure" bra, did you draft it? If you drafted it yourself, did you learn from a class or a book?
Thanks! 5/25/09 1:51 PM
Wow!! Those are beautiful!! Nice job.
