Valentine’s day is coming this weekend, and whether you love it or hate it, you must admit having something adorable to lounge around in makes any day that much sweeter. So I present to you the madeleine mini bloomers, a free sewing pattern that you can download! It takes only a yard of fabric (along with some elastic and ribbon), and an hour or two of sewing to whip up these pretties.
These are no prim and proper Victorian bloomers, as you can see. They sit low on the waist, and are scandalously brief. The back view is particularly flattering. The waistband is sewn with two rows of elastic, and the legs are cinched with a length of ribbon. With just two pattern pieces, a beginner who is comfortable with elastic and buttonholes can make these.
The pattern is put together like any Burdastyle pattern. You just print out the sheets and tape them together to form the pattern. It’s multi-sized for XS to XL, which encompasses the usual sizes 0-18 in Colette Patterns’ range.

very cute, but just one criticism – 33 inch bust and 25 inch waist is not a size 0! that’s an inch too big on the waist and 1-3 inches too big on the bust. i’d love to use your patterns, but they’re too big.
so alter it–alterine is SUPER easy, especially to make something smaller.
You also have to remember that pattern sizes are a lot different than the sizes we buy at the store. Just because you wear a 0 from the mall doesn’t mean it is a zero in patterns. :)

I just finished them. They’re so cute! I used a blue calico I had on hand. Left off the bows since I didn’t have ribbon and just put elastic around the leg openings. I will alter the waistband for the next one; I made the first hem too big so there isn’t enough cover on my rump. Wont be wearing them outside so it isn’t an issue.
Thank you for the pattern. I’ve decided to put together a Steampuk outfit and these are the perfect undies.
So glad you like them!
please, I don’t understand how to make the waistband :(

Sarah, the pattern went down for a few hours when we updated our website, but it should be working now!
What material is used to make the bloomers in the picture?
I think it was a silk habotai (in pale pink).
Would using linen work for these?

Love these. Since I don’t wear trousers, out of desperation I’ve made myself some knee length bloomer out of flannel, with lace trim around the knees. You wouldn’t believe how warm and toasty they were in the wintertime at 7000 ft elevation with 3 ft of snow on the ground! Actually warmer than pants.

Thanks so much for making this pattern free. I’ve been making stuff up from your book and loving the detailed instructions. Do you happen to have this file untiled?

Soooo cute! I made a pair of high-waisted bloomers using a vintage pattern I picked up on ebay, and added my own lace and ribbon detailing. I’ve also made 30s-era side-button tap panties using vintage patterns. They looked just like something Carole Lombard or Ginger Rogers would have worn. My husband, who is a classic movie buff, loves me in vintage lingerie, and I’m happy to oblige by sewing what he likes. It adds so much more glamour than the modern panties which are boring by comparison. I won’t even mention the dreaded butt floss some call lingerie.

2. Where can I buy your book own. Budget? :) please.
I tried making these over the weekend. It was a miserable fail. They were too long in the leg and too short in the waist. I have a slight “pooch” and they hit way too low. The waistband was difficult and the elastic wouldn’t thread properly. I am going to try again and alter the pattern to hit higher. I like the idea but if you have a “pooch” not gonna be attractive!

Bloomers are a nice alternative to briefs or tap panties. They are easy to make and are very comfortable to wear, particularly under dresses or skirts, or just by themselves when lounging around the house. Adding ribbon detailing or lace trim around the legs makes them very feminine. You can do cuff or band legs. Both look sweet. I’ve made them in both cotton and satin.

How FANTASTIC these are! I’m currently shopping for Halloween costumes, and at 5’11″ barefoot, I’m finding everything to be ass-cheek short. These will be the perfect compliment under any skirted costume. And bless you for offering this pattern for FREE!!!
Cheers

I happen to have quite the tooshie and I was so pleased that your sizing was pretty accurate and the pattern flattered even my toosh. Thanks for the great pattern.
