Gorsenia Paradise High Waist Briefs K497 Black

High waist, full seat coverage, plain back. The Gorsenia Paradise K497 is cut from soft black microfibre with two panels of beige tulle and black lace set into the front, each crossed by fine decorative straps. Sizes run M to 4XL, which is a genuine plus size range rather than a token top size.

Coverage and rise

The waistband sits close to the navel, though where it lands depends on torso length and how high you pull them on. The back covers most of the seat in one piece of microfibre. Leg openings are finished with thin flat elastic at the front and a doubled fold of stretch tulle at the back, so nothing thick runs across the buttock. The gusset is cotton.

Under clothes

What shows under trousers or a fitted skirt is the plain back and hip, and the folded rear leg finish leaves a flatter edge than heavy binding would. How much of that reads through depends on your fit and on the outer fabric. All the decoration sits at the front, where black lace over beige tulle can show through thin pale cloth.

Sizing

Gorsenia sizes briefs by hip measurement, taken around the fullest part:

• M = EU 38, hips 94 to 98 cm
• L = EU 40, hips 98 to 102 cm
• XL = EU 42, hips 102 to 106 cm
• 2XL = EU 44, hips 106 to 110 cm
• 3XL = EU 46, hips 110 to 114 cm
• 4XL = EU 48, hips 114 to 118 cm

If you fall between two rows, compare your waist as well, since these sit high enough for the waist to matter as much as the hip.

Matching pieces and care

This is the covered-up half of the black Paradise set with the K496 soft bra. The K498 brazilians carry the same front panels with far less at the back, so the two are worth owning together rather than choosing between. Hand wash only, up to 40°C, no bleach, no ironing, no dry cleaning, no tumble drying.
