1940s Knickers and Brassiere Sewing Pattern – Vintage Lingerie Set

A pretty and practical vintage lingerie set featuring a simple brassiere and matching knickers, both designed to be straightforward to make.

The knickers can be finished with either lace trimming or a delicate shell-stitch edge, a traditional hand-sewn finish that creates a lovely little scalloped effect, rather like a picot edging.

There’s also a wonderful touch of wartime make-do-and-mend practicality, with suggestions for reusing fabric from an old dress or nightgown to make the set. A lovely way to give unwanted garments a new purpose.

Silk, satin, rayon and fine cotton lawn would all be suitable choices, depending on whether you prefer something a little luxurious or more practical for everyday wear.

The pattern comes with step-by-step sewing instructions and a helpful sewing guide for additional guidance with vintage techniques.
