Description Style, comfort and coverage in one tidy package, the Anaïs Undies are a versatile pattern designed to create a wardrobe of underwear you'll be delighted to wear all day long. View A is a paneled brief with no side seam and good cheek coverage. Perfect for colour blocking or mixing and matching fabrics, it can be made in a high-rise or low-rise bikini style. View B is a slightly cheekier style designed to eliminate visible panty lines by doubling the back in mesh to create a highly comfortable and seamless effect. All views have been drafted with and without seam allowances, so they can be made with your choice of fold-over or plush back elastic.

They should contain at least 5% spandex, lycra or elastane, and have a minimum of 50% stretch. We suggest cotton spandex, bamboo/rayon spandex blends, stretch modal, swim lycra, stretch lace and stretch mesh. For breathability and comfort, use cotton, rayon or modal jersey for the crotch gusset. View A can be made using a variety of fabrics but we suggest sticking to light-mid weight knits for this style. You can use the same fabric for front, side and back, or have fun with fabric or colour mixing. We especially love stretch mesh or stretch lace along the side panel for a bit of peekaboo skin. Due to the seamless design of View B, the back panel must be made with stretch mesh, although you can use any of our suggested fabrics for the front panel. If you'd like to make an all mesh version, cut a double layer of mesh for the front if you'd like more coverage, or a single layer for less coverage.
