Like the line’s first range, which debuted earlier this year, the collection is modeled by English socialite Peaches Gedolf, who has been quoted saying working with Miss Ultimo is “fun and exciting.” One thing’s for sure, this range is just as adorable and edgy as the first!

Luckily, the styles are also moderately-priced and range from £8 to £18 (about $14 to $29). The pieces will be available for purchasing at Ultimo’s website and at Debenhams. Thanks to Ultimo for these images!

And in true Tesco fashion, the pieces offer a great value with items selling for as little as £7 a pop.

“I’m so proud to have produced something that’s so accessibly priced, but doesn’t comprise on quality or fit,” said Mone. (pictured left)

Coming in sizes 32A to 38D for bras and 8 to 18 for briefs, Diamond Boutique features charming styles made with satin, silk and lace. English singer Jessica Taylor (pictured right) has been tapped to be the face and body of the brand.

“I love the new collection, it’s so pretty and really, really luxurious,” said Taylor. “Every woman loves beautiful lingerie and feeling fabulous, and the new Diamond Boutique collection delivers on both counts! The designs from the new range are incredibly stylish, but without the designer price tag.”

We’ve seen HerRoom bounce test their sports bras, but Ultimo took bra testing to the extreme when they had their models not run or jump, but ride rollercoasters in Ultimo bras! This promotional video, shot at the Alton Towers Resort, shows models on the rides wearing nothing but their Ultimo lingerie to prove that the brand offers bras that support well and prevent accidental exposure.

Morwenna Angove, Sales and Marketing Director for the Alton Towers Resort, said, “Whilst we understand that in warmer climates women will wear skimpier clothing, the tests show that well-fitted brassieres such as those from the Ultimo range will help to control the risk of further unprecedented exposures in the future.”

It looks like the bras shown in the video are the Perfect Line Lace Balcony Bra, the Ella Balcony Bra, and the Soleil Plunge Bra.

It is exclusively modeled by Peaches Geldof (who we’ve seen before modeling for Agent Procovateur), who said:

“Working with Miss Ultimo was fun and exciting – they’re the number on lingerie brand in Britain so to be asked to be the face of their new range was very flattering. Miss Ultimo is young and fun, with just the right amount of sexiness and stylishness. I love the ’sailor’ set and the fit is perfect. Miss Ultimo is a great brand who have come up trumps with this collection.”

Miss Ultimo is fun and flirty, with just enough attitude! With bold prints, bright colors, and eye-catching details, this isn’t lingerie for wallflowers! My favorites are Hello Sailor and Tattoo, although they’re all perfectly girly and sexy. The collection is aimed at 20-somethings, with prices to match – all the bras are £18 and the matching knickers are only £8. Bras are available in sizes 30B-38DD, and knickers are available in sizes 8-18. Visit Ultimo.co.uk to purchase.

The 21-year old’s picture was on the mosaic ad formed with thousands of images of women in the new range, with the tagline “D-G. Because we’re more than a handful.”The problem came after Wonderbra picked her. Green broke the contract with Wonderbra when she was asked to lose two stone and drop from a UK size 12 to a size 8-10. The size 30F beauty said of the news, “I really didn’t know where my career was going to go after the depression of being told I was too fat…Had I lost the two stone, I would have looked like a bag of bones. I won’t sacrifice my health.”

Despite her weight being too much for Wonderbra, Ultimo snapped Green up immediately. Michelle Mone, creator of Ultimo, said,

“I was appalled to hear that Katie was told she was too fat to model lingerie. She has an Katie Green for Ultimoincredible shape and represents real women throughout the UK. We’re delighted to have her on board – I’m sure she’ll be a huge success and a wonderful ambassador for Ultimo…Katie’s figure is beautiful and she looks so sexy in our latest designs.”

It looks like Wonderbra really screwed up this time. If you want a thinner model, why hold a competition to find a more full-figured woman?

But you are one of the very many lucky women if you know of the company EnVie from England. They pride themselves on having something to fit any woman, big or small, because their specialty is making unusual sizes that are not readily found elsewhere.

A family run business for over ten years, Jane Mills, the owner, has over twenty years experience in the lingerie industry. In addition to their own handmade lingerie, the company also offers lingerie and swimwear from other name labels that offer odd sizing. Many of the 2008 lingerie and swimwear collections are now available on the EnVie website.

The outstanding feature about this company, that caught my eye,One Way Stretch embroidered lace was the fact that they sell hundreds of different laces by the meter for custom made pieces. The customer chooses the lace that she likes and the designers start sewing. This is ideal for matching other pieces or finding the perfect colour to wear under a particular garment.

Customer service seems to be paramount with EnVie as the company offers specialty services such as converting bras that are now too small, cutting patterns to remake a bra that has been discontinued by the manufacturer, offering phone orders, website help and in shop orders as well. Personal one-on-one appointments are also encouraged. Some of the labels carried by EnVie: Panache, Playtex, Anita, Ultimo…
