It was time for tea for Playful Promises last week as we threw a fabulous press day party - ‘Cream Tea and Corsetry’ - in the lavish surroundings of Portland Place with Kiss Me Deadly and Lulu and Lush!
After the initial panic of trying to remember all of the days essentials (2 taxis were required [...]

It’s been a month since our first catalog started arriving in people’s homes, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. In addition to the styles we knew would be top sellers, such as the new Wacoal Luxe bra that graced our cover, and the popular Body Sculpt bra from Chantelle (*such* a great [...]

Fini! www.patrickandskinner.com! The web site is done and I have learnt to exhale though out the process. Ah the joys of lessons learned, sometimes you feel like you are being schooled continuously, that the light at the end of the tunnel is there, but too far to walk to in your stilettos!
We did everything in [...]

Getting the size right when buying lingerie can be a major issue whether you are buying lingerie for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
On the high street shoppers mostly buy off the rack with a glance at the sizing label before they head to the check out. Online is really no different [...]

Fittings and fun is how best to describe the past few weeks in the P.S camp. We are well into completing our serving of “The Custard Creams” for a very artistic photo shoot we have planned. Though it has not been without sweat and an occasional tear of frustration. The samples for the shoot are [...]

Phew! Playful Promises is breathing a sigh of relief now the crazy busy trade show period has finally come to an end.

In England it is hard to believe that summer is not so far away as it is still cold and wet and only the other morning I had to scrape ice off the car windscreen before coming to work. But here at www.ever-so-sexy.com we know for sure that the warmer weather really will be [...]

Amidst the fury of ideas that has been my torment and my excitement thus far, I think we are finally beginning to tame my ideals into a fertile base that is both sensible and fun.

Just 11 days to Valentines Day. This is one of our busiest times of the year and so I need to be disciplined to make time to write my contribution to TLP. I decided the best thing would be to write a mini diary… so here goes.
Sunday 3rd February and the building is quiet. [...]

A couple of weeks into our boutique and things develop really well! Funny, how different products sell in each channel. The internet is definitely more specialist or more simple. It sounds contradictory but what we see is, that people seem to look either for the special stuff, that doesnt sell at every corner, or [...]

[We were hoping to have this blog entry up before Valentine's Day, but unfortunately that didn't work out. Our apologies!)]

I just got back from Curve Lingerie trade show. This year they are paired up with “Boutique Lingerie”, segmented especially for smaller lines ideal for boutiques.
