Mimi Holliday Lingerie Autumn/Winter 2009

August 25, 2009 by Bert

Great news for Mimi Holliday fans: the Autumn/Winter ’09 collection is finished, and available for order. Obviously – we’re here to show you the range, with info and pics thanks to FairyGothMother!

The Belle Amour nude silk bra has a layer of pretty black lace which ruffles under the bustline, which matches perfectly with their trademark flirty peep-hole hipster boyshorts, in luxuriously comfortable black stretch lace and nude silk. The nude theme is continued in their Snowdrop set, featuring a balconette bra with gathered silk chiffon and French lace overlay, finished with a cute pale peach silk bow in the centre, again with a matching hipster peep-bole boyshort, this time in nude lace with a silk waistband.

The scarlet Rosada oozes glamour and sex appeal, and the silk chiffon and thick lace which delicately decorates the cleavage will make you feel a million dollars. This is the perfect lingerie set for the temptresses amongst us, especially when worn with the matching bow-back chiffon thong, red lipstick and sky-high heels! And ooh, shiny – the Zepherine with its plunge padded bra and matching sheer-back knickers is for all disco divas. In black silk chiffon with a sprinkling of sequins, this set catches the light beautifully.

After joining Facebook only a couple months ago, we’ve now launched an official TLP Twitter page! We’ll be using Twitter as a means of letting you know where we’ll be, what new sales we’ve found, what we’ve posted we feel is worth an extra mention, all of our giveaways … and so much more! Obviously we’ll need some getting used to the format as we’re not experienced tweeters, but we hope to make this a very useful TLP-tool none the less!

The Undie Awards 2009 Winners

June 16, 2009 by Bert

America has voted. The ballots have been counted and the results are in! Women and men have cast more than 20,000 votes for their favorite underwear by type, brand and style as part of the 2009 Undie Awards. The Undie Awards Winners were announced today via the awards’ website, www.theundies.com.

Over a one-month period, voters of all shapes and sizes anonymously participated in the awards, which cover bras, panties and shapewear.

Now in their third year, the Undie Awards are designed to celebrate all things lingerie. In addition to encouraging voters to nominate their preferred pair for greatness, the awards also seek to educate consumers on how to best pick out underwear that is right for them.

To this end, voters in the awards were asked to “let (their) body type do the voting” by entering their age range and height and then characterizing their body type, based on – (for the women) – bra and panty sizes as well as bust, tummy and bottom type OR – (for the men) – chest, waist and leg type as well as waist size.

“Participating in the Undie Awards provides women and men with real peer-to-peer information they can use to select the right fit and style, in tops and bottoms,” said Tomima Edmark, lingerie & undergarment expert. “What’s more, the awards introduce voters to brands they might be unfamiliar with, especially via the ‘select’ winner categories, which are determined by our staff as a way of highlighting smaller brands.”

This year’s Overall Favorite Bra (Average Figure) is the Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Contour Stretch Bra 75-266. This bra is claiming highest honors for the second year in a row, due to its simple style, comfort and cleavage. One voter wrote, “hands down the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn.” Sizes range from 32B to 42C.

The Overall Favorite Bra (Full Figure) is the Panache Superbra Tango II Underwire Balconnet Bra 3251. Women chose this stylish bra for its fit and comfort, not to mention its support. One voter wrote, “…love this bra. For my size it has THE BEST support!” Band sizes range from 30-44 and cup sizes from D-JJ.

The Overall Favorite Panty is the Olga Secret Hug Nylon Scoop Halfpant Panty 913, which features a “scoop” design with a center back seam that keeps the panties where they belong while providing natural definition. This brief wears well and is the perfect everyday panty for sizes 5-9.
