The best! by Lucy P
Your pants are the best and your project is truly inspirational, it is a pleasure to support your work and I keep singing your praises and hopefully driving some more sales your way!
Beautiful idea, beautiful pants, but maybe not for me. :( by DLH
I bought a pair of the 'Elephant Free Ivory' Aimee Shorts after many weeks of agonising over the choice and, quite frankly, delighting in the wonderful idea behind this amazing company. The pants arrived in a beautiful little box (though I did blush picking them up from the post room in our block of flats - though I doubt the Custodian noticed the label!), wrapped in tissue paper, and the pants themselves more than lived up to the image on screen. Unfortunately - and I'm not sure if it's just the cut of this particular pair, or if I should have got a different size - these pants just don't seem to work for me, which made me very sad! To put it delicately, they ride up into places I'd rather they didn't, which takes quite some getting used to! I wonder if perhaps I should have been optimistic and gone for a size smaller to stop them shifting around so much. All that said, I've still gone for 4/5 stars, because they are a very well-made product and the concept behind them just makes me smile every time I think about it! If anyone has any suggestions for a solution to my, um, 'pant problem', I'd be very grateful, as I'd love to find a pant from WMYP that fits and that I can buy lots, and lots, and lots of...!
LOVE this company by Ali
Great idea, great fit, thinking of signing up to the 'pants for a year' plan. Makes me smile so much knowing I have actually done something good by wearing pretty knickers! How easy is that to do? BUY THEM NOW!!!!!!
I bought some for my mother-in-law... by Marysia
I am not a thin girl and it's really nice to have a pretty pair of knickers that don't roll down and sit right under my belly accentuating the fat. These are the kind of knickers that don't do that. There is no VPL with these and the cut is really flattering. In fact I loved mine so much I have ordered a pair in a smaller size for mother-in-law as a little thank you gift because she fed me hot whiskey with honey and lemon when I was sick.
by Jules
A friend bought me a pair of these beauties for my birthday and all I can say is that everything about these pants makes me HAPPY! ETHICAL, EXQUISITE and EXCEPTIONAL!
best pants ever by vicky munton
These are so good I now own 17 pairs!!!! Got my first set towards the end of last year and then 3 working week sets during January Sale!! They are the comfiest undies ever and look stunning too. They have stayed put and not ridden up anywhere during an intensive Body Combat Class and whilst out on site soil sampling. Love them and thanks to Cherry Healy for making me aware you exist! x x
No compromises by Ruth
Thank you! These are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn (today is Lucky Heather day). No longer do I have to compromise. These are both sexy and a joy to wear. Plus the added benefit of no VPL. Thank you WMYP and Hawa for making MY pants.
New Year - New Pants! by Hilary Hagan
My New Years resolution for 2013 was to overhaul my underwear drawer so that if the worst should happen & I was unlucky enough to be run over by a bus, I would be well turned out in the pants department! I have never really been one for elegant pants; being a very practical person, they performed their function to the best of their ill-fitting ability & that was it. How things have changed! After an internet search led me to WMYP, my life is starting to be transformed! Gone are the old droopy drawers & I am now the extremely proud owner of 4 pairs of simply marvellous pants which fit perfectly & are an absolute joy to wear. The colours are vibrant & make me smile just looking at them. I am converted & will most definitely order more. Why did I wait years to experience the power of proper well made pants? Thank you Becky & the rest of your team. x
Trying them out by Lizzie
I have been following you guys on twitter for ages and I love the idea behind your company but I haven't been a fan of 'short' knickers before. But I thought to myself 'buy one pair and see if you like them'. I got a blue bra ages ago and I didn't have a matching pair of knickers so I got the 'something blue' pair and although they don't match perfectly they are good enough. I have been wearing them all day and my they are comfy! I haven't tried running in them yet but I think they would be ok. Thanks to Batol and her ace sewing skills :-)
YIPPEE! SALE DAY! by ginnie
Hoora! I've just ordered a couple more pairs of your fabulous pants before all the sale ones were gone! Result! I've ordered a pair for my best friend - I've been going on and on about how wonderful WMYP are and now she's going to find out for herself!
