Quick answer
Choose the Deanna Knickers if you prefer a classic high-waisted brief with a mid rise and high-cut legs for everyday wear. Choose the Jeanne Knickers if you want a vintage-inspired full brief with a high-cut waist and low leg lines, trimmed with a gentle elastic and optional bow.
Rise and leg line differences
The Deanna Knickers have a mid-rise waist and high-cut legs, inspired by 1990s lingerie shapes. This creates a longer torso line that sits at your natural waist without riding up. The Jeanne Knickers feature a high-cut waist and low leg lines, giving a retro silhouette that elongates the legs while providing full coverage at the back.
Elastic and trim details
Both styles use modal jersey knitted in Melbourne, but their trims differ. The Deanna uses a signature picot elastic that lies flat against the skin, ideal for seamless wear under fitted clothing. The Jeanne uses a gentle elastic trim with an optional bow, adding a decorative touch that may feel slightly more noticeable under very tight pants.
