Argentovivo PICOLINE, style number:  W390 C.F1 Cipria SLIPS.  A low to mid rise, sheer gold mesh thong with soft gold satin bands at either side of the top front corners, with wide sided mesh sides and a soft gold mesh thong stem at the back.  This thong is such fun, so delicate that one has to pick it up, very frou frou.

The front panel is in the soft gold mesh which fades towards ivory by the top third.  The main front is covered with stems of open roses with leaves and buds, all in gold, ivory and metallic gold thread, along the top there is a wave of smaller roses and leaves topped with small waves within the larger waves, with an ivory eyelash finish. A narrow band of soft gold elastic edges the inside of the top embroidery, this acts as a waistband and also keeps the embroidered mesh in place so that it does not curl.   This front panel goes down to the front gusset seam which is covered with plain soft gold mesh.   At either side of the top corners there are two wide bands of soft gold satin which look vey smart and sumptuous and also cover where the wide sided mesh sides join the top corners of the front panel.  Down the leg sides the embroidered mesh is folded in around a narrow band of beige elastic and secured with fine ivory zig-zag stitches.

The mesh sides are in the plain soft gold mesh and are gatherered at the front under the soft gold satin ring and again at the back centre top, the folds are sewn into pleats.  The mesh sides are only in a single layer of the mesh but the way it is gathered at the front and back means that the cut edges are folded in and contained within the soft pleats.  This centre back also hides the top seam of the thong stem which does have a vertical central seam in it with the soft gold mesh doubled over so the sides are soft.   

The soft gold gusset of this thong is produced in Silfresh acetate yarns from BemburgCell.  Silfresh has been specially treated to maintain the freshness and hygiene of this garment by preventing the build up of bacteria which causes odours.
