Quick answer

Choose the Demeter Mesh Flutter Panty for a lightweight, airy feel with deadstock floral mesh, or the Cardamine Lace Up Panty for a structured, high-waisted look with upcycled vintage fabric and garter straps.

Fabric and sustainability

The Demeter uses deadstock semi-sheer stretch mesh with a Tencel modal jersey lining, making it a lighter, breathable option. The Cardamine is made from upcycled vintage fabric with recycled mesh side panels and also lined with Tencel modal jersey. Both use leftover or reclaimed materials, but the Demeter's deadstock mesh is a single-layer semi-sheer fabric, while the Cardamine combines multiple textures for a more substantial feel.

Style and functionality

The Demeter features flutter merrow edges for a delicate, unstructured look, while the Cardamine has a lace-up corset-style back and four removable, adjustable garter straps. The Cardamine also includes picot edge elastic, adding a vintage touch. If you need a panty that can double as a garter belt, the Cardamine is the clear choice. For a simple, everyday sheer panty, the Demeter is more practical.

Fit and sizing

Both styles offer custom sizing via the dropdown menu. The Demeter is a flutter panty with a more relaxed, unstructured fit, while the Cardamine is high-waisted with a lace-up back that allows some adjustability. The Cardamine's structured design provides more support and shaping, but may feel more restrictive than the Demeter's soft, stretchy mesh.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Weight and feel: Demeter: light, semi-sheer mesh. Cardamine: heavier upcycled fabric with mesh panels.
  • Back style: Demeter: open flutter edges. Cardamine: lace-up corset back with adjustability.
  • Garter function: Demeter: no garter straps. Cardamine: 4 removable, adjustable straps for stockings. If you wear stockings, the Cardamine eliminates the need for a separate garter belt.
