The Median Knickers by Sophie Hines are high waist, full coverage undies. View one has super simple, classic seamlines, and view two has geometric design lines that are perfect for color blocking, sheer panels, or trim insertion. The crotch is cut wide to always stay in place, is fully lined, and uses a great trick to enclose all the seams.
If you’re new to Sophie’s patterns, she has a variety of other lingerie patterns that come in an inclusive range of sizes and loads of useful tips in her blog collaboration with The Closet Core Patterns for adaptive garment sewing.
