While I feel a twang of guilt to say it, I do appreciate a good knockoff whenever I can find one. It just means I have even more money left over to spend on more pretty little things! In the spirit of larger lingerie wardrobes for every woman, I wanted to give Elle Macpherson fans a heads-up on how to get the look of the Dentelle padded underwire bra ($60) on the cheap. This lacy, ribboned set has a counterpart in DKNY’s Belle Du Jour underwire balcony ($32). The resemblances are striking: both are balcony-styled for a push-up effect, both are lacey, and both have boning-inspired ribbons on the cups. They even have similar satiny straps! The biggest difference is available panty styles – but DKNY has actually one-upped Elle Macpherson this time by offering a matching garter belt. Each brand has very nice reviews on Figleaves.com. The only caveat? It looks like these savings are only for US ladies. Figleaves UK is actually selling them both for the same price!

Karen Millen Lingerie Autumn/Winter 2007
Karen Millen launched a brand new lingerie collection for October 2007, and it has now arrived at TLP-favorite Figleaves UK. The pretty, sexy and yet affordable collection combines the glamour of sculpted silk corsetry with the delicacy of French Chantilly lace and the minimal understatement of smooth touch essentials. The pictures I could find over at Figleaves are somewhat small, and seeing as Karen Millen doesn’t really have a serious PR-team, it’s very hard getting better quality images… Sorry!
I’m on the lookout though — and am also very interested in hearing opinions on these! Seeing as I haven’t had the chance to try these myself, ANY info is welcome!
In the mean time — enjoy the smaller Figleaves-images: they’re all we’ve got for now! 😉 Want to go shopping? Check Figleaves!
Rosapois Lingerie Autumn Winter 2007 new at L.D.
We’ve featured Liaison Dangereuse a few weeks ago (read all about them right here), and here they are again with 3 sexy new collection that were added to their lovely e-boutique: Autumn/Winter collections by Princesse Tam Tam, Rosapois and the beautiful AW collection by Mimi Holliday! You can check them all right here on the LD website, but seeing as the Rosapois label is new on The Lingerie Post, I’ve decided to pick photos from their range!
I actually adore the pieces — very feminine, but all in warm and romantic winter-colors: it works. Price tags of around €50 for a bra,€25 for thong/panties — not too expensive.
Enjoy the photo set — more Rosapois (and Liaison Dangereuse) to come soon — I promise!
