I DO NOT and WILL NOT wear matching lingerie!!! I like to wear light-color undies if I'm wearing light-colored pants and a black bra if my shirt/blouse is a dark color. Furthermore, any beautiful-looking bra cannot do for me what an unattractive harness can do.  (Mossie - please feel free to move on to another thread. ;D) |

:)Have you read the comments? brilliant! ;D ;D ;D
I'm glad it's not just me who has noticed that French women are just like everyone else in the world. Fat, thin ,smart, scruffy. And converse trainers? I saw lots in Paris. They seem to be THE fashion thing of the summer!
(I must admit though, I wear matching underwear and a scarf wound round my neck a la Francais most of the time! A girls got PRIDE!)

I can see the writing on the wall...this thread is going to degenerate into another one like the Parisian swimming pool thread did  |

Yup, it's going to be about as off-topic as is possible  |

Topic? What topic? There was a topic? Well, at least there was a title, which sort of suggests (sort of!) a "topic" . . . |

So there is no acceptable way that one can wear a black bra with one's granny-sized, has-been-white, hot-washable, 100% cotton knickers ?? ;D ;D But ladies, I must disappoint you.  Matching undies won't do the trick. THIS is where you learn to become a real lady and to behave yourself: sit with your back straight, no crossing of legs, managing charming and intelligent conversation whilst wielding the most complicated silverware with natural grace..... Click and behold ACADEMIE NADINE DE ROTSCHILDClick for the ugly google-translation (of which I am sure la baronne would highly disapprove !  ) ENGLISH VERSIONNotice that you must pay even to enter the FAQ ! No feeding of pearls to the piggies in Switzerland !  |

we all know that it's not WHAT you wear, it's HOW you wear it....pricey matching knickers won't give you confidence....and a beautiful (inside!) woman can overcome tatty smalls.

And not too expensive for those elegant-manner-courses either, only 700 CHF = 675 USD for a 2 days "cours condensés" in Savoir-Vivre !
Baroness, here we come - ready or not ! ;D

Hey, hang on a moment. I'VE got some matching silk underwear. Twice a year I get it out and look at it. Then I sigh and put it away again, wishing I could get into it.

Somehow I think that if the group of us showed up on the Baronne's doorstep, she'd have a sudden attack of the vapours. |

As soon as I saw this thread the old saw came to mind "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread".
I can see all the angels are here, the mind picture of Denise still haunts me, and so I am tiptoeing silently away.

Oh no Sunshine, I read her biography "La baronne rentre à 5 heures" and believe me poor Nadine was not always such a lady herself.

Someone sent me that article. Paris is not the real France where women have different weights, not into diets, exersizes and matching underwear. Paris women who wear inexpensive look good IMHO because of their confidence and high opinion of themselves
