From Ravage: Beige Architectural, wrought iron inspired, Lace Collection, AU DELA, Style RO1631-018-3.   This wide sided, high rise thong has fine beige fabric covering the front panel, over the gusset to the top of the thong stem at the back. The front leg sides, gusset and thong stem have a band of beige elastic sewn to the outside edges and this has an open trim with a repeat pattern, which looks like many bridges with balustrades on them. The same elastic with its open trim is sewn around the top of the thong with its open bridge pattern facing upwards, leaving a delicate pattern against the skin.   The plain beige fabric is very soft to touch and because of its fine texture it is opaque and does not need to be lined with the exception of the gusset which is lined with beige Jersey Cotton.

From under the diagonal sides of the front panel there are three main bands of the architectural lace with patterns that you would see in fine old buildings in their wrought iron gates or balconies.  The different bands of lace are separated by narrow bands of beige satin ribbons.  This lace and ribbon detailing floats across the front, around the hips to the back where there is a large open keyhole with the waistband at the top, topped with a beige satin ribbon bow, and another bow at the bottom of the keyhole, covering a back seam in the lace.    I must mention that the lace is not just beige but the patterns have movement in them enhanced by the colour changes from ivory to pale beige, to a darker beige, the lace is strong and stiff and the bottom band leaves a fan and scroll shape against the skin, this pattern floats over the thong stem at the back.

The fabric of this thong is composed of 55%Polyester, 28%Polyamide, 10%Cotton, 7%Elastane and please machine or hand wash at 30 degrees, no iron, dry cleaning, tumble drying or bleach.  New and unused.  Made in France.  The retail price was £48.50. 

In this Architectural, Wrought Iron Inspired, Lace Collection, the matching padded bandeau bra is called AUSTRALE, the matching brief is called AUSSITOT, the matching wide sided thong is called AU DELA.  These are all listed separately but knowing their names makes it easier to find them in the eBay search bar.

The French size 3 is a European 42 and USA M and a UK M or size 12, this thong sits on the hips so needs to be wider than one that sits in the waist.
