The Anaïs Undies by Closet Core Patterns combine style, comfort and coverage in a versatile underwear pattern designed for creating a wardrobe of everyday handmade briefs.

View A is a paneled brief with no side seams and good cheek coverage. Perfect for colour blocking and mixing fabrics, it can be made as either a high-rise brief or a low-rise bikini. View B offers a slightly cheekier fit and uses a doubled stretch mesh back to create a comfortable seamless finish designed to help eliminate visible panty lines.

All views are drafted both with and without seam allowances, allowing you to choose between fold-over elastic or plush-back elastic finishes.
