Pieces for this answer.
01
11:40, the table
Order the second coffee before the first is finished. A satin cami and shorts set under a loose shirt is the right level of dressed for a table by a window: nothing shows, everything feels deliberate. Ask for the corner table, not the one in the middle. Sit where the light falls on the person you are with rather than on the room. Brunch is a spectator sport only if you make it one.
02
12:20, the second coffee
This is when the conversation changes from the week to the afternoon. Do not rush it. Ask a question you would not ask on a Tuesday. If the answer is short, let it be short. Order something you will still be thinking about at four. The set is already doing its work under the shirt, and the fact that you know it is there is most of the effect. Nobody else at the table needs to be told.
03
13:10, the walk
Walk home the long way. A cami under a coat is a better decision than a structured piece, because it moves and does not announce itself. Buy something for later: fruit, bread, a bottle of something cold. The walk is the hinge of the day. Take the route with the trees, even if it adds ten minutes. If it starts raining, that is not a problem; it is a reason to go home earlier.
04
15:00, the flat
Shoes off, curtains half closed. The plus-size sheer nightdress is the piece for this hour: light enough for a warm afternoon, soft enough for lying down. Do not treat the bedroom as a destination yet. Sit on the sofa first. A glass of water on the floor within reach is the only preparation. Sundays work when the afternoon has no fixed start time, and the outfit should not create one.
05
17:30, the light changes
Late afternoon light is the reason to keep the curtains open. Put on something for the evening or put on nothing at all; both are allowed. The piece from brunch can go straight into the laundry basket. Put the kettle on before you decide anything else. What matters is that the day had a shape: table, walk, flat, and a slow change of light. Monday can wait until it is actually Monday.

Questions
Quick answers.
What lingerie works from Sunday brunch to the afternoon?
What do I wear to brunch if I want to stay comfortable?+
A cami and shorts set under a loose shirt. Comfort is what makes the transition possible, and nobody at the table needs to know.
Do I need to change before the afternoon?+
No. If the piece is soft enough, it works from the table to the sofa, and the sofa is a fine destination.
Is brunch too public for lingerie?+
It is invisible under clothes. The privacy is in what you know, not in what shows, which is the pleasure.
