Product Review: Emily tries Mary Green’s “Day of the Week” knickers

March 28, 2007 by  

Next up in our Review Week is a very popular purchase for lingerie lovers — the 100% silk Day of the Week set from Mary Green. Since we first mentioned this fantastic set back in August 2005, their popularity has exploded – the designer now has a Panty Fortunes set, a cotton version of the original day of week set, and even a version with the Seven Chakras. Why are these knickers so popular? Let Emily tell you below:

Mary Green Silk Hip Hugger Briefs

Mary Green Day of the Week Panties

Price: £60 – £90 for the set, $123 in the US
Get them at: Gash for the whole set in the UK, Mary Green’s boutique in the US. For just one pair, try Figleaves in the UK (£20) and Mary Green’s site in the US (around $20)
Sizes: S-M-L
Range includes: knickers

Few sensations beat that of pure silk against the skin (at least not any sensations we can go into on Knickersblog) which makes these knickers feel as good as they look – no mean feat given how beautiful they are.

Made from stretchy 100 percent silk, they cling to your curves and are fine enough to wear under even the tightest of outfits. These boy-style briefs are trimmed with lace around the waistband and legs to add an oh-so-feminine feel. And the price is an absolute steal, given the quality of the product. Sexy without being slutty, we challenge any woman not to feel fab when she slips into these.

Available in a variety of colours, from pale pink with black trim to Eau de Nil with pink trim, these are stylish, sexy and sophisticated. The classic design means they’ll suit women of almost all ages and body types, so all in all, these are a definite winner.
