Brilliant Black

BACK IN STOCK!
An absolute wardrobe staple. Black is a basic we can't be without in our knicker drawer or stock room, and so black is one of the very few colours that we aim to have in stock all the time. Always soft, always smooth and always with a VPL reducing scalloped edge, due to the way we source fabrics, we do get different black laces in from time to time so the pattern of the lace in the pants might vary slightly from the image here.
Make Monday to Friday that bit easier - there's a £9 saving on five pairs if you buy our Working Week Pants Pack

I love these, they are just the style and fabric I like. Pretty but feel like built to last!
CS from South-west England on Jul 15, 2014
Absolutely brilliant. Soft, comfortable and fit true to size (usually I got up a size in pants compared to everything else). Unlike other reviewers, I found that the gusset was fine for me, but I agree that they do go up the bum a bit at the back, particularly when walking fast. This bothered me for about half a second until I released I could barely feel it - much less noticeable than a thong, for instance.

Wonderful knickers! Look great, incredibly comfortable and don't move - in a good way.
I am a dress size 10 with size 8 hips and I bought the size 8 which fit perfectly.
I am intending to order some more now!

I nearly broke the 'next to Godliness' rule with these new wondercrackers, but I remained a good girl and took them off after the first day RELUCTANTLY.

My first pair of Aimee pants were the Brilliant Black. I was trying to work out the right size, and got these in the larger of the two sizes I thought I might be. But it was a little too large. Won't stop me wearing them, but I'm just always going to buy the smaller size from now on (which, by the way, fits perfecty). Amazingly comfortable, even for a long hike on Salisbury Plain - the lace is really soft, the gusset substantial enough so I don't feel 'exposed'. All round fab.

I was really excited about these pants - they looked really pretty when they arrived. I loved the packaging.
Unfortunately I got a size smaller than I normally am because the other reviews said they come up quite big - I should have got my actual size as they are a bit too small :(
Hopefully will lose some weight soon so I can wear them as they are a bit 'friendly' and don't go up far enough at the front in the smaller size (as would be expected - I'm confident the proper size would be just right).

Also this was probably just me being silly, but I thought the pants would have a layer of material under the lace from the pictures, which, as I see now, are that way to show the full pattern of the lace. This only attracted me a little more because they looked like they might provide some 'tummy sucking in' but it's not a problem they don't. Just in case anyone else reads the pictures wrong.

However I love the idea behind this company and how they operate, and will definitely continue to stock up these pants as and when I can, trying different styles too.

Don't know if anyone else has found this, but I'm 4 months pregnant and these pants are perfect! They sit beneath my (still quite small) bump and with not having an elasticated waistband they aren't digging into my expanding belly :o) will be interesting to see how long I can stay in my regular size.

I'm a bit disappointed as I'd love to have loved these pants. I suppose I should have invested more and bought one of the other styles which look a bit more comfy, as these are too flimsy around the gusset area and the cotton gusset lining is in the wrong place and chafes. I'm afraid they will join those other pants in the drawer that get worn in emergencies only and make me feel guilty. On the plus side they appear well made compared to mid-range high street brands, the fabric is soft, and they are true to size so don't cut in at all. So sad I really can't afford to spend £18 to find out if another style will work for me.

As always, speedy delivery, super comfy, gorgeous, quality pants. These pants are such an excellent fit and are made from a lovely, super stretchy and springy lace which makes them really comfy to wear and they don't move around - I can do star-jumps in these without any uncomfortable dislodging needed afterwards! They really are exceptional pants.
Thank you Samia, Becky and the rest of the team.
