The classic Van Doren bra already has a home as one of the Kiss Me Deadly ranges, but the diamond mesh fabric is new for August 2009. The new fabric, along with the ivory contrast trim, offers the same shape and style with a bit of a girlish, sophisticated twist. There is also a new matching suspender belt (boned with a non-stretch center panel for shaping) and a full brief with matching diamon pattern rear. The suspender belt, brief, and thong come in sizes S-XL. The bra is available in sizes 32-36 B-DD and 38C-DD. If you’re looking for your own, La Magia just made their stock available on the website, and is the first site we’ve seen to release the range.

Since we last looked at Kiss Me Deadly a year ago, they have also released the Vargas Girdle and Alouette in black.

Van Mimi

Introducing the breathtaking new centrepiece of the Autumn/Winter 2008 Kiss Me Deadly collection, this was inspired by an haute couture bra from the 50’s. Made from eyelash and floral lace with satin contour panelling, it features a velvet ribbon lace up effect.

The midi bra and skirted basque have underwired, lined lace cups with padded satin sides, waist shaping reinforcement, and velvet ribbon trim. The basque also has a lace skirt, plastic boning and six detachable suspender straps with metal clips and satin ribbons.

The matching deep suspender belt has six wide straps and a centre non-stretch panel crisscrossed with velvet ribbon. The matching lace brief and thong have the same effect at the rear. Finally there is a lace short-sleeved bolero or bed jacket – this is just beautiful and perfect as evening wear to dress up an outfit or give modesty to a low cut top or corset. This set comes in sizes S, M, L and XL, 32-36 B-DD, and 38C-DD for the bra and the basque.

Sirena

Back in a new colourway we have the stunning Sirena from Kiss Me Deadly, one of the fastest selling designs we have ever known! Available for Autumn/Winter 2008 in sumptuous black satin with intricate black lace, this is a seriously desirable range. Limited numbers are available and this will sell out quickly.

The Sirena bra has a padded demi cup with a ruched lace overlay, with a wide, swooping satin strap straight from 40’s style icons and finished with delicate eyelash lace on the cups and contrasting ivory bow to the centre. The straps are, of course, fully adjustable and the back closes with standard hook and eye closure. E cups and 38 back sizes feature a flat lace overlay on the cups to provide support and fit for larger busts.

The 6-strap suspender has the same gorgeous lace detailing, as do the briefs and thong thatcomplete the range. The bra is available in sizes 32 and 34 A-E, 36B-E, and 38 C-E. All the other items are available in sizes S, M, L and XL.

Emerald Alouette

Alouette in emerald is another limited edition design from Kiss Me Deadly, designed for Autumn/Winter 2008. The padded plunge underwired bra is the same shape as the Alouette in Gold, giving a wonderfully uplifted cleavage to all bust sizes. Every girl needs a push-up bra and this is one of the best we have seen. Featuring geometric lace over a rich and elegant emerald green satin.

With all the finishing touches we know to expect from Kiss Me Deadly, chiffon bows, adjustable back and straps and wider straps for larger bust sizes. Matching 6-strap suspender, briefs and thong available.
The bra is available in 32, 34 and 36 B-DD and 38C-DD. All the other items are available in sizes from S, M, L and XL

Limited Edition Vargas Dress

Another bestseller for La Magia in previous colourways, Vargas combines flattering vintage coverage and shaping techniques with modern prints, colours and convenience. Can be worn beneath your clothes for smooth and discreet foundation wear, but unlike other control wear it is sexy enough to be worn in the bedroom. We defy any woman to wear this and not feel sexy, it is sensational! It has 6 integrated suspender straps with the all-important metal clasps to make sure your stockings stay up!

Unlike a corset there are no bones, and you can roll it on and then fasten the bra section. Its double layer mid section gives a superb waist and silhouette, and the bra is lace over mesh with a strap that elegantly swoops from the base to the shoulder. This style needs to be fitted to your bra size, and the 38’s have a concealed zip at the back for ease of fit. This style needs to be fitted to your bra size, available from 32 to 36 B–DD and 38 C–DD.

Kiss Me Deadly had so many requests for something simple and versatile to mix and match with their other items, so here it is; a retro bra and brief set in sheer black mesh. The only thing it won’t go with is their white items, but even that depends on what else you were planning to wear!

The bra cups are underwired and lined, with no padding. There are of course adjustable straps, and the decoration is simple with just a scattering of bows. The briefs are more a bikini style than the usual shorty, and on this occasion they’ve put the bow at the front. The bra is available in 32, 34 and 36 B-DD and 38C-DD. All the other items are available in sizes from S, M, L and XL

A sumptuous array of chocolates, Martin Miller’s Gin cocktails and Pussy Energy Drinks titillated the guests while beautiful burlesque, cabaret, and magic acts entertained us with a visual extravaganza of lavish, glittering costumes created by Playful Promises, Kiss Me Deadly and Fairy Gothmother. Laura London, the beautiful and youngest ever member of the magic circle amazed us with her cheeky tricks, while the stunning Japanese dancer, Maki teased with her mischievous feather performances.

