Underworks Bloomers Review: Four Inches of Nylon and a Lace Hem

We already did Reamphy (tight knit, no hold, a pack) and Bandelettes (lace bands, no short). Underworks sells the vintage job: champagne nylon tap pants, a thin elastic waist, a 4-inch inseam, a wide floral lace hem. Twenty-five dollars. They are not shapewear. They are not SHAPERMINT. They are a slip that stops at the thigh so a skirt has a lining you can wash.

If you wanted compression, Bali or SPANX. If you wanted chafe insurance that looks like 1952, stay. Size the hip like a panty that is loose. The Size Guide is a starting point. Too small and lace cuts. Too big and the waist walks.

The lace is the hem. Nylon is the slip.

Four inches is not mid-thigh on a long femur. It is a tap pant. Under a pencil it can peek. Under a midi it is the lining. Size the hip. Between, the size you wear in a slip. Satin-ish nylon glides. Lace at the hem is pretty and it is also a grabber on tights. The back still is the same loose seat. There is no lift. There is no gusset speech in the still — live in them or don’t.

Wash cold, hang. Heat welds nylon into a different size and yellows champagne. Static is why VF sells anti-static slips. These will cling if you let them.

Bloomers. Loose. The lace is the design, not a grip strip.

Vs Reamphy, vs SHAPERMINT

Reamphy is cheaper and uglier and better at chafe if you want knit. SHAPERMINT holds. This is the pretty short. the rating is a hem that matches the still more often than Amazon tap-pant no-names. Believe lining. It will not flatten. It will rustle.

Who it's for

A skirt, a lace hem, a nylon lining. Not compression, not a 3-pack chafe short, not a $25 faja. Size the hip, hang the nylon, skip the dryer.
