(Fake) pearls in Dessous Autumn 2008:

[jerin]

Now pearls are getting popular in dessous as well. I saw a young girl with a perfect figure modelling some dessous with pearls. They looked breathtakingly, perhaps not quite easy to wear when riding a bicycle though, as on one of the lace trousers the pearls were going all the way(double strand)from the back to the front and sitting on them couldn?t be too comfortable - still the combination lace, silk and pearls is unbeatable....

Hi Inge,

Now that is a term I haven't heard before, "dessous", nor encountered in my 1 year of high school French (pitiful). I guess I can use my imagination!!?? Any photos available?

dessous=ladies' underthings. i, too, have seen many pearl-embellished undergarments of late...andres sarda, myla, madame v, the bracli lace-and-pearl pieces. not to sure how i feel about pearl trimmed panties, but i like the bras

Hi Pattye,

unfortunately I can not provide any pictures, perhaps Elisa is able to get some... however, these ladies underwear are pretty hot....

perhaps not for the active woman! lol More like lounging around reading books about pearls!

!Thank you sooooo much, Inge and Elisa! I get it now! Very interesting! Certainly genuine pearls are not so expensive that they could not be used, and could survive hand washing--------at a recent gem show John Tu had small baroques for $2 a strand, great lustre----------

the myla ones use real CFW pearls. here are the bracli ones. a couple spoylt (and this range) pieces have got faux pearl embellishment, too. this thread makes me giggle

Those myla ones are a sacriledge! Imagine doing that to real pearls! Not to mention, how often would they have to be restrung?
Okay, okay, maybe I am getting too old for this, but I still like satin with pearls on the front.
I'm all about comfort okay?

I don't care what they wear on TV.

WHOA!! I am laughing so hard I am falling off my chair! Those are AMAZING! And beautifully done!! I wonder if they use detolon (polyester), silk or flexible cable wire for stringing?????? Perhaps I should email them and find out? This should enliven the weekend reading on P-G!!

What's this forum turned into! ... something's telling me those were never intended for a bike ride anyway.... Cable wire? What next!

Those myla ones have been about for years - since the pearl thing started and popped up on Sex and the City