Cheering up in hospital by Helen
I'm writing to tell you how your pretty knickers cheered me up recently in hospital. I was in before Christmas for a gynae operation (the joys of giving birth to very large babies!) Didn't go quite to plan so I had to go home catheterised over Christmas.
On the 28th I had to return to the ward and have the catheter removed. I then spent the next nine hours trying to 'go'. Unfortunately unsuccessfully.
I am normally very glamourous (air stewardess for the last 24years), so like dressing up and wearing matching undies. For each of my hospital 'trial' days I wore my prettiest knickers as I had to have them on show whilst my bladder was being scanned by the nurses. It gave me some comfort that even if my 'bits' weren't working, I still looked fabulous down there!!
So not your usual thank you letter, but THANK YOU for making me feel better over such a horrid time
Smiling by Mandy Drake
Have spent the day smiling knowing I am wearing a pair of lovely pants. And wanting to tell people......
I've thrown all my old pants away! by Caroline S
I'm so in love with your pants, I have thrown away all my others! Thank you for your hard work, your ethical outlook and your beautiful pants. I'm looking forward to seeing what new styles and colours are to come.
Adore the pants, and love what you do and how you do it!! by Sarah J K
Thank you so much for sending my order so quickly!! Many thanks to Emily, and to everyone else who helped with this. I'm definitely spreading the word on Who Made Your Pants? . I love the lovely product, the ethos, and how you care about your customers.
Pants you can run a marathon in AND take on a romantic weekend away ;) by Poppy
I LOVE these - comfy AND pretty and with the addded bonus of knowing they are ethical (and pretty did I mention pretty?), have signed up to Year of Pants & am already getting excited about what I will get this month!
cracking undercrackers! by Jenni
Now, I have read the reviews of these pants, and was not convinced that any pair of pants could be as good as the wearers suggested. I thought that the women had been swayed by the gorgeous, double-hitting ethicalness of the pants - the workers co-op plus upcycled fabric. But I like to make up my own mind, so I thought - £12.50, that's not so much cash to spend, and if they're half as good as the reviews, I'm happy. I ordered them on Tuesday lunchtime, and they arrived at work on Thursday morning. I shared my knicker-based joy with my colleagues who were v impressed by the packaging and admired my new drawers, which are beautifully made and look delish in the tissue wrapping paper. I shared my ethical joy at my handmade keks, and we all delighted in the info card about the women knicker makers (with special thanks to Sacdiya) who contributed to my new knicks. All these marvellous women I work with said - well, the proof of the undergarment is in the wearing - we'll see how you walk in tomorrow... Today, I wore my new pants to work. I taught Drama for 5 hours in them, I went to the gym in them, I cooked dinner in them, and I shared a cheeky glass or two with some friends in them.
These pants are top banana. I have told EVERYONE who asked (and there were many) as well as several who had no idea of the joy I was about to unleash on them, about my new pants. They fit perfectly, even though I am a size 13. They have been so comfy that I haven't really noticed I'm wearing them. They've not dug in across my curvy womanly thigh, and neither have they gone on a wander causing me to try and unsubtly remove a wedgie whilst simultaneously trying to persuade 28 14yo's to try and explore the idea of Horror through the medium of mime... (I did this last week btw) They were all delighted, and I hope to have persuaded a few to try them for themselves. I cannot believe I have to go back to my normal, slightly uncomfortable and unattractively cut pants tomorrow. I have even rung my dad and added 'whomadeyourpants' pants to my Christmas present list. He is disappointed to hear you only make ladies pants, because I impressed him with my rave review. Sacdiya and friends, thank you so much - my new undercrackers are indeed crackers, and I am so going to buy some more. I love these pants.
