This kit contains enough materials to make the Emerald Erin Black Beauty Bra Kit in View A.
Kit Level: Intermediate and up. Bra tulle and embroidered tulle lace can be fiddly to work with for beginners.
If you like grab bags and surprises, then this Black Beauty Bra - View A Mystery Embroidered Tulle Lace Underwire Bra Kit is perfect for you! The laces in these mystery lace kits are only available through mystery lace kits and lace grab bags. Many are deadstock laces that are available in limited quantities.

How to use this kit:
Embroidered Tulle Lace: Cut Upper Cup, Lower Cup, Outer Cradle, Bridge,
Bra Tulle: Cut Upper Cup, Lower Cup Lining
Stabilizer Tricot: Cut Bridge, Outer Cradle Lining
Power Net: Cut Back Band
The Power Bar can be cut either from the Bra Tulle or Embroidered Tulle Lace depending on the look you are going for. If the Embroidered Tulle Lace is quite busy, I would opt to cut the Power Bar out of the Solid Color Bra Tulle.
*1/4" Flat Elastic: Optional use. If you want to reinforce the foldover elastic at the neckline and upper edges of the bra, first apply the flat elastic to the edge by zigzaging it in place and then applying fold over elastic after.
