No Show Brief PDF Pattern
Skill Level: Beginner
Wow! I’ve been wearing VS and Pink brand no show panties forever. Decided to take a chance on this pattern with the Mist fabric and I can’t believe how easy it is to make these! The mist fabric is so lightweight and comfy. The fabric is hard to maneuver being so slippery but I managed! Video tutorial helped a bunch for this beginner sewist! I will try this pattern with the Align fabric soon for more compression.
3,5/5 stars
I've been eyeing this pattern for a while and decided to go for it last week! I honestly don't mind visible panty lines, buut I wanted to try something new. Instructions are ok, they provide the information you need to finish each step. There's illustrations and photos provided for one step. Constructions is mostly straightforward. I found one step to be confusing, which is when you attach the gusset to the back. The instructions calls for a 6 mm seam allowance, when sewing the gusset to the front you should use a very narrow SA but no mention of what that means. There is a video tutorial, in which she does mentions 1/8 inch which I feel like that could’ve been added to the instructions? The video tutorial is not mentioned in the pattern, only on their website. There's not elastic, so extremely quick to finish. I've already made 5-6 pairs lol. Adjustments were needed to get my final fit, I like my panties to reach my belly button. I choose my size according to my hip measurement, but felt like it was too loose at my waist and not high enough, so I had to make adjustments to the height (front) and lower them in the back as well as making the waist smaller.
The pattern includes layered files, A4 and A0. No projector file. I edited the A0 to have the pieces unfolded.
Why this is not a 5-star pattern for me:
* They only provide measurements in the imperial system. It's annoying, not the biggest deal but it's enough to steer me away from buying a pattern. I know, I can just google the metric equivalents. It does feel lazy, not providing that in the pattern already. -1 star
* Good pattern, but I was also expecting more. I don't know what, but it does feel underwhelming. -0,5 star
Super comfy, quick and easy.
This is such a quick and easy sew! The undies are awesome, so comfortable, and invisible. The instructions are well written and easy to understand.
I have made several quilts, but am a super beginner to garment sewing and knits. I found this pattern a bit tricky to cut and it took a mistake or two to fully understand the sandwich for the back crotch seam, but it was worth the learning curve. The fit is AMAZING. I followed the instructions to adjust the pattern for my fit issues and that worked perfectly! My most wearable garment I've ever made 👍👍 planning to replace most of my day to day undies with these babies!
Easy to make. Instructions are clear and detailed. Only made one tester pair so far. Need to make some adjustments before using the pattern again.
Very quick to sew up with clear instructions. Great to wear with athletic wear as they really comfortable and light. And most of all, they don’t show
The trick with this pattern is to find the correct fabric. Finding a knit with 75% stretch which does roll is a mission. Have not been able to make a pair yet without the waistband piece. But the concept is great. Next try will be to use fusible elastic on the leg openings which will give the illusion of no show but will have elastic
Yaaaay! Don’t have to sew on elastic onto ITY knit. Did have to cut an inch off each leg opening, trimmed crotch sides by 1/8 inch and lowered waist by one inch. Next pair will decrease waist by another inch and trim each crotch side by 1/4 inch. Used size I, full pantie, with full abdomen as muslin pattern. Didn’t understand how to sew crotch until watched demo on international bra sewing bee. Then was easy.
Have not made it yet. It is cut out but not sewed yet.
Love the full coverage rear (why would anyone in their right mind not want a fully covered butt?) and the tummy adjustment options. So many undies just really don't seem properly configured for larger ladies. Wish you'd print the fabric yardage requirements on the website though. I was just having to make a wild guess as to how much fabric each pair might require, and I wanted to order my Mist fabric at the same time as I bough the pattern!
Not only a great pattern with so many options but it also has a FANTASTIC fit adjustment section with clear instructions and diagrams to get EVERYONE the right fit!! And bonus: a sew that really is cheaper than RTW!! I will never buy store bought again!
Finally, I can get a better fitting no show brief! Not to mention that a half yard of fabric is about the same price as 1 RTW and you’ll get 2+ from it
These panties are easy to make and so very comfortable. I started making them, and I am addicted. It's fun to play with fabric, lace, different bands, etc. The different rises also give you a lot of options. The full tummy adjustment is amazing and gave me the perfect fit for the high rise version.
Quick sew, and yes they are no show under anything and everything. Get a chuckle every time I wear a pair and see the novelty knit I used in the gusset. So little fabric goes so far. Great pattern.
this is a super fast sew and you will get undies that don't show and are comfy, and save money making them!
I love a panty I can’t feel, and these are it! So comfortable that it’s almost like wearing none at all, and bonus that there are no panty lines! The low rise are my favorite and I need many more pair. I’ve made them in a variety of fabrics with success. Just make sure the fabric doesn’t roll on the edges.
Tired of tugging your undies as they won't stay where they are supposed to? Ashamed of those horrible visible panty lines? This pattern SOLVES all major underwear issues and you may make a pair in under 15 minutes! It doesn't get any easier! Once you make your first pair, you immediately want enough for every day of the week and typically toss out your ready-to-wear creepers. The design is brilliant and yet so simple!!
Make sure your fabric doesn't roll. If it does, use the waistband or stretch lace.
