Giselle knickers
The Giselle silk and lace knickers are a perfectly sweet confection, inspired by the delicacy and grace of the ballet. The cranberry red silk and fuchsia eyelash lace pair beautifully for a sweet holiday or Valentine's day look. But why limit yourself to a special occasion? Treat yourself to the daring red lingerie sets of the Firebird Collection for any day of the year!
Each pair of luxury knickers features a French lace appliqué laid over transparent beige illusion tulle and a lustrous stretch silk back. (If you've never worn silk knickers before, you're in for a real treat - they feel like a dream against the skin!) All of our bottoms have a cotton gusset liner and ultra-soft elastics.
Hand wash and lay flat to dry. Made in England. Models wear size S and L respectively.
