Peaches Geldof Models Miss Ultimo’s Holiday Styles

December 2, 2009 by Bruna

Peaches Geldof takes us on a fun ride with the new Miss Ultimo Christmas range, available in Debenhams stores and online at MissUltimo.com today! Inspired by vintage carnivals and candy shops, the sweet and feminine collection is modeled by the English socialite at an old-school fairground featuring a gorgeous vintage merry-go-round.

“Working for the second time with Miss Ultimo has been a pleasure,” said Geldof. “The underwear fits perfectly and creates curves in all the right places. I’m honored to be chosen to represent a healthy body image and what better way than with Miss Ultimo’s designs, which are sexy, young and quirky. Clothes are fun, but sometimes knowing you’ve got some awesome underwear underneath is better!”

Briefs and boy shorts come in sizes 8 to 18 with prices starting at £8 (approximately $13). Bras are sized from 32A to 38DD and cost £18 (about $30) each. Check out a selection of the styles below!

New Bras Offer Alternative to Plastic Surgery

November 25, 2009 by Bruna

So it seems large knockers are still all the rage. But instead of running out to that creepy plastic surgeon in Mexico that will give you 50 percent off the surgery, there are three new bras out on the market that could give you the illusion of larger breasts in a safe and fast manner.

One of the options is the new “Miraculous Push-up” by Victoria’s Secret. Not only does it instantly add two cup sizes to the breasts, VS also says the contrast will give the illusion of a smaller waist. The bra comes with convertible straps, so it can be worn under strapless, backless and halter dresses.

Pink Jubilee, Sizes AA-DD. (U.S. sizes) $45.

A second option is Ultimo’s new “Day-Night Bra,” which also claims to add two cup sizes in seconds. The bra comes with two insertable silicone pouches that can be removed during the day while you’re at work, and then put back in later if you’re headed out and want that extra volume.

Black plunge. Sizes 32A to 38D (UK sizes) £24. Available at Debenhams and Ultimo.co.uk.

I wish I had more information for you guys on this third option, but I couldn’t find out who this bra’s maker is. I do, however, have a video illustrating exactly what this inflatable bra does and how you can increase your cup size into a B, C or D by the mere push of a button. According to some people on the Internet who speak a bit of Mandarin, the bra is called “She’s Mine” and it uses an advanced Japanese-developed technology, which they call “God’s hand,” to function.

Lepel Lingerie Spring/Summer 2009

February 24, 2009 by Kelly

We’ve mentioned Lepel on The Lingerie Post before, but never in much detail and we haven’t really shown you many pictures. The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is a great time to amp up our coverage, with the perfectly spring-appropriate range full of fresh colors, airy and blossoming designs, delicate embroidery, and everyday casual styles. This new collection looks perfect to wear as everyday underwear – it’s not so fancy that you wouldn’t want to wear it during the day, but it’s still pretty enough that you’ll want someone to see you in it when you get home! With bras in sizes up to a G cup and panties up to size 18, almost everyone will be able to find something to fit and flatter. Here are some of my favorites:

First up, the Dusk style features oversized florals in lilac and midnight blue. The satin plunge bra makes a set with boyshorts or a thong.

Secret Garden is light and airy with delicate lace and ruffles adorned with an embellished floral design.

The fresh Sasha set includes a padded bra and boyshorts or a string in soft neutrals and energizing coral.

Firm favorite Athena is stylish and sweet with polka dots and soft scallops.

There are plenty of other new designs, so keep your eye on Figleaves UK, Debenhams, Bravissimo, House of Fraser, and Fenwicks, as well as your local boutique, to find your own favorite styles for spring!

Floozie by Frost French Exclusively at Debenhams

September 17, 2008 by Brenda

I might be a tad late in bringing attention to this delicate and flirtatious collection since I see the pieces are already on sale probably getting ready for the newer fall items, but it is so lovely, that I wanted you to see it as well. Created by actress Sadie Frost and fashion designer Jemima French for Debenhams, the Floozie line is bright, frilly and luxurious.

Having started in 1999 creating fancy knickers, the girls may have graduated to other fashions over the years, but there is no doubt that their lingerie is equally as appealing today as almost ten years ago. Plenty of lace, ribbons and bows, this line is truly sexy, flirty and girlish. I love how the outside of the panties are printed one design while the inside lining is fun polka dots. The pink camisole with black polka dots is wonderful with its subtle black ribbon around the neckline and around the frill layered hem.

Thongs, hipsters, ruffle shorts, padded bras and camisoles are offered in sizes six through eighteen. While this is considered a summer collection, it is sweet enough to wear anytime of the year.

Lara Croft saves Debenhams?

June 2, 2008 by Rene

Britain’s number two department store Debenhams, seems to be recovering from their slip in revenue reported late last year. The Sun business section is reporting that John Lovering will stand down as chairman and be replaced by Rob Templeman. “It follows a strong period of trading which has seen Debenhams win back share of the clothing market. The upturn came after a revamp of its ranges with new designs by big names including Jasper Conran, Julien Macdonald and John Rocha. The firm also used model Nell McAndrew to promote its Adore Moi lingerie range.”.

The British press will never miss an opportunity to throw a little skin at any article, but could the choice of Nell McAndrew have really helped turn around the profits at this venerable institution? Nell McAndrew was the original Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame posing for the game character and becoming the character in real life for different releases of the game. She was of course replaced by Angelina Jolie for the movie.

Find the range here at the Debenhams online store. It ranges from £8.00 to £26.00 and sizes of 32A to 38DD. Ms. McAndrew’s site states she is a 32D. To find out more about Nell McAndrew, visit her site or the Wikipedia article.
