Wonderbra D-G Update

July 26, 2008 by Kelly

This is just a quick note to let you know that the Ornamental range of Wonderbra D-G is now available at Figleaves UK! A while ago we saw that Figleaves had the Everyday T-shirt and the Everyday Strapless bras. Now the black and pink set of the Ornamental range is in stock, as well as new colors of the Everyday T-shirt bra and matching knickers. If you want something, you’d better get it fast – this collection is selling rapidly.

You can also find a balconette version of the Ornamental bras on Brastop and eBay that cannot be found on the Wonderbra website or any other online retailers, so it seems that Wonderbra produced the balconnette bras and decided at the last minute not to sell them through mass retailers. If you want to get your hands on it, I’d suggest buying them now, because this suggests the balconnette style won’t be made again!

Brazilian Bikinis – a little roundup

July 9, 2007 by Macella

I’m not one to pass judgment on all those Wicked Weasel fans but for me they are just too much (or too less.. 🙂 ) I just haven’t got the figure of a super model to wear one of those and I certainly haven’t got the guts. Fortunately for us there are a lot of brands who cater for those like me. For this small post I’ve selected a few Brazilian brands because that country tends to have the more risque type of swimwear we in Europe don’t have that much. Examples of these are Popobrasil, Berrydog and Fashion Bikini.

Popobrasil is quite cheap and has a lot to offer for both Wicked Weasel fans with C-through bikini’s as well as printed pieces with lining for us non-seethrough fans. You can buy a lot of their bikini’s on Ebay quite easily.

Berrydog caught my fancy with this 60’s inspired bikini. Check their site for more examples.

And finally Fashion Bikini. Although not quite my taste there were a few items which i liked: this bikini and swimsuit. You can buy them quite cheap here in their webshop.

If you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to mention them in our forum.

Kelly’s Ebay Lingerie Adventures

December 12, 2006 by Mandolina

I don’t want to sound like a b***h but I’m having great fun reading Kelly’s Ebay Lingerie Adventures over at Hyacinths and Biscuits. I don’t have much time at this point but I just wanted to give you the link to her post.

“I came back to my apartment about an hour or two ago. There was a package by my apartment door. At first I was excited! I knew it was the multiway Marks and Spencer bra I ordered off of Ebay! Yay! It finally came! But then I was immediately confused – why was it in front of my apartment door? If a package is too big for the mailbox, the mailman almost never just leaves it. He leaves a little note that says to come pick it up at the post office. Also, the mailman can’t get past the mailroom to put it in front of my apartment door, anyway.

So I was confused but ultimately decided not to care, and I came into my apartment and sat down. I went to open the box with my Ebay bra inside. But then I saw that someone had already opened it! There was packing tape all around which someone cut, and opened up the box, (and I guess decided they didn’t want it?), and then they sat it in front of my door.

I’m so angry and creeped out by this whole situation. I knew I had thieves in my building, but seriously. I don’t even get what’s going on here. At least they were nice enough thieves to give it back to me since they didn’t want it.”

Read the full story here, she actually talks about the bra too (another dissapointment, though). Enjoy her blog!

Buying lingerie on Ebay

November 29, 2006 by Mandolina

I have to be honest, I’m a skeptic when it comes to buying lingerie in online auctions. Some of my friends have tried to convince me to give it a go, but I’ve always been somewhat scared to get my hopes up about an item and receiving a fake non-piece that would leave me behind sitting in a corner feeling stupid about myself, wishing I had just shopped at an online shop or in one of my regular boutiques… I may be one of the lucky ones that can spend a decent budget on lingerie, but still, bargains are bargains, so I was enchanted by Kelly’s post on her blog Hyacinths and Biscuits where she talks about a positive surprise she had when buying a bra off Ebay:

“In the picture it looks like just some kind of plain fun pink bra with a black ribbon or two. But it is so much more amazing. In real life, there are pinstripes on the little bugger, and where it looks like there’s a black stripe on the band? That’s laced-up ribboning! Normally if I recieved an item from Ebay that was not as described, I would be pissed. But this was just an amazing surprise. Yay Ebay!”

That sounds good, no? Well, I might consider trying an Ebay bargain myself, even though there is some bad news from Kelly’s front. The bra isn’t half as comfortable as she had hoped… That’s another Ebay-con: there’s no returns possible. Oh the doubt!
