3/4 Cup Bra

‘A Jour’ Lingerie

by

I just discovered the Ukrainian A Jour brand today, and I must admit I was a bit sceptic when I heard about a Ukrainian brand trying to conquer the world with a combination of various styles and designers from their home nation… Their website has quite a lot of information, including their very ambitious Mission Statement:

“Our mission is to create fashion collections of lingerie that will meet the tendencies of both, designers’ and mass collections. We are also trying to stimulate the creation of fashion lingerie collections by native designers, as well as to contribute to the development of “lingerie direction” in Ukrainian fashion.”

Their spring/summer 2007 however doesn’t look that ambitious at all… A lot of quite conservative designs and light colors dominate the collection. I was about to browse back to previous collections to see whether or not this was just a collection that didn’t fit my taste, when I saw this absolutely gorgeous Night blues set… I had to include the full size photo, as it’s THAT pretty!

How great is that? Decadent ribbon usage, lovely embroidery and beautiful 3/4 cups that are just plain stunning. What a masterpiece!

I’m contacting the people at A Jour today… I just have to know where I can get my hands on this set, and at what price…. 😉

Aubade Lingerie Sale!

by

Aubade Tresor Divin 3-4 Demi Underwire BraIn The Mood Intimates is stunting! They’re doing a gigantic 50% off sale on all Aubade lingerie they have in their shop, which means a collection of amazing bargains on some of Aubade’s most amazing pieces! A few weeks before Christmas, I suggest giving this one a chance!

The Aubade Tresor Divin 3/4 Demi Underwire Bra in the photo top left is one of those bargains. The price is down from $129.00 to $64.50! The Tresor Divin 3/4 Demi has slightly more coverage than a ordinary Demi bra. Made with broderie anglaise and Aubade Bonne Aventure Demi Cup Braguipure lace that ensures a revealing and coquettish fit and tiny bows to add a final touch on each strap. It’s a great bra, and the sale price is extremely competitive!

Our second pick from the complete Aubade sale is the Bonne Aventure Demi Cup bra. It has embroidered motifs that flow across the voile in sweeping, rounded curves, creating a tattoo effect on the skin. The straps, in artistic printed satin braid end at the cup, are finished with a delicate furl of trimmings. This bra is another great bargain at a cheap $44.50 (down from $89!)!

The complete list of Aubade bargains can be found by clicking on the Aubade name in the left menu on the In The Mood Intimates website. Happy shopping!

Battle of the Bras #1: Elle Macpherson Int. vs Allumette

by

Alright! Every thursday we’ll be posting a Battle of the Bras episode here on The Lingerie Post. The idea behind it is as simple as it gets: we show you two bras from different brands in the same price range, and you pick your favorite… That’s it!

Sheer Ribbons underwired bra by Elle Macpherson IntimatesWe’re starting off this week with two very affordable underwired bras. The first one is the Sheer Ribbons underwired bra by Elle Macpherson Intimates. Fashioned in delicate sheer, striped tulle, this underwired bra has a rich embroidered lace trim around the top of the cups. With dainty straps and pretty ribbon details, it is highly feminine. At £28 it’s a very affordable bra seeing as it’s top quality…

Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra AllumetteNumber two is the beautiful Allumette Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra. The delicate colour combinations of the gauzy net fabric, combined with the rich embroidery and edge finishing at the band, capture a cute modern take on the essence of French style. It’s priced exactly the same as the Elle Macpherson Intimates bra, so this could get interesting 😉

Make your pick in the poll:

Thanks for voting. See you next week!

Bon´a Parte black & jade green underwired

by

Bon a Parte jade green black underwired bra with briefBon´a Parte is not a global brand, and you can see that straight away when you start browsing the web looking for any of there stuff… You’ll end up on Dutch, Swedish, Swiss or German websites, but you won’t find an official English site, or even shops in English that sell their collections…. Which is a pity! Bon´a Parte equals very cheap yet very high-quality scandinavian design underwear that will amaze you.

We’ve chosen this lovely Jade Green & Black underwired bra with adjustable straps and 3/4 cups to receive a little bit of extra attention. It’s cheap (€22,95 / $29.5) and sexy. In combination with the 2-color embroided briefs (€12,95 / $16.5) this bra doesn’t look like a budget-solution at all. The site we’re linking to for prices is in Dutch, but if you send the people over at Bon´a Parte an e-mail in English we’re sure they’ll be able to get back to you. We’ll try that out for ourselves too and keep you posted.

Happy shopping!

Allumette Lingerie: French Softness

by

Allumette LingerieAllumette is a french lingerie brand that, even though it’s official webpage is only in French, is selling more and more in the rest of the world. Because this brand is part of the Simone Pérèle group, it enjoys their distribution channels, which makes the brand available from boutiques all over the world and loads of online shops. That’s good news, considering the softness and delicasy in so many of their pieces… Fans of intimate lingerie in high-profile fabrics such as satin will love Allumette!

Allumette Lingerie Sevres underwire bra and briefThe Sevres collection is without doubt my favorite (even though their Venus line is extremely sexy too ;-)). I tested the Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra earlier this week and It (and I) looked very cute if I may say so myself. The high quality finishing is what you can expect from any decent brand, and the fabrics were obviously chosen to be as soft as possible. The matching thong wasn’t to my liking: the frilled sides mean you have to be quite skinny to make this thong work… I suggest going for the Allumette Sevres brief if you’re not a size 6 ;-).

The pictures speak for themselves. The Sevres line by Allumette is a fragile and feminine lingerie collection, that’s very fair in price. The bra is available at figleaves for $51, the brief is priced at $30.
