Title: Simple Camisole Pattern?
Post by: Acorn on April 09, 2021, 22:22:23 PM: I'm looking for a pattern for a camisole that I can wear under a couple of blouses that are a bit too see-through for my comfort. Thin straps, no gathers, very plain - oh, and it must be a pdf pattern. You know how I hate tissue patterns!

I'm also thinking that I would like to make it from silk - but I never know what I'm looking for when I search for silk online. Any suggestions there?

Thank you! :)

Off to look at silk charmeuse now...

I can vouch for the Ogden cami. I bought it last year and it's a great pattern. It has subtle curves to the edges that make it much more flattering than standard camisoles. I've made at least 3 since I bought the pattern.

@toileandtrouble Off to take a look!

Effectively, yes. I have one in the laundry basket waiting to be put away - I will fish it out in a mo and post a photo of the facing/lining. It's very straight forward and finishes the ends of the spaghetti straps very neatly.