Not for me by Jennifer Vaudin
I love the idea behind Who Made Your Pants. My favourite ethical knickers (a generous bikini cut organic fair trade cotton with a touch of elastane and strong colours) are no longer available, so I thought I'd give these a go. I really, really, really wanted to like them but I don't. I hate the seam up the front - smooth sides are not enough compensation, I am forever having to pull them out of uncomfortable places they've got stuck (despite the generous sizing), and I am just not used to being constantly aware of my underwear. I feel more obese and unsexy in these than any of my other knickers, including plain full brief firm control jobs - they remind me of paper knickers for hospital use. Less important but still disappointing was that I wasn't able to find out who made my pants!
Note from Who Made Your Pants? - we contacted Jennifer about this review and were very pleased that she liked us even if she didn't get on with our pants - the central seam does appear to be a love it or hate it thing. We are investigating the issue about not being able to find out who made her pants as this is a fundamental promise we make. - so far it looks like a gremlin in our website relating to the old 'search by date to find out who was working' functionality
Welcome to pants in 3D by Kate
Yes, it's true! These pants are cut for people that live in three dimensions. No two-dimensional front-and-back-piece-hastily-sewn-together. As a result, these pants live and move naturally -- no pulling, sagging, muffin-tops, or elastic digging into your flesh. Woohoo! Embrace your third dimension!
One pair is not enough! by Caroline Spurry
Since I bought my Pirate Pinks last week, and wore them for the first time, I actually crave them every day. More than chocolate (and that's saying something). Normally, I HATE laundry, but I've been rushing through washes in order to have my PPs ready to wear again as soon as possible. Therein lies more good news, not only are they GORGEOUS, SEXY and COMFY, they also wash beautifully, and the startlingly bright pink colour has not run or faded. I'm writing on a Sunday, and I forced myself not not wear them today for a comfy Sunday indoors, but to wait and wear them to brighten up an otherwise depressing Monday morning. I have something to look forward to tomorrow- really the best pants I ever wore. Next payday, I will be buying more, and will try to persuade my Wonderful Husband to buy the pants for a year idea. A new pair every month would just be thrilling, and make me feel like a beautiful woman, rather than an over-worked mum. For me, these pants are all about how I feel wearing them, young, sexy, feminine and, of course, comfortable. The ethical way the company works makes me feel good that I'm contributing to the empowerment of other women too. Seriously, one pair of WMYP is not enough.
really pleased by Claire
I purchased the Welsh pair for my girlfriend and she loves them, I'm super chuffed I got the sizing right and grateful to the staff who helped me choose. And I felt good - ethical practice, ethical purchase but no compromise on quality or fashion.
Elephant-free ivory by janette webber
I now have four pairs of Who Made Your Pants and three fit perfectly no riding up or falling down. I bought the Elephant Free Ivory in the same size as the others (14) but they aren't as stretchy and for me they aren't such a good fit. I will buy more pairs as the others are superb and I feel great in them just not in that design
Buy a size smaller by Ros
Pretty pants, good design and ethical, on the large size so go for a size smaller
Converted! by Helen
I've just received two more pairs of pants for my birthday from my sister!! The heather pair and a pair of black ones. I love them, I'm a complete convert!
I've even been into M&S today trying to find a bra to match the Heather pair!
Going down well! by Ginnie Gledhill
I've been a widow for ten years, and during that time got used to wearing bog-standard, boring, unattractive cotton knickers until the elastic wore out and the colour became a sort of universal sad grey. In the past few months, however, I've met the most delightful and lovely boyfriend and suddenly my knicker drawer was calling out for a revamp. A friend of mine recommended WMYP and I have to say I haven't looked back. The knickers are pretty, sexy and feminine; they make me feel pretty again and they are very much appreciated. Can I say 'they go down very well' without being misunderstood?
All at sea by Susannah
I bought 3 pairs of your pants a few months ago, and am very delighted with them.
