Bring a touch of vintage glamour to your everyday lingerie with our Maitresse High Waisted Knickers. Designed for comfort and style, these black high waist knickers combine a flattering retro silhouette with a soft, flexible fit that works beautifully under both vintage and modern outfits.

At a Glance:

The high waistline smooths your tummy and hips, offering light control and gentle shaping, while the full bottom coverage keeps them comfortable enough for all-day wear. Made primarily from stretchy powermesh, these knickers move with you while creating a sleek, streamlined shape. A satin front panel adds a touch of luxury, while a 100% cotton gusset ensures breathability.

These knickers are primarily made from powermesh so are stretchy.

Crafted from the same satin and powermesh as our Glamour, 1940s, and Retro lingerie ranges, these high waisted knickers can be mixed and matched with coordinating bras, girdles, and suspender belts for a complete, period-perfect look. Ethically made in our long-standing Indian factory, where many of the same skilled machinists have worked with us since 2003, they’re as responsibly made as they are stylish.

For a figure-flattering foundation with timeless appeal, our Maitresse High Waisted Knickers are a lingerie-drawer essential. 

• A flattering high waist, smooth lines and light control combined with full bottom coverage.

  Classic knickers never looked so glamorous.

  For an aesthetically pleasing look, we've designed our panties to sit high on the natural waist at the same level as your suspender belt. We've also put the seams in the back compared to panties today, that have the seams on the side. And for a more glamorous look, we've made the leg slightly higher.

• For an easy fit, our Maitresse black high waisted knickers are primarily made from stretchy powermesh.
