I like it. I don't find thongs uncomfortable and I'm quite happy wearing bodies with poppers.

I can't decide whether she's tripped and fallen into one of theose macrame plant holders of the 70s and decided to make the best of it. Or whether it was a dare for dressed down Friday.

Either way i can't see me schlepping round Aldi in this. Not without a good thermal and a matching pair of 'kidney warmers' and cosy trousers.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon had to google and i would have been a toddler thank god lol

Blackmagicqueen · 03/11/2021 16:11

Would that be worn with jeans on top and a big long coat? Really struggling to understand it!

What sadist came up with a woollen thong?

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond

The front view doesn't really make it look more comfortable either.
Even the model looks fuming
Donotgogentle · 03/11/2021 16:14

I’d be expecting a bit more fabric for £268.

antsinyourpanta · 03/11/2021 16:25

I like the colour and it wouldnt be too bad if I could ignore the wedgie potential thong element of it...but I'm afraid I can't!🤣

antsinyourpanta · 03/11/2021 16:28

...oh and I don't think I've ever bought anything in that price bracket

A bloke. I bet it’s a bloke.

Its dry clean onlyConfused

Tomthumbsbigbum · 03/11/2021 16:58

I saw this too OP. It's almost sold out.

Imagine taking that to the dry cleaners. Crusty gusset comes to mind Grin

Udouhun · 03/11/2021 17:47

Ah sure it's grand. I'd wear it to mass.

Dbakl · 03/11/2021 17:54

Why is dry clean only making everyone 🤢?

I thought you wrote wooden instead of woollen! LOL!!!
Blackmagicqueen · 03/11/2021 18:13

@Dbakl 'Why is dry clean only making everyone 🤢?'

Probably because it is the equivalent of asking strangers to wash your worn thong! I also sense this may be worn alittle longer due to the dry cleaning need aswell...🤮

[quote Mercurial123]It's not a thong just high cut. I still like it.

Read the text - Thong bottom coverage !

Summersdreaming · 03/11/2021 20:47

There's just no need for a nice knitted jumper to involve yer fanny.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

Oh my goodness! One look at that thing makes me delighted i was a child of the 80's/90's!

You have probably blocked out all memories of Donna Karan and the Body.

Oh god this takes me back to the horror of "the body" and those bloody crotch poppers! Fumbling about in pub toilets trying to do them back up after a few drinks - nightmare.
WobblyLondoner · 03/11/2021 20:55

@TheDogsMother best me to it!

Hamsteronrollerblades · 03/11/2021 20:59

I have a long sleeved swimming suit … sometimes it rides up my bum a bit. This could be its friend - a bid to retro woollen knitted bathers.

schmalex · 03/11/2021 21:00

Surely you wear knickers underneath? It's a bodysuit, not underwear.
I like it anyway!
