Six generations of corsetieres have perpetuated the "Cadolle touch" here: that unique blend of technicality and refinement, passed down from mother to daughter since the invention of the corselet-bra by Herminie Cadolle.
Cotton stands out for its softness against the skin and its ability to breathe, two precious qualities for lingerie worn close to the body throughout the day. This collection brings together cotton bras, briefs, and nightwear in the House's proprietary custom colors — a palette chosen in the workshop that distinguishes each piece from standardized production. Some pieces are enhanced with a lace finish on the edge of the cup, the briefs, or the nightgown, a discreet marriage between the naturalness of cotton and the couture delicacy that distinguishes Cadolle.
Cotton is particularly suited for wire-free or softly supportive lingerie pieces: high-waisted briefs, comfortable bras, babydolls, and nightgowns for both nights and indoor wear. Its matte texture, in contrast to the shine of silk or satin, makes it a sober and timeless material, perfect to wear from morning to night. This versatility makes it a foundation of the intimate wardrobe, far from exceptional occasions but never far from Cadolle elegance.
This collection is aimed at women who seek lasting daily comfort without sacrificing a refined finish: white cotton for simplicity, a custom color for a touch of character, a hint of lace for delicacy. For body types that don't fit standard sizes, custom-made remains the ultimate expression of Cadolle's expertise. Each custom piece is made in our Parisian workshops, where measurements and fittings allow for adjusting the cut to each client's exact body shape.
How to choose and care for your cotton lingerie:
The choice of a cotton piece depends primarily on the desired use: a soft, wire-free cut for everyday comfort, a wider band for enhanced daytime support in bras. As cotton tends to relax slightly after several washes, it is advisable to regularly check the adjustment of straps and elastic to maintain optimal support.
Regarding care, cotton can be machine washed at a low temperature, but hand washing preserves the elasticity and hold of lace finishes longer. Avoiding the tumble dryer helps maintain the material's softness over washes.
