Women's Brigitte Bardot knickers: a licence with a sixties spirit

The women's Brigitte Bardot knickers fall under a licence developed by the V2D group, a corset maker from the north of France, which has been producing lingerie, swimwear, and homewear under this name since its first collection of swimsuits for spring-summer 2016, followed by a line of underwear the following winter.

The sixties spirit of Brigitte Bardot knickers

This licence taps into a specific imagery, that of the sixties and the Mediterranean: stripes, gingham, high-waisted cuts, and sunny colours. This steers the product towards women's Brigitte Bardot knickers that are more covering and graphic than the average on the market, with high waists and shorties featuring prominently, where many brands focus their offerings on thongs and strings.

What a corset maker guarantees on a licensed knicker

A fashion licence can yield the worst or the best depending on the manufacturer behind it. Here, V2D is a trained corset maker, who also develops the lines Morgan and previously developed Pomm'Poire: the patterns are thus derived from genuine practice in French corsetry, not from a rough adaptation.

Choosing your size of Brigitte Bardot knickers

The high-waisted cuts in this line are measured around the hips, like all knickers, but also check the waistband height, which varies significantly from model to model in this collection. A wide and lined waistband holds better than a simple elastic on this type of cut.
