No Show Brief PDF Pattern

3,5/5 stars I've been eyeing this pattern for a while and decided to go for it last week! I honestly don't mind visible panty lines, buut I wanted to try something new. Instructions are ok, they provide the information you need to finish each step. There's illustrations and photos provided for one step. Constructions is mostly straightforward. I found one step to be confusing, which is when you attach the gusset to the back. The instructions calls for a 6 mm seam allowance, when sewing the gusset to the front you should use a very narrow SA but no mention of what that means. There is a video tutorial, in which she does mentions 1/8 inch which I feel like that could’ve been added to the instructions? The video tutorial is not mentioned in the pattern, only on their website. There's not elastic, so extremely quick to finish. I've already made 5-6 pairs lol. Adjustments were needed to get my final fit, I like my panties to reach my belly button. I choose my size according to my hip measurement, but felt like it was too loose at my waist and not high enough, so I had to make adjustments to the height (front) and lower them in the back as well as making the waist smaller. The pattern includes layered files, A4 and A0. No projector file. I edited the A0 to have the pieces unfolded. Why this is not a 5-star pattern for me: * They only provide measurements in the imperial system. It's annoying, not the biggest deal but it's enough to steer me away from buying a pattern. I know, I can just google the metric equivalents. It does feel lazy, not providing that in the pattern already. -1 star * Good pattern, but I was also expecting more. I don't know what, but it does feel underwhelming. -0,5 star

The trick with this pattern is to find the correct fabric. Finding a knit with 75% stretch which does roll is a mission. Have not been able to make a pair yet without the waistband piece. But the concept is great. Next try will be to use fusible elastic on the leg openings which will give the illusion of no show but will have elastic
