dresses

I got around to sewing Kwik Sew 240 girdle style panties. The pattern features a full fit with an extra large gusset that seems to just hug everything in place. I could not be happier with the results to this pattern .

For this sewing tutorial I used a silky lightweight power mesh fabric that has a 4 way stretch.

This is the pattern back sizing chart. Remember this is vintage sizing so you may have to size up or resize your pattern to fit your body .

Also note that the amount of stretch will / can affect the fit of your finished garment.

For instance : if you are using a fabric with a lot of stretch you may have to size down . verses if you use a fabric with less stretch you will have to size up a few sizes to accommodate to the pattern .

Step 1:

This Pattern uses 3 pattern pieces , Front x back x gusset ( cut lining + Self )

Step 2 :

‘sandwich; together gusset piece right sides together with center front panties in the middle. Pin along the curve. this step will take a lot of patience and practice .

Serge together .
