No Panty Waste
Zovo Collection Lingerie
Yours is an on-again/off-again relationship with lingerie.
Take your old Rainbow Brite nightie (ditched in favor of streaking through the living room). Or last Valentine’s Day’s vampy negligee splurge (dreamed you were being strangled by a boa constrictor).
Don’t resign yourself to a lifetime of wifebeaters and boxers just yet. U-Village lingerie shop Zovo’s just-debuted eponymous line of nighties, jammies, loungewear, and undies is comfy and cute.
Foregoing sexed-up bells and whistles for simple, body-skimming designs, designer Victoria Roberts traveled far and wide to find ultra-high-quality fabrics and trimmings, so everything — from camis to pj’s to cashmere hoodies — feels like heaven against the skin.
We’re fans of the simple white mercerized cotton panties and Hanky Panky-style thongs. But our fave is the yellow rosebuds chemise made of cotton, silk, and seriously soft Japanese Mokuba lace.
Finally: no more sleeping with the enemy.
