High waist pants & matching bra!

24 replies

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 13:35

Hello!

Well my local HoF and Debenhams are truly rubbish apparantly. No underwear sets with high waist pants. None! Anyone know where to find these in real life? My size varies between 32D or DD and don't really want to buy underwear online. Pant size 12/14.

I'd ideally like them to be a colour but nude or black also acceptable. Ideally possible to buy separately so I can buy a couple of pants per bra iyswim.

Thanks fellow shoppers!

Should point out that I need to buy lots as size v different to previously. Preferably really nice styles at amazingly low prices haha. I love some of the Agent Provocateur bras- gorgeous.

OK, first things first, are you sure about your size? Have you measured according to this ?

The Charlotte set in the Parfait range by Affinitas is lovely.

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 13:56

Oh yes I am one of your recent converts so my new size is 100% accurate.

I was really surprised, but tesco have some nice bra's and matching knickers. I bought a 38f and matching knickers in pink, £6 for the bra and £3 for the knickers.

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 14:03

Were they high waist though? I am only buying high waist ones :-)

ProtectiveMother I only asked as you said that your measuremnets were the same as a poster on another thread who measures 31 and 39.5 There is no way those measurements equate to a 32D/DD.

You can buy the Parfait stuff on-line via quite a few sites, one has an ebay shop too which I've used.

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 14:08

I think those were similar to my measurements and strangely enough, 32D or DD is my size.

OK

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 14:15

I think the other poster has a very different shape of breast to mine. Will check a parfait site out thanks.

I think if you look on the fantadie website there is a bra and high waist pant set on

soaccidentprone · 07/09/2013 18:50

The tesco knickers are high waisted, and very stretchy and comfy!

ProtectiveMother · 07/09/2013 21:21

Do you know what the Tesco knickers are made from? Do you have the white or black ones on their website? Would love to know! Also are they big or small fitting as I am 12/14 and may order some! Thanks

I bought a pale pink bra and matching knickers. I'm pretty sure they are polyester with lace. this in pink. But they don't have the knickers online.

I bought the set just over a month ago from a humungous tesco and I think they were new in.

Mosman · 08/09/2013 11:34

You're not planning on twerking in them are you ?

daftdame · 08/09/2013 11:40

I just buy black, white / nude bras and a multi pack of black, white / nude high waist plain pants. The pants are cotton, the bras usually not but you often can get cotton bras.

Not very fashionista but look decent enough IMO (well maybe if I breathe in Grin)

soaccidentprone · 08/09/2013 11:40

Only in the privacy of my own homeGrin

cute kelly brook @ new look?

snowynight · 08/09/2013 13:25

These M&S Rosie for Autograph ones are gorgeous and no polyester.

ProtectiveMother · 08/09/2013 20:27

My friend always jokes that she would only buy underwear in M&S if she was shopping for her granny. She's funny.

No seriously, these lace ones are really nice. However I don't think they are high waisted enough. I want them to my belly button and I'm quite long in the body unlike the model.

Hight waisted knickers and matching bra

Panache Idina

ProtectiveMother · 09/09/2013 12:31

Thanks Pretty and Sorrel. Both lovely sets! :-)

OP posts:
SorrelForbes · 09/09/2013 13:07

The Idina looks a bit old fashioned in that pic but the balconette bra has a really nice retro look and the lace is very soft and pretty. I haven't tried the pants but they look comfy!
