Authentic 1940s Charm in Luxurious Lace from What Katie Did
Timeless vintage elegance with a romantic twist
Inspired by an original 1940s pattern, these black lace French knickers bring true vintage glamour to your lingerie drawer. Crafted from lightweight, sheer black lace, they beautifully combine romance with authentic utility-era styling.
The fit follows the same pattern as our Satin French Knickers, but this lace version offers a slightly more relaxed waist for ease of movement – without compromising on the flattering silhouette. The high waist accentuates your narrowest point, while the soft A-line cut gently skims the hips, creating that unmistakable 1940s shape.
Three small buttons at the side add an authentic vintage touch, while the breathable cotton gusset ensures comfort throughout the day. The result is a pair of French knickers that both feel and look absolutely divine.
They’re made from the same exclusive lace as our Priscilla and Helen collections, allowing you to mix and match your favourite pieces. Pair them with the matching lace bra for a complete vintage lingerie set – or wear them alone as a luxurious statement piece.
