Girdle

Dollhouse Bettie collaborates with Loretta Warner

December 27, 2008 by Rene

Dollhouse Bettie in San Francisco is offering some great sales. In particular, I’ve been fascinated with their collaboration with knitwear designer Loretta Warner. “Dollhouse Bettie has collaborated with her to bring you a unique perspective on the girdle! Designed to be worn either as outer wear or boudoir attire, these girdle skirts are each a one of a kind hand made creation, made from hand selected components, and incorporating vintage garters and trims. The drawstring version (in red) can accommodate waist sizes from 24 to 32, hip from 36 to 42. Find it 50% of for $156.25. The high waisted girdle fits size small or medium, waist to 28, hip to 40. It is also 50% off for $156.25.

Made by Niki Lingerie Spring/Summer 2009

December 18, 2008 by Mandolina

We’re still in the run-up to Christmas, but lingerie labels are already preparing for the launch of their Spring/Summer 2009 collections. Aaah the fashion industry, it’s always on the move! 🙂

One of those labels ready to start retailing their SS09 pieces is TLP favorite Made by Niki. The new styles still have that signature Made by Niki feel: very retro, very luxurious and made with visibly delicate fabrics. The collection has those great padded bras, excellent knickers… and the extremely beautiful Magic Bum Girdles with “hidden power panels to lift, flatten and flatter your curves”. Somewhat surprising are the great new colors which really does give this new collection a very summery feeling.

“We have listened to our customers to extend and improve our range”, says Niki. The Fresh Foundations luxury range introduces 3 new gorgeous, sparkling, fashion-led concoctions for Spring/Summer 2009. Electric Shock, Chilli Chocolate and Night-Shock each give a super-boost of zingy energy at this much needed time.

The designer adds: “Whether it’s for Every-Day, Valentines, Bridal, Special Occasions or Xmas, Made by Niki have something to fulfil your needs”, explains Niki, “and it’s easy to view and order on www.madebyniki.co.uk“.

Want to pre-order? TLP has obtained these private links to the product pages of all these pretty numbers that will be available from early January. The Suspender Belt, Girdle Magic Bum, Plunge Padded Bra, Satin Wireless Padded Bra, Satin & Lace Thong & the Satin & Lace Knickers. I NEED MONEY!

New Garter Belts and Girdles from Secrets In Lace

October 2, 2008 by Kelly

When we showed you Secrets In Lace’s new pink and red bullet bras, we promised that matching garter belts and open bottom girdles were on their way. Good news – they are now available! I’ve suggested Secrets In Lace garter belts several times in the forums because I love them so much; they really are the best I’ve ever tried because they do their job well and look great while doing it. That’s all you could ask for, right? These new garter belts are no exception, as they look stunning paired with the unique bullet bras. I particularly love the red – the vibrant color just jumps right out at you! In the US, autumn is coming and it’s time to bring my stockings out on a regular basis again. Of course that means that it’s time to get a few new garter belts. The hard part is going to be deciding which one of these to get!

The Coquette Waist Cincher has a high waist, front closure, and light shaping. The Coquette Open Bottom Girdle is 15 inches with a nylon lace front panel and circling bands for gentle shaping. The Jessica Garter Belt is a pull-on design made for comfort, and is only available in pink. Of course it’s never a good sight to have your backseams twisted around, so all of these have 6 straps for the superb security.

You can find all of these at the Secrets In Lace website (look under Shape Salon). Keep your eye on TLP, because in about a month we’ll be able to show you Secrets In Lace’s new holiday collection that will knock your socks (or stockings) off 😉

Sexy Shapewear by Kiss Me Deadly

October 24, 2007 by Kelly

Shapewear and waist cinchers shouldnâ€™t be synonymous with huge, ugly, industrial-strength contraptions. We should be able to create the silhouette we want, and still stay sexy while weâ€™re at it! Kiss Me Deadly agrees, and has recently come out with some gorgeous shapewear pieces. Even if your body is perfect and you have no need for the shaping benefits (lucky!), youâ€™ll probably still want to get your hands on these! The Alouette range includes a waist cincher (also known as a waspie) of black lace and suggestive nude tones. Garter clips allow you to attach your favorite stockings. As you can see in these pictures, there are other pieces in this line, so you can have a matching set with panties and a bra.

The Vargas collection is Kiss Me Deadlyâ€™s new range of vintage-inspired control wear. Itâ€™s small right now, and quantities are limited, but itâ€™s certainly a step in the right direction. The Vargas Girdle Dress gives you shape and waist definition with a double-layer midsection, as well as a structured lace bra. There is no boning in this dress, so you can just roll it on and clasp the bra.

The Vargas Roll-On Girdle gives shaping and control in your tummy and hips. These girdles give you modern stretch-fabric technology with classic vintage styles. They come in several feminine patterns and matching stockings are also available!

Visit the Kiss Me Deadly website for boutiques and online shops where you can shop for the brand. The Alouette waist cincher isnâ€™t available yet, but it will be available relatively soon (November) and it certainly looks worth the wait! You can also pre-order it from La Magia and get it as soon as it comes out!
