*Intro:

I've already pledged my love for Victoria Secret Lacie thongs. That's the reason I got this pair of panties too. I love thick lace hip-huggers and these are a little different from the ones I already own. It has a t-string back and very low and dipping v front. These are about a third or half the price of most VS panties of similar design, so they are a steal if you fit in them. I'm a fan...mostly.

*Contents/overview: One piece panty

These panties are from Baci. They are a hip-hugger t-string thong with thick lace band. They come in more sizes, but are only available in sizes small and medium on Eden right now. They come in black, red, and pink.

*Material: Mixed, durable



These panties are made of 90% nylon and 10% spandex. The lace feels exactly like Victoria's Secret lace on this particular panty. The lace is soft and stretchy and not at all abrasive. the lace pattern is larger flowers with trails of smaller ones surrounded by swirls.

*Design/craftsmanship: A bit odd

When I pulled these out of their package I immediately thought the design looked really odd. Holding them up so the front lace V is straight, they create a very deep v that made me think these would look totally 80's on me. If I hold them so that the back lace is straight, the front tucks at the sides of the crotch. I totally thought it would be fail when I tried them on.

If I lay the panties flat and straighten out the band, it measures about 13 1/2" from end to end. It's about 2" thick with a sort of scalloping on both sides. The reason I say sort of is that the scalloping is more subtle than what I usually see. There is an obvious and very large seam that goes down the center and crotch.

There really isn't a crotch to speak of, though. Seen in the picture below, the side bands just sort of merge together in a V. If you measure straight across the little black bow at the peak of the V, it is 4" inches across. At the very base of the V is a VERY teeny tiny panty liner. It's useless because of its size. It's not even 2" long and barely 1" wide.



*Cleaning/packaging: Machine wash, cardboard fold

YEAY! Here is another pair of panties I can machine wash. They should be specifically washed in warm water with dark colors. The box actually specifically states to not dry clean...that's a new one! When you are done washing, tumble dry on low. Double yeay! I wash these the same as I do with my other panties. I do not place this type in a lingerie bag.

The panties come pressed flat around a thin cardboard sheet placed in plastic, sealed, and then slid into a cardboard fold with pictures of the model on the outside. A small holograph stuck in the corner of the package proves it is an official Baci product.

Designed in Paris, but made in China.

Here the panties are laid on top of a medium lacie thong from VS. You can see that they are a little smaller.

*Sizing: Pretty true to size

The other pair of lace band Baci panties I got in a L was a nit too big for me, so I decided to get the M for this one. Due to the slightly weird design, the M probably doesn't work as well as it should, but I still like the fit for the most part.

According to the US chart, the M should fit a woman who weighs 120-140lbs, a size 6-10 dress, with a 36-38" hip. I fit in the M size measurements, but my hip and ~weight is in both M and L. I'm a size 8 in jeans and my hips are about 38.5". I weighed ~144 pounds at the time of this review.



For those of you who don't live in the US, here is the international size chart:


The band is stretchy, but it doesn't fold or crease very easily. It fits very nicely on my hips, not too tight and not too lose. The band doesn't slide at all. The rise is the issue. If I place it where it feels most comfortable on my butt (or in my butt I should say...) and hips, the bottom of the V can create a little divot between my labia, a sort of sudo-camel toe. I have to pull the back down so it creates a dip in the back in order for it to be completely comfortable in the front. This isn't a big deal, though. I just have to do a bit of adjustment when wearing these instead of throwing them on. I like that they are almost seamless and are barely detectable under a tight dress.

*Re-done Sizing/BEST fit:

Dress size: 6-8 (10 if hip fits)
Hip size: 36"-39"
Weight: 125-145 pounds

*Conclusion: ★★★★

There is one major issue with the design of these panties. If your rise is too short, you have a petite torso, or you are petite in general, the sides of the V can crease because they are not being pulled flat. Because of that and the distance between the crotch and string being a little short, I'm giving these 4 stars, but the quality is great for the price. I'd give them 4.5 if I could. The deep V is super sexy!

I don't wear these panties as the others that I have from Baci, but they still do have a place in my lingerie collection. They are excellent for wearing with my super low rise jeans and workout pants!
