Enamore Lingerie for Fall/Winter 2009-2010

Enamore is delighted to announce that this winter, they’ll be launching their first line of underwired bras! Enamore is known for producing their fashion from the finest organic and sustainable fabrics including hemp, cotton, Soya and silk sourced from accredited suppliers. The label has an extensive history in lingerie, but is only now really “completing” their range of underwear with underwired bras.

This development has been a long time in the making at Enamore and Managing Director Jennifer Ambrose is very proud of the results. The first 2 styles available will be Lady Coco (black with ivory trims, top of the image on the right!) and Bedrock (leopard print with black trim, third line of the image) both made from a soft bamboo jersey. The bras are all beautifully cut and sewn in Wales.

Enamore is starting this line in B, C & D cup sizes and 32, 34 & 36 back sizes, however they told us they do hope to expand the range to cater for larger sizes in 2010.

The full range will be available to view/pre-order on the Enamore website from September – or check out the photo attached to this post.

Marie Jo Intense – Move in Style

September 26, 2008 by Mandolina

Belgian Luxury Lingerie label Marie Jo has just released a new line of its Marie Jo Intense line — a sports bra collection trying to not just support your breasts, but also keep your feminine silhouette while doing whatever sports you enjoy.

I’ve tried these Intense bras myself and I’m a fan. The underwires Marie Jo uses for this line (yes, underwired sports bras!) are so well-placed that you have no clue they’re even there. The wires do keep to help your figure look great under any kind of tight sports garments though, while providing excellent support.

More on mariejo-intense.com — As always shopping for Marie Jo around the globe can prove to be a little difficult, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find online shops shipping worldwide! 🙂

Warner’s Elements of Bliss

July 4, 2008 by Mandolina

Extra long summer days have you reaching for a more comfy bra? Perhaps one as comfortable as your favorite summer tank top, the one that can take you from the office to rooftop cocktails with just a change of lipstick and shoes? Warner’s, the pioneering and innovating American lingerie brand (they launched the first modern bra in 1904), just created the Elements of BlissWire bra.

The new bras, launching at stores on July 15, have a new underwire encased in three layers of fabric for increased softness – which means you get true comfort and support with fit and flexibility! At retail prices of just over $30 for the bra you’re also getting great fit-for-money which is obviously quite important for daily wear-lingerie.

For those looking to shop – get a free Warner’s Elements of Bliss panty with the purchase of any Elements of Bliss bra! Just walk into a participating JCPenney store and start shopping. Get there fast – offer ends September 1, 2008 or while supplies last. Limited to one free panty per transaction. Visit jcpenney.com for participating stores.

Pfiff Spring/Summer 2008

April 29, 2008 by Krista

I’ve already mentioned my love affair with the new Pfiff Age of Innocence eco-friendly group. I recently had the chance to visit the Pfiff showroom and see not only that group, but the rest of the Spring/Summer Collection (Autumn/Winter too, but more about that later!). As expected, the collection does not disappoint by matching exquisite design and detail with elegant (yet, supportive and comfortable) fabrics.

Breadth of Serenity is just that indeed! A clean, white double layered mesh is topped with a vibrant, royal purple scrolling embroidery, which immediately transported me to the Mediterranean in my mind! The group has something to offer everyone. The lightly lined balconette bra accomodates cups A-D, while the lightly padded full coverage bra fits C-F cups. Both feature the delicate, scalloped straps as well as the coordinating organza bow with a crystal tear drop charm.

Bottoms include a g-string hipster, bikini brief, and boyshort. All of which include the organza bow detailing in addition to their own unique elements including additional embroidery, pleating, and a key hole. In true Pfiff style, you’ll not only look fabulous from the front, but from the back as well! The group is complete with both a camisole and chemise. Mix and match to create new, opulent looks every night of the week.

For the ultimate in sophistication, Dramatic Entrances pairs a soft, tactel microfiber with Leavers lace and mesh. The palest green is accented with an inky black in a group reflecting the Art Deco style. Again, amazing detailing is featured throughout and sizes A-F are provided options through the fashionable demi padded push up bra and lightly lined full coverage bra.

The tanga features a unique, lined mesh cut out detail in the back as well as a double banded side while the wide-side thong features detachable garters! For more coverage, choose the hipster. Additional options include a lightly padded underwire bustier and a chemise with an adjustable tie back. This group is so fantastic and detailed, it could have been called Dramatic Exits as well!

Of course, the Pfiff year-round, continuous collections (including Lavish Bouquet and Moments of Seduction) are always available in stores.

To purchase the new collection, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks, but the continuous collections and Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 are currently available in department stores (including Macy’s West) and boutiques. Online, shop at Star Boudoir.

More to come on the Autumn/Winter collection!
