Little Woods Direct

We haven’t mentioned Pour Moi? much since Mandolina introduced the brand in 2006, the year it was launched. This feminine and affordable brand has been flying under the radar, but we have just received word about two of the newest ranges from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection!

First, the Elegance range is a bridal collection with a creative and romantic color scheme. The ivory Italian satin is covered with large yet intricate gold rose embroidery. The range includes a strapless bra, basque, and waspie in a large size range, from 32A-38E. The briefs come in sizes 8-18.

The vintage-inspired Victoriana range also features floral embroidery, designed to become a favorite in the soft pink and chocolate colors. The range includes several bras, a basque, three different briefs, and a suspender. The bras come in sizes 30A-40G, and the briefs are offered in sizes up to 20.

You can find Pour Moi at Figleaves (US/UK), Asos, Simply Yours, and Littlewoods Direct.
