the big deal knickers...


Lately I've become obsessed with high waisted panties. I just find them more comfortable, flattering and the hold me in so I have a much smoother silhouette, especially since I love to wear fitted dresses and skirts. The only problem is that the majority of big knickers (in my price range) that are around are those nasty granny ones (which do have their uses but can make you feel less than desirable). For years knickers were teeny and unless you had a massive budget you were forced to wear teeny knickers with cute prints and pretty fabrics or wear big knickers that would resemble your aunts!

Thankfully though, more and more places are making and stocking sexy and luxurious high waisted knickers. From the bra makers Curvy Kate to the good auld Dunnes. But I don't think that's enough. Over the past few months I've been browsing the web to find more high waisted panties to add to my collection and the majority are unnaturally expensive! People seem to link high waisted knickers to either granny pants or super sexy lingerie that only come out when you are seducing your man. And super sexy lingerie happen to have a super sexy price tag that one cannot afford. But why are they so expensive and why do only exotic boutiques stock them? Why can I not find them in Penneys or La Senza on a daily basis (and not one every year or so).

Am I alone in this? Am I the only one who loves seductive high waisted knickers? Is that why they are not trickling down into high street shops at decent prices? Does this annoy anyone else or am I just a wee bit mad?

Rant over...
