Inspired by Queen Victoria, the Victorian Gothic era, and other things dark and exotic, the Fall/Winter collection features intricate details, interesting patterns, and intriguing designs.

Fall/Winter 1, currently available in stores, is inspired by Victorian Indian Summer with unique collections including Wild Life, a exotic, safari inspired pattern (incorporating zebra, leopard, and tiger markings!), Language of Flowers, featuring pops of a bold, floral pattern, Oriental Beauty, inspired by Persian palace architecture, Salomina, inspired by the geometry of Persian carpets, and Queer Pets, featuring an embroidered monogram as an accent to both the bras and panties.  Each group in cludes a variety of bra styles including padded plunge, padded plunge balcony, unpadded plunge balcony, and padded french balcony.  Corresponding panties include a thong, brazilian short, tanga, brief, and short.

Fall/Winter 2, Dark Fever, explores a parallel universe.  The Deamon collection, named after the wild animal alter egoes of The Golden Compass, include accent prints of snakes against raspberry red and leopard against chocolate brown.  The show stopper?  The animal print trims are zippers!  Hot!  The other collections include Dark Victoria, a classic floral lace pattern of black on grey inspired by the  elaborate mourning fashion of Queen Victoria, Beautiful Bat, black microfibre accented with leather and inspired by Victorian Gothic Horror and lady vampires, Masked Ball, black microfibre accented with ruffled elastic trim and edgy miniature gunmetal studs, Divination, featuring prints of 19th century copperplate writing and mythical creatures inspired by fortune telling and tarot cards, and Secret Society, a black stretch mesh featuring prints in silvery grey flock.  In addition to the bra and panty styles listed above, this range features a very sexy waspie in Dark Victoria, knitted top in Beautiful Bat, jersey top and eyemask in Masked Ball, suspender in Divination, and a body (aka teddy), peek-a-boo unpadded plunge, and stockings in Secret Society.

Christmas Crackers is the theme for Fall/Winter 3.  Collections include Key to Deliverance, black velvety flock on black mesh is accented by tiny patterned keys in gunmetal is inspired by A Christmas Carol, Red Xmas, a poinsettia colored collection sprinkled with glittering rhinestones, The Spirit of Christmas, styled with engraved flowers in deep purples and accented with a favorite phrase of Marlies, ‘Let me lead you elsewhere to that boundless space where your spirit is already free,’ Christmas Baubles, a ribbon braid  accented holly red microfibre celebrating the Victorian tradition of decorating a fir tree, and Global Fireworks, the Swarovski crystal adorned, Platinum collection which pays tribute to New Year’s Eve celebrations.  Again, the collection features a range of mix and match options for bras and panties and also include stockings in The Spirit of Christmas and suspenders, a babydoll, and a nightgown in Global Fireworks.

Marlies Dekkers bras range in sizes from A-F (including some maternity styles!) and panties XS-XXL.  Check Marlies Dekkers or your retailer for specifics.  Marlies Dekkers is sold at leading retailers including Journelle (where I just bought mine!), Neiman Marcus, and Honey’s Lingerie.

Very special thanks to the AMAZING photographer of all these looks – Carin Verbruggen.  What phenomenal photos!!!

While I’ve never had it before, just looking at the photos has my mouth watering! Like it’s namesake, Marjolaine Lingerie looks exquisite and wonderfully indulgent. Comprised of chemises and nightgowns with a few other sleepwear pieces thrown into the mix, Marjolaine seems to have two distinct moods. Some pieces in the collection are light, airy, and girly with feminine prints and floral patterns. On the other hand, there is also a large variety of perfectly sensual pieces with perfectly incorporated lace. Then there are a few chemises that meet in the middle, with the seductive styles created in bright, energetic colors.

Marjolaine’s designer, Carole Guerin, uses lycra, satin, muslin, lace, and silk in these gorgeous designs. I don’t have a lot of information beyond that; even the English translation of the Marjolaine website has the company information written in French. So I’ll just show you the dreamy photographs!

He is quite proud of the accomplishments of his organization including top-notch designers, highly skilled seamstresses and quality control staff. They all should be proud, as the collection is classic elegance. He plays an active role in the company with his key designers searching the world over for the best fabrics that can be custom coloured to David Nieper’s brand specifications. A very important and successful point of his marketing plan is the fact that he and his staff deal directly with the customer thereby providing exclusive designs. David Nieper garments are not sold in retail shops owned by others.

All the garments proudly display the traditional “Made in England” label coupled with the initials of the seamstresses who worked on the individual items to further add to the quality workmanship and authenticity of the piece. Meticulous detail is the standard and all of the production decisions are focused on the finer details of the garments. For example,

  • lace used in the slips, camisoles and other fine lingerie is softened so that it does not irritate the skin,
  • the lace must mold and fit the body perfectly after it is sewn to the garment,
  • the computer cuts the patterns with such precision that customers say the garment size was custom made for themselves,
  • each customer’s order is monitored through all stages of production,
  • and even the quality control people are trained about each individual garment in minute detail so they can quickly find any problems.

So detail oriented is the company that the box in which the garment is shipped is individually made specific for that garment.

Reviewing the picture perfect slip, camisole and nightgown collections, one can see this fine, intricate workmanship in the pretty David Nieper pearl satin slips with exquisite lace around the hems and bodice.
