Create Couture Lingerie
Sewn by machine or by hand, couture lingerie is cut to fit and combines hand-selected and balanced lace with luxurious fabrics and delicately executed buttons and fittings. Delicate fabric and lace, a simple pattern, and fine sewing add up to a couture cami. Alexandra Armillas describes how she learned about couture lingerie and how you can make your own.