If they were just ethically made, or very pretty, or practical, or actual fitted properly, they would be better than any of the other knicks in my drawer. But to manage all four is fairly awesome.
I live on the west coast of Scotland and work at sea, so have a fairly no-frills lifestyle. However, I have a secret love of very pretty underwear (it's nice to know you're looking lovely under the oilskins in the rain...). So really, I couldn't be happier with having found whomadeyourpants.
I don't think I'll be buying any more right now as (annoyingly) I had just shelled out on some not-so-well-fitting, not-so-pretty, undoubtedly sweatshop numbers just before I found you. However, I'll know exactly where to come when they fall to bits within six months, as expected...
Lace doesn't itch! by Emma Gedge
I heard about your pants from a friend and when I looked I thought "soooooo pretty, but lace - sad face :( - Lace is itchy" As a confirmed pants-o-holic (seriously, I have about 80 pairs) I did want to try them but I am on a long weightloss road so I promised myself some at my next stone milestone. And then came the sample sale! And I couldn't resist! So I bought some! How comfortable, how pretty, how beautifully fitting...I adore my pants! I'm torn between keeping them for special and wearing them all the time. I WANT to wear them all the time...I want all my pants to be these ones (it might take me a while to replace 80!). They don't ride up, they don't itch, they look gorgeous, they're there but I don't have to pull them into place all the time...it's like wearing a pretty cloud! Thank you for the loveliest pants I've ever found!
My good pants day by Clare
Pants and I have a bad history. I have always had loads of them - because none of them have ever worked. I have had g-strings that dig into my hips, minis that provide a constant wedgie and briefs that look ugly and ride up anyway. At the age of 37 and aware that I tug knickers out of my bum more than anyone else I see I went on a mission to get some that worked. Appearances were not an issue. I found myself buying bigger and bigger sizes and ended up with size 22 knickers that fitted best round my hips but were baggy round my thighs. Thankfully I found whomadeyourpants but didn't want to commit to spending so much on yet another pair that was unlikely to fit. Becky set out to ensure I had my first "good pants day". She persuaded me to go for the size 14 that I am normally. The pants are unlike any other I've had. The style means they sit neatly at the top of the bum but they don't shift around at all (I have thoroughly tested them doing DIY and chasing toddlers about). That is the best bit. But somehow as well as that they are just beautiful. I haven't bought enough to see me through the week yet but I will have to soon because going back to any of my other (many) options makes me want to weep and I spend the whole day pining for my whomadeyourpants pants. These women really know their pants.
Comfy and luxurious - winning combination! by Yvette
I have 2 of these pants, and hope to buy many many more in the years to come!
Pants that go the distance by Kate D
I love these pants. They are decadent, luxurious, ethical, beautifully-made and unbelievably comfortable. They are undetectable under clothes (always a good thing) to the point where they aren't even noticeable under Lycra (I wore a pair when I ran a marathon - THAT'S how comfortable they are). They are the great all-rounder pants: pretty and practical at the same time. Wonderful. A big thank you to the women of whomadeyourpants.
These pants are great by Sarah B
So, having bought a pair of Who Made Your Pants a couple of months ago, I loved them so much that I have promised myself that every payday I will treat myself to another pair. My latest purchase is Strawberries and Cream and they are a gorgeous pink colour. Like all the other pants here, they are a comfortable fit, perfect for under jeans and just generally lovely.
Super service - and yes I do know who made my pants by G. Cole
We already know how good the pants are so let's talk about the service. My pants were despatched less than an hour after ordering. They arrived the next day beautifully packed and with the lovely addition of a chatty newsletter. Not only that but a leaflet showing me information about who made my pants was also included. So now I know exactly who made my pants
Iridescent pink and blue . . . by Alice
I was shy about such gorgeous pants at first - as if wearing them would send out "signals". Then I read a great post by Becky about just that issue. Pants are for us to enjoy, nothing else! :P I now own 8 pairs of pants of various colours and they're amazing! They're so beautiful that I grin at them even when I go to the loo. They're expensive, but worth it knowing where the money goes. My favourites are Pirate Pink, 80's and Bonfire! A word to anyone like me who previously just had nice sloppy M&S pants with elastic at the top and bottom that covered your whole bum. If you like them, go UP a size not down. I thought WhoMadeYourPants weren't comfy until I tried the bigger ones - now I know they're lovely. It's different for everyone I guess!
