Or Stretch & Sew.
And...another word of caution.....Jalie patterns are also fun
looking.......but their panties are sized to fit knats! On even my
slightest little young skater girls (without any buttocks)...the
panties are too "French -cut" and leave the bottom way too bare!
So, sometimes I use their designs but always have to put in a Stretch
& Sew or KS panty.
I order them from Canada so maybe those gals are comfortable with that
brief-brief....or maybe it's the style there so they are used to it.
Don't know.
