Busy Sarah

August 8, 2009 by Rene

Sarah Wizemann, the blogger, business woman, crime fighter, boutique owner, and designer is busy again with the newest pieces for her own Gatsby collection. Sarah told TLP about the collection.

The latest Gatsby collection was inspired by iconic starlets of yesteryear: Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, Vivien Leigh, Veronica Lake and Josephine Baker. In keeping with the Gatsby theme, the styles are reminiscent of the 1920s and comprised of silk, vintage lace and antique buttons. I used art nouveau motifs in the machine embroidery on some of the styles. The color palate was inspired by the beautiful magnolia trees that were in bloom at the time I made the collection.

Sarah doesn’t sell the Gatsby line at her boutique. Instead, she uses Etsy for these very special pieces. The Veronica is $250 US and the full set for Clara Bow is also $250 (knicker, bra, suspender belt).

All photos from the Gatsby collection were taken by photographer Lisa Warninger. Visit her at www.lisawarninger.com. Photos of Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, Veronica Lake, and Josephine Baker are believed to be in the public domain.

Dress My Nest Around My Rhinestone Garter Belt

July 22, 2009 by Rene

The Style Network runs a show called Dress My Nest in the US. A designer, Thom (from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), helps people fix up their homes. To get a sense of their style, Thom asks for “3 and 3” – three things you love and three things that reflect your style. He uses these props as inspiration. Rarely do the props become actual centerpieces of the room. On a recent episode (iTunes US), Thom is helping Tabitha. Tabitha is a single gal that is settling down after taking a turn globe trotting the world as a magician’s assistant.

One of Tabitha’s items is a rhinestone garter belt. (Click here to watch a small clip from the show and to see Tabitha unveil her three choices). I’m pretty sure I remember that piece from three years ago when Victoria’s Secret was producing a fall line and adding their own sense of glamour. I haven’t tracked any of the originals, even on the vast eBay. Frederick’s of Hollywoodicon is offering a kit of bra and string for $39.00 US a piece.

I was also able to track down an actual garter belt from Body Lingerie for $39.75 US.

If you have no idea what to do with a garter belt (and I’m not sure why you would be reading TLP), then you can take some lessons from this instructional video.

And you can take a look at the designed room and the resources needed.

On the lookout – Cybele

July 21, 2009 by Rene

Cybele is a lingerie company from the Netherlands. They offered standard fair for everyday lingerie and pyjamas. Some of the pieces had nice details. From the website, the last time the collection was updated was 2006.

Around that time, Cybele was added to the portfolio of the German lingerie company Naturana.

I can only find one store offering Cybele. The Lingerie Store in the UK has a knicker and camisole on deep discount.

If you know of any news of Cybele, leave a comment and I’ll investigate.

The Ups and Downs of Lingerie

July 21, 2009 by Rene

It has been a long year with plenty of economic misery to spread around. Six months ago, TLP ran a story about the effects of the recession for different sectors of the lingerie industry. There are so many stories of bad news and even stories of good news. The boutique, Sirens on Third, did not make it. The hope of future sales did not materialize.
