{"product_id":"baroque-rome-high-waisted-briefs","title":"Baroque Rome High Waisted Briefs for Women, Cotton Gusset","description":"\u003cp\u003eRome belongs to the Baroque range, whose prints borrow the ornamental scrollwork of the period rather than any single motif. What changes here is not the fabric but the cut. This is a high waisted brief, so the waist sits above the navel and the leg opening is finished flat, and that is a genuinely different proposition from a slip rather than a longer version of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Waist Sits Flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA high waist without a waistband.\u003c\/b\u003e The top edge is finished flat instead of being gathered onto elastic, which is why it holds its position without pressing a ridge across the stomach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe gusset is 95% cotton.\u003c\/b\u003e The outer knit is polyester and elastane for stretch and recovery, and the cotton is placed where breathability counts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStitched flat seams rather than bonded ones.\u003c\/b\u003e Glued underwear tends to come apart in a machine wash, while these are sewn and survive normal laundering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMore coverage at both ends than a slip.\u003c\/b\u003e A high waisted brief covers more at the waist and more at the leg, which is what makes it the easier choice under thin or clinging fabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Wears Out First\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a high-rise brief the waist fold takes more stress than anywhere else, because it bends every time you sit down. That is exactly where a surface print fails first, and it is the reason sublimation matters here more than it does on a low rise: the color is dyed into the knit, so there is no printed layer to crack along the crease. The other thing that ages is the elastane, and how fast is set by the wash cycle rather than by the wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a High Waist Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high waist earns its place under a close-fitting dress, where it removes the two lines a low rise creates, one at the hip and one at the leg. That is the single most common reason people move to this cut. It also holds through a long day on your feet or on a flight, because a waistband above the navel does not slide the way a hip-level one does. None of that makes it a specialist garment; it is a slip with the waistband moved to where you stop noticing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/mememe-panty-construction-diagram.png?v=1786605227\" alt=\"Labeled Mememe panty diagram with callouts on fit, flat seams, stretch, drying, the cotton gusset and print durability.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric, Sizes and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter fabric: 83% polyester, 17% elastane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGusset: 95% cotton, 5% elastane, which is the breathable part of the garment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch: four-way, so the knit gives across the body as well as along it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: high waisted brief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to measure: run the tape around the widest part of the hip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHip measurement: Small 87 to 93 cm, Medium 94 to 99, Large 100 to 106, X-Large 106 to 116.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Mememe, a label that describes itself as Ukrainian and states its underwear is made in Ukraine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: flat seams, no elastic bands, no sewn-in labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: gentle wash, hand ironing, no dry cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/mememe-underwear-hip-size-chart.png?v=1786605227\" alt=\"Mememe hip size chart in cm and inches for thong, slip and high-waisted brief, sizes S through XL.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill it show under clothes?\u003c\/b\u003e The two things a brief can show are the waistband and the leg opening, and both are finished flat here rather than on a band, so the usual ridge is absent.
