Flocked Mesh Fabric
Flocked stretch mesh fabric would be a gorgeous choice for a statement side-panel on your Kapunda Undies (or you could even make the whole undies from flocked mesh like these)! The flocked designs often have a soft feel like a velveteen and many of the options below are 4-way stretch.

Stretch Lace Fabric
If you're looking for lace fabric to pair with your Kapunda Undies, it's good to keep in mind that you'll need to be looking for at least 2-way stretch fabric, but ultimately 4-way stretch would be best! You could use the mesh as side panels or the main fabric, either alone or with another fabric behind it.
Shine Trimmings & Fabrics in Australia has a number of 4-way stretch lace fabrics available including this abstract lace fabric (which I have ordered), and this quite floral lace in a plethora of different shades.

Stretch Velvet Fabric
The high-waisted Kapunda Undies remind me of vintage underwear, especially with the side panels. Stretch velvet (although generally entirely polyester), could be a great choice for some special Kapunda Undies. You could pair a velvet front and back with a sheer mesh side panel (like these undies) or make the entire undies from velvet (like this)! As always, 4-way stretch will give you the most comfortable undies, but if you love a 2-way stretch velvet, consider making the side panels 4-way stretch as a compromise!
