Lepel Lingerie Spring/Summer 2009

We’ve mentioned Lepel on The Lingerie Post before, but never in much detail and we haven’t really shown you many pictures. The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is a great time to amp up our coverage, with the perfectly spring-appropriate range full of fresh colors, airy and blossoming designs, delicate embroidery, and everyday casual styles. This new collection looks perfect to wear as everyday underwear – it’s not so fancy that you wouldn’t want to wear it during the day, but it’s still pretty enough that you’ll want someone to see you in it when you get home! With bras in sizes up to a G cup and panties up to size 18, almost everyone will be able to find something to fit and flatter. Here are some of my favorites:

First up, the Dusk style features oversized florals in lilac and midnight blue. The satin plunge bra makes a set with boyshorts or a thong.

Secret Garden is light and airy with delicate lace and ruffles adorned with an embellished floral design.

The fresh Sasha set includes a padded bra and boyshorts or a string in soft neutrals and energizing coral.

Firm favorite Athena is stylish and sweet with polka dots and soft scallops.

There are plenty of other new designs, so keep your eye on Figleaves UK, Debenhams, Bravissimo, House of Fraser, and Fenwicks, as well as your local boutique, to find your own favorite styles for spring!

Julie Lantry is the Australian designer behind the brand Bulb. “The bulb experience presents a world of love, lust and luxury in true boudoir style.” Bulb also has distinctive feminine touches on luxurious fabrics. “Comfort is the key, using Italian knits perfect for traveling, lounging, yoga or walking and there are stretch Silks and Crochet cottons you won’t want to leave for just until bedtime. The Bulb woman enjoys blurring the line with their beautiful adaptable loungewear by wearing them from bed to play to party.”

Bulb keeps growing and now has a retail outlet in Double Bay, Sydney. Stockists include Fenwicks of London and Elizabeth Charles in New York along with many other Australian Boutiques.

Bulb claims some international stars are fans of their creation including Cate Blanchett, Melanie Griffith, Lindsey Lohan, Sarah Wynter, Toni Collette, Kate Ceberano and Jodhi Meares.
