Leg Avenue Rhinestone Net and Lace Off The Shoulder Teddy

White changes this teddy completely. The same off the shoulder net and lace construction, the same rhinestones through the weave, but in white it stops reading as late night and starts reading as an occasion: an engagement, a wedding night, a gift with a little ceremony to it.

White lingerie shows everything about how it is made, which is a compliment here since the lace panels and the net are doing visible work. Wear it with white or nude stockings for a tonal set, or break it deliberately with a black heel. It is one of the easier pieces to gift, because a teddy needs no clipping and no assembly. Hand wash in cool water on its own, never with anything darker, and lay flat to dry away from direct sun so the white stays white.

White net teddies usually turn up in bridal shops at bridal prices. This is the same idea with rhinestones set into the net, from a hosiery brand that knows how stretch fabric should be finished.