The only pants I now own are Whomadeyourpants by Rosie
That pretty much sums it up. These pants are so good I have got rid of all my other pants. They now are the standard bar for pants against which all others are measured, and all others fall short of. You have given me one area of my life I don't now have to worry about, and the incredibly reasonable prices of your pants seem to little for that! Thank you x
super power pants for super women by Welsh women in another country
Just fab! Forget them when you are wearing them. Smile when you put them on and take them off. Thank you ladies - you rock!
How many purchases exceed expectations? by Ezra's mum
Great fit; beautiful fabric; a real hint of luxury. All this and an ethical company. What's not to like?
Beautiful, comfy AND ethical by Janette Webber
I wasn't sure about the style of these pants, thought they'd go up my bottom but no - really comfortable so far (had them on for several hours)and so beautiful.
I love your pants by Frances Demuth
Last night my boyfriend was faffing in the supermarket which means when I got home I had to RUN out to my zumba class- no time to change from your beautiful basic black pants to some customary cotton ones for exercising. I was a little concerned (as I ran to the gym) about doing a very sweaty, aerobic-y dance class in lovely lacy pants. I am converted. Quite apart from the no VPL on my gym shorts your pants did not ride, slip, chafe or go up my bum as the customary cotton pants tend to do while I shake my funky zumba stuff. Seriously, this is a testament to the awesome power of your knickers.
So thank you for making such excellent, hard wearing, dependable, sexy, practical and ethical knickers.
Fantastic Pants, Fantastic Values! by Carol C
Congratulations to you and all of the team who not only produce fantastic pants but also live and work according to fantastic values. A real inspiration. I am sure it is this that make your pants so good to wear!
by Sarah B
After a friend kept raving about Who Made Your Pants, I decided to buy myself a pair as a post exam treat. I ordered Elephant Free Ivory and they arrived today. When I got home this evening I tried them on. They are fantastic, so comfy and lovely and pretty. I wanted to spend the evening wearing just them and nothing else - which would have been quite interesting for the neighbours seeing as I don't have curtains on all the rather large windows at home. I'm going to have to buy some more now, pants will never be the same again!
pants that put the men back in menopause ;-) by organicgran
Just bought my second pair of your beautiful pants. Once again it felt wonderfully self indulgent to order them and pick them up immaculately packaged from the place they had been lovingly and ethically made. The only person more in love with them than me is my husband .... they give a 50 year old Granny a new boost of self confidence just at the time your hormones are draining you of any you had left. Thank you xxx
Having a GOOD pants day by Dr Liz
Ordered on Monday, after reading Becky's article via "Vagenda" via Twitter. Amazed to find a lovely package in my letter box yesterday - so quick! And today, I am completely in love with my pants. (Chocolate Lime Aimee shorts) I am most of the way through a day working in a hot GP surgery, and would normally be longing for the time i can get home and take off tights and release my bum from the death grip of my usual undies... but today, my botty feels comfy, and stylish, and ethical to boot! I will now pledge to remove all bum munching, saggy and unloveable pants from my drawer... and save up for a full set of ethical undies! I do have one suggestion... would you consider branching out into "bigger knickers" - longer shorts style? I have to confess, I do love something that covers my whole botty and the top of my thighs! It would be nice if this style could be stylish, not frumpy... are you up to the challenge? Thank you once again. Oh, and you have also provided the best answer to what to get my sister in law for her birthday!
