I recently bought several pairs of panties at Addition Elle, all in styles similar to this one, and was so disappointed!!! They fit and are very comfortable but after only 2 washes the lace is just falling apart. I wash them in cold water, lay flat to dry and still the lace is full of holes! Any time you so much as touch the lace your finger goes right through it without any resistance. I have been a long time customer of this store and have come to expect a much higher level of quality.
