  Indispensable, easy-to-make undergarments for daily wear, all in knit fabrics, and finished with pre-folded or foldable underwear elastic, or traditional picot underwear elastic. Classic three-piece Knickers have full bottom-coverage and sit approximately 10cm / 4'' below the navel. The Singlet Camisole and Dress Slip feature scoop necks and straight backs. The Singlet Camisole fits snugly through the bust, and loosens slightly over the waist and hips, finishing at mid hip. The Dress Slip has a slightly A-line skirt with two length options: mid thigh, or just above the knee.

The Wonder Unders Singlet Camisole & Slip are designed to sit perfectly under the Miramar Dress, Top & Tunic & the Ngaio Blouse, for a bit of neckline filler for either, and under the Henrietta Maria Dress & Top.
