LorraineWomen's Picot Trim Full Brief 3 Pack Panties

The fit

I have bought their products (underwear and gowns for most of my life (and my parents bought them before i was old enough to have a job and could buy them on my own. Quality has taken a deep dive since then but the underwear is still my favorite because of the cut. I am a size 14 but in the last several years, they decided to cut that size from their inventory to my utter regret. I would like to think that my loyalty warranted some consideration but alas, it does not.

I put down my size both times I ordered these underwear and I was sent panties that wewe 4 sizes bigger. I really like the brand but am afraid to order them the third time

This is a tough call, because unlike the Cudl Dudds, the design of these panties are excellent. They're more like the "vintage"/old-style Lorraines, but fix at least one flaw of those panties, in that they come up too high. These new ones are great in that they ALSO have a good sized rear gusset and fit almost as full in the seat as the old-style. The new style Cudl Dudds are just that - a dud. They are higher on the leg than these new Lorraines.The problem with these new ones is, for one, my wife wears a 9 in old-style Lorraines, (which actually run a size bigger, so they're more like a 10 in other panties), but she was shipped a 10 - but it fits like an old-style Lorraines 8!! Reality is, I think an 11 would be more like an old style (vintage) Lorraines 9, which is like a normal size 10 in other panties. The elastic on these new ones snaps hard and feels tighter than it looks like it should, as it's about the same width is my older Lorraines. so the waistband needs a bit more "give" in the elastic, is all. Which is too bad, because outside of this, they're a great style in every way. She told me to return them. :(. Her other go-to are Shadowline brand, which haven't changed over the years, and they have a REALLY nice rear gusset - good sized half-moon shape. Even wider and more pronounced than the old-style or new-style Lorraines. But they have one fatal flaw - the crotch is narrower than the old OR new style Lorraines, so she doesn't wear them nearly as much.So... If you can deal with the tight elastic digging into your stomach, or you have a flatter stomach than most, then these Lorraines might be just the ticket. But I maker needs to use slightly more forgivable elastic in the future! She'll try again in a year, or so, unless they read this and tell us this was just a one-off and they're not usually like this. A bad batch of elastic, or something. They're very close in every other way to the old-style Lorraines, which we both love on her, and they could have a big best seller on their hands if they fix this issue. And, if you're up to it, make the crotch a little wider and copy the Shadowline rear gusset. :). (but those aren't deal-breakers as is. The elastic is, unfortunately).In summary, the size is just way off. If you normally wear a 7 in regular panties, then you'd be best ordering a 4... maybe 5.NOTE TO SELLER: If you get these in at size 11, I will reorder a bunch.

Got to save some items for special occasions and underwear is part of that

I have been wearing Lorraine briefs for more than 20 years. I hope they still have the old fashion kind, because I don't like these new ones that fit up over your hips.

Great product

I have worn Lorraine Panties for over 40 years, and the same size. Got them and I was excited, I tore off the tags and 2 days later I put one on and it was not a size 7, it was either a 5 or a 6. Now I hve no tage and I threw the package away and I'm stuck with 6 pairs. NOT HAPPY!
