Learn how to choose the right size for Angela Friedman's Heather knickers, with practical steps for a comfortable, luxurious fit every day.
Quick answer
For the Heather knickers, choose your usual size if you prefer a snug fit, or size up if you like a bit more breathing room—the French lace has some stretch, but the silk lining does not.
Why fit matters for everyday comfort
The Heather knickers are a string panty style, so the fit around your hips and waist determines how comfortable they feel throughout the day. A too-tight pair can dig into your skin, while a too-loose pair may shift or bunch under clothing.
Because the silk lining is not elastic, it won't stretch much over time. The French lace, however, has a bit of give. This means the overall fit depends more on the lace than the silk, but you shouldn't expect the garment to loosen significantly after washing.
How to find your Heather knickers size
- Measure your hips and waist: Use a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and your natural waist. Compare these numbers to the size chart on the product page. If you're between sizes, consider how you like your underwear to fit. Write down both measurements and keep them handy when ordering.
- Decide on your preferred fit: If you want a snug, stay-put fit, choose your usual size. If you prefer a looser feel or have a fuller hip, size up. Remember, the silk lining won't stretch much, so a too-small size will feel restrictive. When in doubt, size up for all-day comfort.
- Check the rise and leg openings: The Heather knickers are a string style, so the leg openings are minimal. Make sure the lace sits comfortably without digging in. If the leg openings feel tight, a larger size will give you more room. Move around in them—sit, stand, and walk—to test the fit before wearing all day.
Product details
- Heather knickers: The Heather knickers are handcrafted from imported French lace with pure silk linings. French lace provides a touch of stretch for comfort, while the silk lining feels luxurious against the skin but has minimal give, so choosing the right size is key.
