Quick answer

Choose the Lace Corset Knicker (product 1320739) if you want a high-waisted, corset-style lace-up front with full front coverage and a structured, layered look. Choose the Clover Knicker (product 1320707) if you want a mid-rise, mid-leg cut with a completely backless design and adjustable back straps for a lighter, more minimal feel. Both are made to order, so check the sizing page and allow 10–14 days before they arrive.

Waistline and rise: high vs mid

The Lace Corset Knicker sits high on the waist, so the waistband lands above your natural hip line and the lace-up front runs vertically down the center. That high rise is what gives it the corset-style look and makes it feel more like a piece you might show above a waistband. The Clover Knicker is mid rise, which means the waistband sits closer to your natural waist-to-hip transition and stays lower on the body. If you prefer a waistband that disappears under most clothing, the mid-rise Clover is the easier choice. If you want the waistband to be part of the outfit, the high-waisted Corset Knicker is the one to pick.

Back coverage: full back vs completely backless

The Lace Corset Knicker is cut as a standard high-waisted knicker with a full back, so it offers conventional rear coverage. The Clover Knicker is completely backless, with four adjustable back straps instead of a fabric back panel. That backless construction changes both the feel and the look: there is less fabric against the skin, more airflow, and a strappy detail that reads as deliberate. The trade-off is that backless means no rear coverage, so it is not the knicker to choose if you want a smooth, full-coverage seat under fitted clothing.

Lace, hardware, and finishing details

The Lace Corset Knicker uses floral lace with satin ribbon and gold eyelets, including a ribbon tie detail at the hips and cotton bindings. Those details are decorative and functional: the ribbon tie at the hips lets you adjust the fit slightly, and the cotton bindings add a softer edge against the skin. The Clover Knicker uses a quatrefoil motif lace with a moss green silky bow, French seams, a cotton jersey gusset, and soft elastic edges. French seams enclose the raw fabric edges, which reduces the chance of scratchy seam allowances, and the cotton jersey gusset is a practical choice for everyday wear. Neither product listing states a fiber percentage for the lace, so if you have a sensitivity to synthetic lace, treat that as an open question and ask the brand before ordering.

Availability and sizing

The Clover Knicker is a limited edition with only 3 sets available and comes in sizes 6–22. The Lace Corset Knicker lists size as its only option type but does not state a size range in the supplied details, so check the sizing page or contact the brand if you are outside common ranges. Both are cut and stitched once you order, with a 10–14 day make time before shipping. If you need something quickly, that made-to-order window is the main practical constraint for both.
