To pack an even bigger punch, take a cue from the Spring/Summer 2011 catwalks of Prada and Versace and mix clashing neon colors.

You can find these vivid shades at Figleaves:

Victoria’s Secret:

and Hips & Curves:

Don’t want quite so much color? You can also find just a hint at Agent Provocateur and Frederick’s of Hollywood:

The only rule is this: do not wear if you don’t want to be noticed!

How do you feel about the neon trend? Too bright? Just right? Let us know!

Anything with a ribbon or a bow on the side always gets an extra glance from me. And I’m also a huge sucker for Valentine’s Day-themed items, enough to keep some stuff out all year long! So when I saw these Valentine’s Day bikini briefs from Figleaves Boudoir, my heart leapt a little! There are four available messages: Be my Valentine, Gorgeous, Sweet Cheeks, and Love you. Aren’t they adorable?

These knickers are made of satin and chiffon, and are available at Figleaves US ($22.50).

But sometimes buying on eBay can be nerve-wracking – you never know who you’re dealing with, where the lingerie is coming from, or if it’s authentic. Thankfully, some of our favorite lingerie brands and retailers actually run their own eBay shops to sell off unsold or or end of the line merchandise. Here’s a few links, along with some screen caps from the day this post was written to give you an idea of the availability and prices.

  • Farr West Slips’ outlet shop has a smaller, constantly-changing inventory. It’s a great place to find a discount on one of my favorite slip brands. They also have other items now and then, like tap pants or pajamas.

Do you know of any others? Leave a comment and let us know!

Plenty of women love the freedom they feel going bra-less while sleeping, but for me it is just plain uncomfortable! I know I’m not the only one, either, as lingerie manufacturers have begun offering more sleepwear with built-in cups and support. Here are a few options.

For lounging around the house or even during the day, Figleaves D-G has solid-color underwire camisoles sold in bra sizes. Pair these with your favorite pajama shorts or lounge pants. If you are interested in this cami, be sure to check out our sales page for a coupon code good on Figleaves D-G items! (Edit: Uh oh! Looks like the coupon code expired this morning.)

If you’re looking for something a little prettier, HerRoom has these sweet options from Patagonia, Fleur’T, and Natori.

Want a nightgown instead? Bravissimo has fun patterened options with soft bra support. The white cotton broderie anglaise version will be available at the end of the month.

If your style is a little more glam, Rhonda Shear has you covered. Her sexy creations have built-in support, often incorporating the shelf bra bands into a keyhole back design. You can find Rhonda Shear at HerRoom.

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!

Products already include lingerie basics, loungewear, men’s basics, hosiery, sleepwear, towels, and more. Figleaves has already discontinued several styles (including my favorites, sadly) and is constantly adding more to its repertoire. The newest edition to the brand portfolio is Midnight Grace, a line scheduled to come out very soon (mid-February).  Midnight Grace is aimed at the fuller-figured market, combining support and fashion in bra sizes 32D-38G. Rachael Smith, head of buying at Figleaves UK, says of the new endeavor, “This exciting new brand is a direct response to the needs of our customers and ensuring we are always at the forefront of up-to-the-minute brands.”

Check out some early photos of the collection right here, and keep an eye on Figleaves UK for these pieces to be available for sale!

Spring/Summer 2009 http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2009/02/pour-moi-springsummer-2009/ http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2009/02/pour-moi-springsummer-2009/#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:00:37 +0000 Kelly http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/?p=3481 We haven’t mentioned Pour Moi? much since Mandolina introduced the brand in 2006, the year it was launched. This feminine and affordable brand has been flying under the radar, but we have just received word about two of the newest ranges from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection!

First, the Elegance range is a bridal collection with a creative and romantic color scheme. The ivory Italian satin is covered with large yet intricate gold rose embroidery. The range includes a strapless bra, basque, and waspie in a large size range, from 32A-38E. The briefs come in sizes 8-18.

The vintage-inspired Victoriana range also features floral embroidery, designed to become a favorite in the soft pink and chocolate colors. The range includes several bras, a basque, three different briefs, and a suspender. The bras come in sizes 30A-40G, and the briefs are offered in sizes up to 20.

You can find Pour Moi at Figleaves (US/UK), Asos, Simply Yours, and Littlewoods Direct.

Seafaerygirl asked in the comments, “Any chance you could find ‘days-of-the-week’ panties for less?”

Well, Seafaerygirl, I did find a few options! It’s not a very common design in adult lingerie, which is why the Stella McCartney set I showed you a while ago was so special. But the good news is that I was able to unearth a few less expensive alternatives. First up, a set of cotton knit boyshorts by Mary Green, with the embroidery on the hip.

The complete set is $90-$92, which isn’t a budget-breaker when you consider that you are getting a set of seven. You can find this set at HipUndies and In the Mood Intimates. Panties.com offers a brighter color scheme for $85 a set.

Figleaves UK and Figleaves US also offer their own version of low-rise satin briefs.

On the US site, the set is normally $74 and is currently on sale for $37. The UK site sells theirs for £49, and there is no sale price at this time.

The final set I found is from Austique, a brand I hadn’t heard of before. At Austique, you can buy the panties individually by day for £10 a piece. The complete set also includes a “Happy Day” pair, in case you don’t finish your laundry on time!

You can find yours at Austique.com. I hope this helps Seafaerygirl and anyone else looking for this nostalgic style!

The black mesh pieces available right now include a sheer front cinch bra in a wide range of sizes (30-38, A-FF!). This bra has no underwires and is especially popular in larger cup sizes. The thong is totally new and won’t even be available anywhere else until 2009! The suspender belt can be adjusted from 11cm to 21cm, and there is even the suspender skirt we all admired in the forums (and it’s on sale right now!).
