Proper French knickers

8 replies

Having passed through sockopalypse (when you have to get rid of all your socks and star again from scratch), I'm ready to have a go at my knicker drawer. I'd like some proper, silky, loose French knickers. Not the polyester lace wedgie horrors currently being marketed as such in most quarters. Where do I find such things please?

Watching with interest!

Watching too - they sound like exactly what I'm looking for

M&S silk ones. I buy in the sale.

Just had a peek at the M& S ones, they look pretty. However.....how do they affect the look of clothes over the top? Don’t they get all tucked up and give a terrible VPL?

I would only wear them under loose clothes or summer skirts etc.
It’s more difficult to wear them in winter as they would show under tights/skinny jeans. Then I wear the fitted silk knickers.
I do have some M&S pale pink French knickers from years ago in cotton n lace that are fantastic for summer clothes as they don’t show through paler colours.

teta I was sort of imagining myself lounging around drinking coffee and eating macaroons, but as far as clothes go I like wide cut trousers so I think I could wear them in to winter.

Ah I see. Might stick to my M&S Rosie silk Brazilians Grin

Oh I love them. Might get myself a pair come payday
