Finished sewing the last ever 2 of these Cassiopeia bras. Feels like I've been working on them forever, it's the most work intensive bra I've ever designed. There's around 115 individual parts in each garment, and it usually takes me a couple of days to complete each one. I had to hand dye the lace, and each pattern piece has to be cut and specially manipulated by hand to match up the exquisite scallop design. It's a bittersweet moment finishing these bras. A relief, but sad to know they're the last. Next week I'll make a couple of extra treats with the offcuts and then they'll be off to their new homes. #instalingerie #karolinalaskowska #handmade #intimates #instafashion #lingerieaddiction #frenchlace #independentdesigner #luxurylingerie #couturelingerie Tfw you nearly finish putting your lookbook together and then your 6 year old laptop crashes. Praying that InDesign was kind enough to autosave... Gorgeous flower fairies @yazzminnewell @twig_uk @maz.spencer with makeup by @sammmagnew. Rather pleased with how my custom printed silk turnes out. These designs aren't for sale, I made them because I could. Sorry not sorry. I don't make lingerie for myself very often. This set is one of the few examples, made in 2015. Pattern matched French chantilly leavers lace, velvet and the softest glove leather. Looking forward to more one-off projects like this once I've finally moved and settled in Norway. #instalingerie #karolinalaskowska #handmade #intimates #instafashion #lingerieaddiction #frenchlace #independentdesigner #luxurylingerie #couturelingerie Kestos style bralet in hand painted French lace, jet Swarovski buttons and silk loops, scattered hand sewn Swarovski crystals. Not for sale, just made it because I could. #instalingerie #karolinalaskowska #handmade #intimates #instafashion #lingerieaddiction #frenchlace #independentdesigner #luxurylingerie #couturelingerie Lace on lace... Appliqué detail with scattered Swarovski crystals. #instalingerie #karolinalaskowska #handmade #intimates #instafashion #lingerieaddiction #frenchlace #independentdesigner #luxurylingerie #couturelingerie Rather fond of this bra. French lace cups, hand sewn metallic lace appliqué, Swarovski crystals and Italian printed silk panels. Not for sale, just made it because I could. #instalingerie #karolinalaskowska #handmade #intimates #instafashion #lingerieaddiction #frenchlace #independentdesigner #luxurylingerie #couturelingerie
