Bordelle Lingerie Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

by

Staying true to its signature style — aka classy fetish lingerie achieved through the use of perfectly webbed satin straps — Bordelle’s spring/summer 2010 collection features plenty of body-con and sensual silhouettes.  Pieces include chemises, triangle bras, high waist panties, garters, thongs and more in mainly black, pink and cream. Almost all of the looks incorporate cut-outs in the design, which gives each piece a super sexy vibe.

Check out a selection of the looks below!

Sophistikitten Knickers

by

Sophistikitten is a little online shop that specializes in gorgeous knickers from the classic designs of the 1940s and 1950s. All items are hand made to order and generally four weeks time is required to fill an order. Custom size orders are not accepted but the company does accept custom orders on fabric or colour if either can be easily sourced.

Presently Sophistikitten offers three styles of knickers including French Knickers, Silk French Knickers, and the Tie Side Silk Knickers. All three designs are luxurious bringing the wearer back to an era of elegance, romance and class. They are offered in sizes 26 through 38 and international shipping is accepted.

The French knickers are made of georgette, a delicate, translucent fabric, with six panels for best fit, side openings with shell buttons and a wide waistband that should match with one’s natural waistline. A 1940s style knicker, they are offered in both peach and eau-de-nil.

The silk French knickers are the same design as the basic knickers but instead of georgette, they are made with pure silk satin in dusky pink, black, red, rich chocolate and deep emerald green.

Lastly, the Tie Side Silk knickers are again very similar in design but use a side tie instead buttons as closures. The large sash type bow is integrated into the waistband allowing the knickers to look elegant and preventing the sash from being lost. Made from pure silk satin, the colors are dusky pink, black, red, rich chocolate and deep emerald green.

For any woman craving to wear luxurious, authentic 1940s knickers, it is probably worth the wait to have one of these masterpieces specially sewn.

Mimi Holliday Spring/Summer ’08

by

Mimi Holliday is an exciting brand lately. They’ve just debuted a new swimwear line, and the Spring/Summer lingerie collection is filled with creamy laces, splashes of electric color, and interesting knickers. I have a piece from the new collection myself and I am in love with it! Comprised mainly of balcony bras, with some coordinating plunge bras also included, the new collection also features more voluminous knickers.

This summer, our readers who are more modest can indulge in chiffon and lace “big knickers” that completely cover their assets. While there are plenty of trailing bows, g-strings, and barely-there panties, there is a distinct lack of the trademark “butt cleavage” this season. If that’s your favorite way to show off all that work you’ve put in at the gym, you’ll have to spring for the more expensive Damaris styles. I am especially excited about the Coral Lace and Electric Moss Satin & Peach Lace sets; they are so vibrant and perfect for a bright summer day!

Flora Lastraioli’s Exquisite Embroidery

by

Long-flowing, luxurious lingerie with plenty of frills, lace adornments and fancy trimmings are my favourite pieces of lounge or nightwear. I used to love to watch the old soap operas keeping abreast not of the plot but, what the ladies were wearing, specifically the gorgeous peignoirs, dressing gowns and elaborate long gown and coat sets. The stars of the shows looked regal, sexy and like they did not have a care in the world. I wanted to be like that.

Flora Lastraioli LogoFlora Lastraioli lingerie reminds me of the nightdresses those ladies wore. Exquisitely made gowns displaying fastidiously embroidered masterpieces on expensive silks. How could anyone not look beautiful? The various collections use a combination of several of the best fabrics in the world. Silk, satin, jersey, cotton and georgette in whites, creams, canary yellows, vibrant greens with black trims, deep hues of orange, crimson and blue, and delicate pink, blue and green pastels.

Each piece is finely crafted. Robes with sleeves of embroidered flowers and petals, bodices with white intricate inlays in beautiful pink silk and thick embroidery down the front of the garments with little bows or buttons to close the garment. The individual ensembles come in a vast selection of dressing gowns and coats, tops and bottoms, camisoles, panties and jackets.

The 2008/2009 Autumn/Winter season of Matteo Pecchioli was seen in February 2008 at the Igedo Fashion Fairs Dusseldorf in Germany. Some of the gowns were so ornate, I really could not determine whether they were evening gowns or dressing gowns. This is how magnificent these pieces are.

When reading the family’s ancestry, it is no wonder the collections are queen-like. Although Flora Lastraioli Lingerie was not founded officially until 1932, the roots of the embroidery go back to the early 1800’s when the great-grandmother was named the official embroideress at the court of Leopoldo II, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Unquestionably, if real craftsmanship and art are important, Flora Lastraioli lingerie is truly the best money can buy.
