House of Fraser is an institute in the UK and Ireland with over sixty stores, one hundred and fifty years in the business, and several new store openings slated for 2008. In recent months they have made online shopping available through their extensive website and offer a convenient telephone sales desk with delivery as well. A High Street retailer, House of Fraser offers the finest and most luxurious lingerie labels on the market. It would be well worth the visit to see this exclusive celebration.

The John Lewis Romance Collection in ivory lace is considered the bridal line that includes a strapless bra, bustier, thong, boyshorts, and garter belt. Sleep or loungewear is found in the soft cotton Jacqueline Spa Grey Collection comprised of a long sleeved pyjama top, drawstring waist pyjama pant and belted robe.

Moving on to the Geisha group of bustier, bra and shorts, this is a sexier style with red orchids on black satin and delicate lace embellishments. Fun and flirtatious is the Renee Camelia ensemble consisting of pink underwire bra with lace highlights around the breasts, pretty thong adorned with sweet bow and lace legs, and the feminine shorts with lace waist and legs. The cotton beetroot pink polka dot bra and panties are just as cute with perfect spring elements.

While all the John Lewis lines are fun, sexy and downright beautiful, it appears that the sizes run small from size eight to size fourteen, limiting the number of women who might wear the line. But then who would have imagined finding such nice lingerie while looking for bed sheets?

As well as the John Lewis brand of lingerie, the store stocks luxury lines by Fantasie, Lejaby, Gossard, Royce, Freya and Elle Macpherson.

Having released their own Spring Summer 2008 Collection, which included brands such as Zebra by Palmers Paradise, Cashmere Love by Palmers Selezione and Ellie by Palmers, Palmers plans to continue with the Lejaby lines of Nuage, Envies, Rasurel and Elixir while at the same time move forward with their existing lines. Combining the two companies’ brands will heighten awareness from the expanded sales channels and jettison Palmers into the top three of European lingerie companies.

The UK site has Aubade bras for £23.00, Eberjey chemises for £24.00, Frankly Darling bras for £21.50, and Lejaby panties for £10.50. These deals are really too good to pass up! But you’d better shop quickly – these sales will only last as long as the sale items are in stock! I was stupid enough to wait too long on one of my favorite bras, and it sold out before I made my order. Don’t make the same mistake I did!

Devilishly rich hues mixed with bold embroidery, Lejaby’s new collection effortlessly infuses classic design with daringly contemporary motifs. Inspired by Napoleonic military design, Lejaby’s sculpted range juxtaposes masculine military lines with luscious feminine lace and voile. The contrast of style, fabrics and colours – military style gold embroideries and ornamental trimmings mixed with light and simple transparent fabrics – unite to celebrate the assertive woman.

This range will include a full cup, half cup bra, and a moulded foam half cup with delicate embroidery detail, matched with either a mini string, tanga, brief or boxer and will be available in shades of black, brandy or rich burgundy. There is also a beautiful halter neck bustier in this range. Available in black velvet, the bustier mixes subtle features on a military theme with ultra feminine mousseline, bows and a corset effect belt which can be tightened at the waist.

Mystery and romantic charm surrounds Lejaby’s ‘Baroque’ inspired collection- think striking wrought iron motifs and delicate black Crystal. The colour ‘black’ plays an important role in the dark, mysterious styling of this range. Transparent precious Chantilly lace against skin, coupled with rich guipure embroidery, decorated with lavish ribbon detail, creates a seductive rebellious effect.

This lingerie range is available in dove grey mixed with brown satin ribbon, ruby red with violet ribbon and black with gold ribbon. Styles include a full cup and half cup padded bra, as well as a new moulded foam bra which has an ultra flat, folded neckline without stitching for complete invisibility. These bras can be matched with either a tanga, mini thong, brief and high brief with removal suspenders.

These 9 shots are all from the Lejaby website — and they’re my favorites. I love the high waists, I love the vintage/retro feel of the envies line, and I adore the atmosphere in the photos. Excellent work — I’m the sure lingerie is excellent too.