Short and sweet! by Jean C
I love 'em!
Sweeter than Chocolate Limes by Kate Harper
I want to tell the world about my 'Sweet Like Chocolate Limes' pants, but I think strangers would find it very odd if I came up to them and started rhapsodising about my knickers, so I shall do it here!
Firstly, can I say how lovely it is to receive such a beautifully presented pair of pants through the post, wrapped in tissue with obvious care? I love the fact that I can read about the people behind my pants and I also adore the fact that on each pair there is a label telling me exactly who made my pants! On first sight, I can say that the photo on the site does not do these justice. The shape is right and the brown is pretty good, but they are so much more than this, with an underlying colour of scintillating lime, which makes them even more special and unique. The fabric feels expensive and luxurious, with a lovely drape in the hand, and unlike some lacy pants that tear at the first tug, they are pretty robust for everyday wear. There are no side seams, so they are really comfortable and this also means that they sit beautifully on the skin. The coverage is generous - none of this feeling that you have to keep tugging them up and they are true to size. They also wash and drip dry very easily and quickly and don't lost their shape.
As for the price, many people will think twice about spending that amount on a pair of pants, but consider this - how many pairs of pants do you have that you can put on and never think about until you take them off again, that look like they cost at least twice the price and are so well made, by someone you could visit? They will not wear out quickly, unlike cheap, sweat-shop multipacks. They are happy pants, not only because you will feel happy wearing them, but also because you will be happy about the conditions in which they were made, and also be assured that the person who made them would have been smiling and laughing with her colleagues as she made them. Worth every penny and more. So can I shout out - "I LOVE MY PANTS!!!"
I feel pretty, oh so pretty..... by HannieLou
I love pants. It's no secret, I love pants. I aim to buy pants around the world, I buy them as a souvenir when I go on holiday and I buy them at home in the UK when I am feeling sad or if I just fancy a treat.
Then one fateful day I discovered Who Made Your Pants and I was overwhelmed with glee at these beautiful pants made by beautiful real women. I love the honesty, I love the cause, I love the fit of them and I love the colours. In fact, I can't say a word wrong. If you love pants and if you love being a woman then Who Made Your Pants is the number one place to buy your underwear. I'm the girl who has a many many number of pants have never had a pair that fit so perfectly and so comfortably and I am proud to wear them as much as the women who made them and I am proud that they are made in Britain alongside bringing cultures and skills together. I congratulate Becky and the lovely ladies for making me and my bum happy. You are true angels. x
Sold. For life! by Kim Willis
I now look at all the other pants in my underwear drawer in disdain, thinking about how thoughtless and ignorant I've been, buying up 'bargains' without a second thought for their history. I am now the proud owner of one pair of whomadeyourpants - and they are without doubt the princess pants in a drawer full of paupers! They arrived a mere day or two after I ordered them, top marks for speedy delivery.
Ridiculously comfortable, stylish and sexy. No 'dig in' around the waist which I loathe about most pants. They are more expensive than I'd usually pay for pants, or I'd rush out to buy one in every colour, but I have made myself a promise. I will never again buy cheap pants. So although I will now buy pants less often, the ones I will buy will be from whomadeyourpants and I am looking forward to slowly converting my underwear drawer into an ethical sexy one. I'm also going to buy them as gifts for friend's and sister's future birthdays… I'm going to get everyone on board! I'm getting married soon and have four bridesmaids - what a great and unusual gift! You have in me a customer for life. Please branch out into thongs and bras soon. My underwear drawer begs of you!
Perfect Pants by Dawn Mason
I've had whomadeyourpants in my wishlist for months now, but as I've been losing weight I'd been waiting for the right time to buy some. I was lucky enough to win a twitter competition to review a pair of pants. I've lost 4.5 stone now and was very pleased to be able to try some smaller pretty pants.
