WhatEVEr, la confiance en dentelles
<p>
Nowadays, Twitter can make you instantly famous or infamous with a picture of your undethings taken at the right moment. Now is the time to lace-up!</p>
<p>

<strong>Ease and Sensuality</strong></p>
<p>
IT is not easy to find a piede of underwear that covers enough skin, while being comfortable and pretty enough to show. The idea is to create a real piece of clothing that you can wear proudly AND that will stay discreet under your skirt or dress.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Over-wear or Underwear?</strong></p>
<p>
Inspired from the 1950s, these shorts fit below the belly-button. It is made from synthetic knitted fabric so it won't crease much and stay breathable. You can wear it over your usual lingerie or directly on your skin!</p>
<p>
The detail which makes the difference is the sexy garter-like band of lace that does not make you thigh look like smoked ham.</p>

<strong>Whyi "WhatEVEr" ?</strong></p>
<p>
Because this is the first thought that should come to someone's mind when your underwear decides to go public.
Also, my name is Eve. Easy, isn't it?</p>

<strong>Work local</strong></p>
<p>
The world is made of interactions. Working together makes us rasie higher.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I decided to work with local companies and people to create the item :</p>

She's a Burlesque dancer, who left Paris for Berlin. She incarnates my vision of wild and voluptuous femininity. I created a <strong>Collector design</strong> to fit her image, to celebrate LA Femme.<img alt="Lada-1412723347" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/126178/lada-1412723347.jpg"></p>

He's a ballet dancer who fell into the world of Burlesque. He is dedicated to his passions, whether wearing Derbies or Stilettos. When I decided to create the Male version of the shorts, I figured him saying: "I'm your Man, Baby!", with a big smile and a Baltimore accent. <em>It's all about the fun!</em></p>

FoxyChris & Eve Saint-Ramon worked a lot with Lada Redstar. When they decided to create this concept of Pin-up photoshoot I was so excited I decided to share it with you!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>

<p>
<strong>A confident woman is a happy one</strong></p>
<p>
And because we are all different, I made the Classic available in a wide range of colors, to fit all needs and desires.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Sizing?</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Sublime</strong>: hips up to 86 cm</p>
<p>
<strong>Merveilleuse</strong> (Marvellous): hips up to 94 cm</p>
<p>
<strong>Légendaire</strong> (Legendary): hips up to 102 cm</p>
<p>
<strong>Extatique</strong> (Extatic): hips up to 110 cm, a bit longer</p>
<p>
<strong>Divine</strong>: hips up to 120 cm, a bit longer</p>
<p>
<em>Longer? Well, when you are not a supermodel and the inside of your thighstouch, it can hurt... Not an issue anymore!</em></p>
<p>
</p>

<p>
Custom with your first name</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why have the Classic at 28€?</strong></p>
<p>
Because any woman should be able to affort it: self-confidence is not a luxury item; either is wearing a skirt if you want to!</p>
<p>
Chic, Rock'n'Roll... it fits everywhere in your wardrobe.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I decided to lower the margin and offer you great value, which explains why the bigger sizes are at 32€ (more fabric).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Delivery</strong></p>
<p>
I will hols a party at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/barlespirates" target="_blank">Bar Les Pirates</a> to celebrate the wonderful outcome of the project, and those who can join us will get their counterpart in hand. For all others, I will send it by Post.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If you do not live in France, please add 6€ for tracking and shipment fees.</p>
Allocation of funds
<p>
My target is simple: <strong>100 "Classic" shorts, for 100 assertive women!</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
But before selling you need to manufacture. And to manufacture, you need materials!</p>
<p>
You will allow me to launch the first production for which I have to buy:</p>
<p>
- fabrics</p>
<p>
- accessories (elastic band, lace, labels...)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
And of course the brand label hand-printed by a pro for best quality!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>The more you want, the best the outcome!</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If more than 500 "Classic" are sold, I can <strong>make them in a professional workshop in France</strong>, and so participate in maintaining the textile industry.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If we get over 800 pieces, the production costs are so reduced I can add another gift with any order! I don't know what (yet) but I will figure it out eventually ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>And the machines? And the brand?</strong></p>
<p>
For most of the projects offered here, the creators put in the brand registration and everything. As I have already done this months ago, I don't want to go: "Hey! I want money back for all that!".</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If you really want to know, I bought myslef a sewing machine and an overlock of quality (300€ and 800€), I registrered the brand and logo at INPI (200€ and400€), I participate in an expo to lanuch the crowdfunding (120€), and there are all the failed designs and prototypes costng over 150€...</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Of course, if you get me over the target, I can make my accountant happy and it would be a great birthday present... Don't you know? YOU are my gift. Thanks :D</p>
