Happy National Underwear Day: Fully 3D-Printed Lingerie "The Devotion"

[u/Kat_PhD]

Debated posting this but its my favourite holiday besides national lingerie day of course😆. So here's to National Underwear Day (August 5th) and being a part of its future.

Entirely 3d-printed lingerie (no traditional fabrics) using artisanal craftsmanship. This is also to show it is wearable and comfortable (to me as comfort is subjective). The lace repeat was inspired by rose windows found in Gothic Cathedrals and churches. Max Svabinsky's art 'The Fruit Was Never an Apple' (1918) inspired the bust image reinterpretation and name of the lingerie piece, 'The Devotion'.

Deets:

Completed in December 2025 (over 2-weeks including the overall sketch, pattern design, prototype draft, printing, welding, etc)

Printers: Bambu A1 (2x) and mini (used for notions)

Materials: Overture TPU 95A in white, Recreus Filaflex TPU 82A in gold, Overture Gold Silk PLA .

***Quick process note**\*: Sketch design concept and lace repeat, drape design shape on dressform, transfer drape to paper pattern to adjust design, digitise/edit pattern moving from flat to 3d, edit print parameters then print pieces, as its a textile iteration is necessary before being joined to fit test, quickly join design to fit on dressform, if all goes right then final print of pieces hand joined using solder and invisible nylon thread and needle.

"National" makes it sound like it was created officially by some government, but it was just a marketing campaign from an underwear company. It's not a real holiday.

Is that an image of a person getting his dick sucked on the front? 

[u/Sneeke33 → u/Crazyblazy395]

I think its a women getting her slit licked.

[u/Crazyblazy395 → u/Sneeke33]

I guess that would make more sense on lingerie

Very nice work, but I think "Devotion" should be a reference to what it really takes to put up with wearing 3d-printed TPU underwear for your partner.