I received a pair of Aimee The 80's Pants and was a little awestruck at just how very pretty they are. A lovely sheer black and pink fabric, very colourful and prettily patterned. The fabric is cut very well, no rough edges, no misplaced pattern, the bow is securely fastened. I couldn't find a single thing to fault on them.
They fit wonderfully, a lovely generous cut that skims the hips and cups the buttocks without cutting in to the skin or creating any VPL or unsightly lumpy bits. I am converted away from buying cheap multipacks elsewhere and will definitely be buying more from whomadeyourpants soon. Thank you!
WhoMadeYouFeelSpecial? by Beverley
I've seen the pants I bought described as 'every day' pants but for someone like me who usually lives in very basic white cotton, these make me feel like I should be slinking around an Anaïs Nin novel! Really flattering style. This will not be the last pair of pants I buy from you - they're all on my wishlist now!
You Rock! by Vicky Jones
My globe-trotting pants arrived today - after a quick round trip to Australia and back, lol. Thank you so much, they're fab, and love.love.love the ethos behind the company. You rock. xx
I love my Who Made Your Pants? pants! by Sue Krekorian
They feel good to wear, fit brilliantly and comfortably, come in lovely colours and my husband finds them very attractive, too.
All that, plus they are made saving materials from landfill, and help teach useful and marketable skills to their makers. They truly are very special knickers.
I love your stuff! by Vicky Groulef, Saumarez lingerie
I've been running my own lingerie business for fourteen months now and I order an extra pair of Who Made Your Pants? pants in my size every time. They're so comfortable and fit so well!
Wonderful pants! by Claudia
Just a quick email to say how beautiful and comfortable my new pants are. I feel doubly good wearing them knowing where and how they have been made.
Me and my husband Jim have for the last year by conscious choice been purchasing all clothing and the majority of other goods via UK made/ethically made resources, as it is something we have always thought about but never really put the effort in until now. Rejecting high street chains and going through independant makers websites and online communities like Etsy and Folksy has been such a good decision and as a result we have made contact with amazing talented people, including of course you!
So thank you once I will definately be back for more wonderful pants!
Claudia x
P.S. Do you have any plans to branch into bras and/or men's pants?
Feel-good factor and fabulous pants! What's not to love? by lingeriebrands.co.uk

Review of the Working Week box set pants. by LucyE
Fit
An absolutely perfect fit. I wasn’t initially sure about the boyshorts look as am normally a thong girl myself. However, as soon as I tried them on I was converted. They are so flattering! Skimming my size 12 bum they actually seem to make it look that little bit perter and smaller. Magic pants indeed, but a definite testament to the design and style of the product to have such a great fit. I love the fact there are no side seams so the pants work with your natural curves to give a more flattering look that skims your hips.
Sizing
As mentioned previously I’m a standard size 12 with all the curves that entails. These pants fit perfectly on me. I’ve recommended them to friends and family who have all being extremely positive about the fit and sizing and we’re not all the same shape as a size 12! Unlike some products bought online I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would say you can confidently buy your normal size without having to worry about whether it’ll fit correctly or not.
Comfort
I’m notoriously hard to please and extremely fussy about the products I place next to my skin. Cheap ‘lace’ products are often consigned to the bin after a few minutes of wearing them. Luckily there isn’t a touch of itchy, scratchy lace here. These pants are absolutely gorgeous to wear and feel like a second skin they are so comfortable. And even better, they wash really well and are still as comfy to wear as the first time I wore them.
Value
Somehow I’ve nearly finished this review and I haven’t mentioned the best thing about these pants. They’re handmade in the UK by a workers cooperative that was set up to empower marginalised women and give them the skills needed for employment. The pants are made ethically from pretty lace fabric with a gorgeous bow detail and they’re only £10.
Overall
Feel-good factor and fabulous pants! What’s not to love? Highly recommended as divine pants without the feel-good factor. Add this in and I defy you not to adore your new pants and everything about this great business. A great buy. Just waiting for ethical bras to match…
