Matching sets of lingerie

No one to appreciate what I wear so it's plain white no frills.

I've never had a matching set other than I usually get black or white underwear because it's easier. My problem with matching sets is they usually are sold in sets and I have much bigger boobs than bum, if you see what I mean.
I do have sort of matching sets in the old comfortable grey big knickers and slightly saggy wire-free bra for pottering round the house & garden but I don't think you meant that sort of matching set.

I have skin tone and black bras and pants (with one white bra that I only ever wash with whites for fear of colour change), though they weren’t bought as matching sets. My best buy a year ago was 6 pairs of very fine skin tone pants from Lidl. Always fit perfectly, no VPL, wash perfectly and dry quickly. 2 snags-I’ve never found them since and they didn’t do bras.

Actually, Maw, I think our aunts didn't allow themselves to even think the word sexy.

My grandmother wore salmon pink corsets and knickers.

I have some matching sets, mainly for DH's delectation although I do like wearing them.

I have always felt they were only for best, as underpants (mine at least) do need more frequent washing then bras.

Most of my underwear is pastel - white, beige or whatever. I hate black. Often I match 'like with like.' What I prefer is underwear that is smooth as I don't want visible seams.

Please don't use the word 'panties' as it puts me in mind of Benny Hill's character - was it Fred Scuttlebucket or something? Cringe.

What beautiful underwear you have made! Kudos to you.
I once bought a remnant of green silk and tried to make a pair of knickers but they were so uncomfortable I had to throw them away.
Unfortunately I have never had a matching set of underwear but if I see some in a sale I might buy some, just so I can think I once had some!!

I always wear matching sets, only because I buy everything the same. I change my bra twice a week, pants everyday. They are skin coloured so don’t show through anything. Have you noticed only women wearing matching sets get murdered in thrillers!!

Doesn't matter how many pairs of matching knickers you buy they will never come out of the wash at the same time as the bra. I know this.

I used to always wear matching bra and pants, especially when married to the first husband. He used to buy most of them for me. Well, they lost their magic when I caught him wearing them! YUK!

I now wear the first pair of clean pants and bra that comes out of the drawers, plus I don't have that 36/24/34 figure anymore.

I like cotton knickers and my tummy is too large for skimpy but I do try to buy 3 for 2 offers and go for lace trim or pretty patterns or dots I tend to return to a particular M&S bra I find comfy with lace cups but the colour range is limited alas. In my youth I bought pretty, sexy bras but I had more disposable income too! My mum always preached clean undies in case you were knocked down by a bus (it was always a bus!)

When I was younger and slimmer I always wore matching underwear, the first time my now hubby saw them he asked why I was wearing a bikini under my clothes ??
Now seven grandkids later I grab the nearest out of the drawer.

Well this is certainly an eye-opener. Matching undies - usually just be chance; making my own - highly unlikely. Who cares.

For every day, I buy skin tone bras as they don't show under thin white/light tops. Most of my knickers are black, as I always seemed to wear black or dark trousers to work, but I do have a drawer of 'naughtier' undies in various colours and cuts for my special man to appreciate.

I have never been a matching set person. Having been a larger lady all my life comfort has always been more important. I tend to wear black bottoms and have 3 colours for bras black, white and neutral which cover all situations

I just buy everything in black or red so they always match....not that I actually care about the matching, I just like black and red

Black 'Doreen' bras and black Sloggi pants. Deeply boring but comfortable.

Triumph bra for me usual colours, white, black, and skin tone and lots of sloggy pants. The only ones that don't give me a wedgie.

I always wear black undies with a few nude bits under certain clothing.
I find white undies look scruffy faster, although a friend of mine boils her knickers of cotton airtex every week in an old-fashioned boiler and pegs them on the line with H's vests and pants. I have to admit the whiteness is stunning but I just couldn't be bothered.

Blimey, I don't even wear bikini's as matching sets. I tend to buy in the Sales and often buy one half patterned and the other half with one of the colours picked out. Or something with a black background so it matches any of my black other bits. I hasten to add I only wear a bikini in the back garden, I wouldn't offend the rest of the world by wearing it in public.

Most of my underwear is black so it matches by default. I do also like to wear a slip as I think it gives a better 'line' to dresses (I'm absolutely not a trouser woman - bum too close to the floor). Wandering around in a slip makes me feel quite Saturday Night and Sunday Morning-ish.

Wow I am impressed by matching underwear. I grab what I can. Since my mastectomy though I have found the prettiest and most comfortable bras are the cheapest from Asda. Their PJ's are very good too.

Because my bras are super-expensive I don't buy the knickers to match.
Also, I do like cotton knickers and the pretty ones matching my bras are always synthetic. I like Prima Donna bras, the briefs for the last bra I bought were £65. I think I can do without!

I had a German aunt who was glamorous (to me) in a sort of Marlene Dietrich way, who always only wore black underwear which she once said to me was slimming! I suspect I was too young for her to say “sexy”
I do remember staying with her one very hot summer when I was perhaps 7, and she and mum walked around her flat in their petticoats- Mum’s was white, Tante Erna’s was black.
Of course.

I have everything (bras and pants) in skin colour (why am I called a "white" woman when my skin colour is really beige) and definitely no scratchy lace. And no matching sets for the reasons given above.

- too expensive,
- you'd need more pants than bras

and

-the bottoms and tops from a set probably wouldn't both fit well anyway

I have black, white and skin tone (otherwise known as yuk). I do break rank all the time for wearing dark and light together. Comfort is the main goal.
