Pluto Lingerie: Loungewear from Belgium

Refinement. Elegance and crisp, clean lines dominate the Summer 2008 collection created by Pluto Lingerie from Belgium. Heavenly fabrics and delicate embellishments in soft, comfortable styles are standards of this fine lingerie company. Garments designed for wishing upon a bright star in the sky, Pluto strives to “develop a high-end collection with quality fabrics, meticulous detail, striking silhouettes and a touch of Belgian creativity”.

Child-like and feminine are the Romantic Jersey Nightdress and Baby Beach Dress. Pure white fabrics for a hot summer night in pretty voile and Lycra jersey with lace pockets and hems show the dainty and fanciful side of Pluto sleepwear. Sweet fuschia coloured polka dots on white cotton with spaghetti straps and fuschia satin ribbon intertwined to highlight the v-neck are features of another dreamy summer nightgown.

In addition to Pluto’s newest summer collection, their basic lines are available as well. Basic would not be a good choice of terminology, however, to describe these lovely pieces that exude timeless elegance. Both PinkCamellia.com and NancyMeyer.com have large selections of the luxuriously, rich garments. Long fleece robes, flannel nightshirts, jacquard pyjamas, and cotton gowns make fashion statements of the garments even while sleeping.

The short ribbed nightdress, with lace edgings under the arms, along the hem and above the neckline, is fitted to look elegant with matching robe in pretty white, turquoise or lilac. A cool cotton pyjama set in sleeveless top with ruffles along the hem and bow at the back of the waist couples with the cropped pants in turquoise and white stripes.

Pluto may have been dropped, to some, from the list of planets but Pluto Lingerie is not ready to become archived yet. Their collections have endured since 1976 and individual pieces are sold throughout the world at high-end boutiques and quality online retailers.
