Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers: Style and Fit Guide

Quick answer

For a flattering fit, choose your usual size in the Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers and adjust the 6 metres of satin cord lacing for a customised feel. Style them as a statement piece with high-waisted bottoms or under a sheer skirt.

Why the Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers stand out

The Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers are a limited edition piece made from deadstock lace from the Hopeless Lingerie archives. This means each pair is unique and supports sustainable fashion by using leftover materials. The corset back design with satin cord lacing allows you to adjust the fit, making it versatile for different body shapes.

The gentle elastic trim ensures comfort without digging in, while the intricate lace adds a touch of elegance. These knickers are designed and made in-house in Melbourne, Australia, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship.

How to choose the right size

The Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers are available in multiple sizes. Because the lace has minimal stretch and the fit is adjustable via the corset back, you can generally stick with your usual size. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, as the lacing allows you to tighten the waist if needed.

Check the size guide on the product page for exact measurements. The adjustable nature of the knickers means they can accommodate slight variations in waist and hip measurements.

Styling ideas for everyday wear and special occasions

For a subtle peek of lace, wear the Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers under a high-waisted midi skirt or wide-leg trousers. The satin cord lacing can be tied in a bow for a decorative detail that shows above the waistband.

For a bolder look, pair them with a matching bralette or bodysuit from the Aurelia collection. The wave lace pattern adds texture and visual interest, making it suitable for date nights or lingerie photography.

During warmer months, style them under a sheer mesh or lace skirt for a layered effect that balances coverage and allure.

Caring for your lace knickers

To preserve the delicate deadstock lace and satin cord, hand wash your Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting; instead, lay them flat to dry away from direct sunlight.

The gentle elastic trim will last longer if not exposed to high heat, so skip the dryer and iron. Store them flat or rolled to prevent the lace from snagging.

Decision rules for the Aurelia Wave Lace Knickers

• Fit rule: Choose your usual size; the corset back lacing allows you to adjust the waist up to 2 inches tighter or looser. The adjustable lacing compensates for minor size variations.
• Styling rule: Wear them as a high-waisted statement piece under sheer fabrics or with matching Aurelia separates for a coordinated look. The wave lace pattern works best when partially visible.
• Care rule: Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry, and avoid heat to preserve the deadstock lace and elastic trim. Proper care extends the life of this limited edition piece.
