Dorrit String in Black or Ivory: Which Color Should You Pick?

The short answer: it comes down to color, size, and price

The Dorrit string in Black and the Dorrit string in Ivory are the same design: a classic string with fine lace details at the front and sides, plus jacquard-knitted material on the front and back. The real differences are the color, the available sizes, and the price. Black comes in sizes 36 and 38; Ivory comes in sizes 36 and 40. At the time of writing, Black is listed at USD 61.97 (compared with USD 99.95) and Ivory at USD 72.96 (also compared with USD 99.95).

If you already know your size in this style, pick the color that works best with your wardrobe. If you are between sizes or need size 40, the choice may be made for you by availability.

What both colors share

• Dorrit string - Black: Black Dorrit string has fine lace details at the front and sides, with jacquard-knitted material on the front and back. These design details are identical across both colors, so you are not choosing between different levels of detail or construction.

  

• Dorrit string - Ivory: Ivory Dorrit string is described as a fine, classic brief with the same lace details and jacquard-knitted front and back. Confirms that the Ivory version is the same style, just in a lighter color.

  

Black vs Ivory: the practical differences

• Color and wardrobe match: Black is a deep, versatile neutral that pairs easily with dark clothing and works year-round. Ivory is a soft, light neutral that sits closer to skin tones and works well under light-colored garments. Neither is inherently better; choose based on what you wear most.
• Size availability: Black is available in sizes 36 and 38. Ivory is available in sizes 36 and 40. If you wear size 40, Ivory is the only option in the supplied records. If you wear size 38, Black is the only option. Size 36 is available in both.
• Price: Black is listed at USD 61.97 and Ivory at USD 72.96 (both compared with USD 99.95). Prices can change, so check the current listing before ordering.

How to choose between black and ivory string underwear

Think about the clothes you wear most. Black string underwear is a safe choice under dark trousers, jeans, and skirts, and it tends to hide marks better over time. Ivory string underwear is a better match under white, cream, and other light-colored bottoms, where a dark string might show through. If you often wear light summer dresses or pale linen, Ivory may be the more practical everyday pick.

Also consider your existing underwear drawer. If you already own several black pieces, Ivory adds variety and covers lighter outfits. If you mostly own nude or light shades, Black gives you a reliable dark option.

A note on fit and styling

Both colors are designed to be styled with a Dorrit bra fill, according to the product information. The supplied records do not include specific care instructions or stretch details, so treat the size guidance as a starting point and check the product page for any additional information before you buy. If you are unsure between two sizes, the size availability may make the decision for you.