Then came the main extravaganza; the eagerly anticipated performances and unique showcase of three exceptionally luscious and luxurious brands.

The charismatic Chrys Columbine amazed the audience with her exquisite baby-doll burlesque show wearing a stunning Fairy Gothmother creation.

The amazingly talented Morgana, Kiss Me Deadly’s beautiful model, seduced her audience with her incredibly visual murder mystery inspired strip tease.

The sexy, sultry Esme Bianco got the audience all hot under the collar with her cheeky and sophisticated show. The mood was sultry for her suited and booted “gentleman” character before transforming into a glamorous corseted vixen all while showing off her singing talents and the flirtatious frivolity of Playful Promises pieces.

The Vargas collection is Kiss Me Deadly’s new range of vintage-inspired control wear. It’s small right now, and quantities are limited, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. The Vargas Girdle Dress gives you shape and waist definition with a double-layer midsection, as well as a structured lace bra. There is no boning in this dress, so you can just roll it on and clasp the bra.

The Vargas Roll-On Girdle gives shaping and control in your tummy and hips. These girdles give you modern stretch-fabric technology with classic vintage styles. They come in several feminine patterns and matching stockings are also available!

Visit the Kiss Me Deadly website for boutiques and online shops where you can shop for the brand. The Alouette waist cincher isn’t available yet, but it will be available relatively soon (November) and it certainly looks worth the wait! You can also pre-order it from La Magia and get it as soon as it comes out!

Here’s another one I love: the Princess Lace bra. Absolutely gorgeous champagne lace and a super-feminine and delicate design. Very sexy too. Matching boyshorts. Like it a lot!

Also, Ever So Sexy is now selling all items individually. There’s still some complete sets to be found on the website, but they’re in the process of changing everything to individual product pages. We applaud that as it makes it easier to pick different sizing for different pieces.

Lastly they revised their shipping costs: Previously it was free for the UK and £5.00 for the rest of the world, but they decided that was a bit unfair for the European customers. So, now the structure is UK FREE, Europe £3.50. Rest of the World £5.00. Great news for everyone, seeing as the shipping costs are always a painful addition at the checkout for us European girls!

They’re now selling their Kiss Me Deadly stock at discount prices until they’re all gone! They’ve deducted £10 (that’s about $20) off the sets! Shipping is free within the UK too!

From their website: “Classic retro design but modern fabrics are the perfect combination to create sexy, seductive lingerie which is both comfortable and practical. Beautiful lingerie for beautiful women. Kiss me Deadly Alouette bra is a stunning combination of delicate black lace over passionate crimson, a black mesh back, and satin bow.”

Here’s the photo’s:

Enjoy!

Seeing as it’s hot outside here in Belgium (believe it or not the sun has been shining since Easter!) it’s this last collection I’ll be taking a closer look at! The first piece I love is the Rainbow Butterfly halter bandeau bikini. It’s one of the designs you’ll see all over the beach this summer (there’s a review on the way of a similar style bikini from Le Doux’ 2007 collection!), and this one combines the great design with a beautiful butterfly print and rainbow color pattern. I love it!

For those who don’t feel like wearing something loaded with bright colors, the Inca Gold halter bikini might be an option! It’s just as attention-grabbing (the gold looks really shiny! ) and sexy, so it’ll surely turn some heads.

Like I said, the shop has a lot more than this swimwear brand, so check them out!

Last but not least: shipping. Shipping costs are always a factor in buying online, and Ever so Sexy is very affordable on this always somewhat irritating extra expense. UK buyers get free shipping, US and EU-customers pay £5 (that’s about $10) extra. Not too bad if you ask me!

While we eagerly await the launch of the two new designs from Kiss Me Deadly, Lili and Mae, we are giving all our customers a great discount on the Alouette range currently in stock at La Magia.

Yes, that just triggered the sale-radar! La Magia is offering up to 15% off the retail price with free worldwide shipping! If you’re interested: you have until the end of this month to place your order! As a little extra, every customer who spends £30 or more on the Alouette range will receive a gorgeous pair of What Katie Did Retro Seamed Stockings for free.

Want to check out the goods? The Kiss Me Deadly page at La Magia has all these great pieces lined up for you! Enjoy!

I suggest you click right here and take a look at all the Playful Promises pieces they have in store, but for you lazy ones I’ll also show you my own little favorite: the Babyface Baby Doll Set. Made from soft black chiffon with pretty pink ribbon trim, this baby doll has underwired cups, and comes with a mesh and ribbon side-tie g-string: it works! I’m not usually too fond of babydolls (hence the low amount of articles about them – sorry!) but this one is so pretty!

La Magia really has a great stocklist. Not only do they stock Playful Promises and Made by Niki (I mentioned this before), they’ve got Kiss Me Deadly (very special, very vintage!), Velda Lauder (class-A corsetry) and What Katie Did (burlesque, anyone?). Check them out!
