Unlike original 1950s knickers, which were often cut for very cinched waists and fuller hips, these high-waisted beauties feature a cleverly shaped satin tummy panel that’s narrower at the top. This allows the soft powermesh to stretch more easily across the waist without compromising the classic shape, making them flattering and forgiving all at once.

These knickers are primarily made from powermesh so are stretchy.

Zoe ★★★★★

The peach satin is such a pretty vintage shade, and the powermesh panel underneath honestly makes it feel like I’m not wearing anything restrictive. It smooths everything out without digging in, even after a full day of sitting at my desk.

Eva ★★★★★

The high waist sits just right and the powermesh keeps everything smooth without squeezing too tight. I wore these under a fitted dress all day and they didn't roll down or bunch up, which is usually my biggest complaint with this style. The peach satin catches the light beautifully, too.

Lucy X. ★★★★★

The peach satin has this lovely vintage sheen that catches the light, and the powermesh back panel keeps everything in place without digging in. I wore them under a fitted dress all day and forgot I had them on.
