The Obsessive Divienne crotchless thong is open in two places, not one. The crotch is open, and so is the back: the lace stops at the hips and a geometric arrangement of thin elastic straps frames the open back instead of covering it. What holds the strap work together is a pair of small gold-toned connectors, one at the centre of the waistband and one lower down, front and back alike, with clear stones set into one connector on each side. The lace itself is a scalloped fan pattern across the hips.
How the Divienne is cut
At the front, lace panels sit on either hip under a plain elastic waistband. From a small gold-toned connector at the centre of the waistband two straps run down in a V to a second connector set with clear stones, and below that the crotch is open, framed by narrow elastic edging with no gusset between the front and back sections. At the back the order is reversed: the stone-set connector sits at the waistband, the plain one lower, and from it further straps curve down and around each buttock to meet the front. The lace covers the hips only. There is no fabric across the seat at all, so the back is as open as the front.
The lace is open-worked and reads sheer through the pattern, with a scalloped lower edge. The logo tag sits on the left hip. Choose the Divienne if you want the lace-and-strap look with the seat left bare, rather than an open crotch on an otherwise covered brief.
Sizing
Three paired sizes: S/M, L/XL and 2XL/3XL. Compare your waist and hip measurements with the Obsessive size chart rather than going by dress size. The gold-toned connectors are nickel-free.
Care
Hand wash at 20 to 30 °C with a mild detergent, or in a wash bag on a delicate programme. No bleach. Press the water out, dry flat away from sun and radiators, and do not tumble dry. It arrives in its original Obsessive box.
Frequently asked questions
Is the back covered?
No. The lace runs across the hips and stops. Thin straps frame the buttocks and there is no panel between them.
Is the crotch open?
Yes. There is no gusset between the front and back sections, only the narrow elastic edging on each side of the opening.
Is the lace see-through?
Largely yes. The fan pattern is open-worked and the skin shows through between the denser lines.
