Leg Avenue Lace Thong Back Teddy with Strappy Cross-Over Back

Royal blue is a choice, and it is a good one. This lace teddy finishes in a thong back and crosses its straps behind, so the two things the eye follows are the color and the strap work. Black is stocked too, for the nights that call for the classic.

The crossover back means this looks best when there is somewhere for the back to be seen, so keep any layer open rather than buttoned. Sort the straps before you settle the shoulders so nothing sits twisted, and pair it with sheer thigh highs or bare legs and a heel. Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry, and wash the blue on its own the first time, since strong dyes can run.

Lace teddies come in black almost exclusively. A true royal blue in the same cut is genuinely hard to find, and the strappy cross-over back gives it a second look most teddies simply do not have.
