The new Pretty Collection not only helps all of your clingy things fit smoothly, but also looks great, too!  In sizes 2-18, women of various shapes and sizes can feel comfortable and confident. And with prices retailing at $50 – $118, you won’t have to break the bank to do so.

Need something more basic?  The Classic Collection is for you!  Options include seamless bra, camisole, control bottom and full body pieces to wear under your most daring designs. Sizes range from 2-26 and retail from $48 – $78.

All the above are sold at numerous fine department stores, boutiques and online retailers throughout the U.S., including NeimanMarcus.com, HerRoom.com, BareNecessities.com, FreshPair.com and of course, Sassybax.com.

And for those of you who need a more creative solution, Sassybax has a collection of great fixes!  Sassynips, Sassymax, and the Very Bare Bra keep you concealed, boosted, and bared, as needed. Sassynips are reusable (about 25 wears!), adhesive nipple covers that retail at $18 and keep you from showing it all off when you don’t want to!  Sassymax are unlimited wear, non-adhesive breast enhancers that discreetly give you a little oomph!  Retailing at only $48, they are a great investment!  The adhesive Very Bare Bra keeps everything in its place when you’re wearing a daring, backless look.  A celeb fave, this bra can be worn approximately  20-50 times. For $78, that’s a great deal. The Very Bare Bra fits sizes AA-DD.

All above accessories are available at Sassybax.com.

• What Katie Did’s clearance shop is almost always full of striptease knickers, corsets, bras, and some clothing.

• 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.

• Figleaves has bargains in its eBay shop (up to 60% off), where you can search by size, color, and price.

There is plenty of one-size-fits-most lingerie out there, but you probably don’t want to risk giving her that stretchy, crotchless, fishnet body stocking unless you know for sure that she wants one. Deserved or not, many one-size-fits-all garments can be seen as cheap and trashy, and no woman wants to think that you see her as cheap or trashy! Here are some fun lingerie gifts that are small enough for a stocking, easy to choose a size, and are pretty well-received:

Hanky Panky Ornament

Ornaments

Hanky Panky has cute star ornaments with the famous stretch lace thongs inside. The one size fits women sizes 4-12 (US) so it’s a no-brainer if your love is relatively slim. If you’re not sure, take a quick peek in her lingerie drawer. If her panties have sizes between 4 and 12 or are S, M, or L, these will probably fit. If she’s plus-size or petite, don’t worry – Hanky Panky has versions for sizes 0-4 and 14-20 (even customizable!) and you can pop it in a fillable ornament. Of course the fillable ornaments are great for any panties if you are lucky enough to know her size!

Stockings

Leg Avenue Holdups

Hosiery can be an easy gift because generally there are only a few size to choose from. This isn’t the time to spring for fully fashioned stockings, as those require a more precise fit, and brands like Leg Avenue are the easiest because they are one size fits most. They aren’t the highest quality stockings out there, but they are fun, flirty, and have unique details. If you haven’t seen her in a garter belt then she might not own one, so get holdups instead (they have silicone grips on the thigh so they stay up on their own). You can find Leg Avenue and more at Yandy, where you can also get an extra 10% off with the coupon code lingeriepost.

Pasties

If she’s daring, slip a few sets of pasties in her stocking. Beware: many women are not interested in wearing these. But if you know she likes pasties and nipple tassles already, these require no sizing information at all! Pastease has a large selection of simple stick-on pasties, and Etsy has pages of unique nipple tassles, with some sellers even taking custom orders. If you have a bit more money to spend, Ophelia Fancy has some gorgeous ones as well. Be sure to include some eyelash glue or fashion tape if your selection isn’t self-adhesive.

Travel Accessories

Travel-related gifts hint at things to come, and would of course be especially exciting if they accompany plane tickets to an exotic location! Give her a lingerie travel bag for her suitcase and an eye mask (pictured is one by Mary Green) – black is a safe choice because chances are good that she has a black nightgown or chemise that it would match.

The fashion show was an opportunity for Pudding to unveil new premium ranges from exclusive brands such as Lise Charmel and Damaris as well as an increased range of sexy lingerie from 30-40 A-H cups and the brand new Pudding website puddinglingerie.com, where shoppers can now buy online for the first time.

“We’ve had a lot of customers from outside of the region since we opened and we’re delighted that we can now offer the Pudding range to lingerie connoisseurs all over the world – we offer free delivery and luxury gift wrap in the UK so lots more people can sample our luxury lingerie now.”

Owners Paul and Helen Masters were presented with the award for ‘Best Newcomer 2008’ at a Gala Ceremony Evening in London hosted by Underlines Magazine and as Helen said, “Our aim at Pudding is to make our customers feel and look fabulous and we’re really pleased that our approach has proven to be so popular in our first year and earned us the ‘Best Newcomer’ award. We wanted to celebrate our win in style – so we thought we’d treat our customers to a display of some of our fabulous new winter styles and make sure more people can now have access to them too.”

Despite the current economic climate, Pudding says demand for luxury lingerie and expert fitting is still strong. “We’ve found that while people may be thinking more about what they’re spending, they still want quality. In fact, we’ve been delighted with the response to our new premium ranges – these lines are very exclusive, with bras priced at £100 and £130 but we’ve had a lot of demand.”

“We created some eye-catching posters to promote the benefits of sexy lingerie in beating the credit crunch blues and they’ve definitely captured the imagination. We also announced the introduction of our Christmas Gift Hint Service on the night – we can now send a text message hint to men whose partner has a gift list with us- we’ve had quite a few people signing up already.”
