Kirsty McAspurn

I'm the owner of Curvature Boutique in Leigh, UK. With two children, and an age much higher than most bloggers, I am a great believer that every woman should be able to wear comfortable, well fitting, matching, affordable lingerie. When I’m not running my lingerie and corset shop or running around after my boys, I do pole fitness (well, I fall off a lot and giggle far too much) and enjoy reading or watching a movie with my hubby.

One last photo from my @phara_dor feature (link in One last photo from my @phara_dor feature (link in my bio) and I saved the best for last - this Juliette bralette set is definitely my favourite, I can't resist pretty red lingerie! 💕

Made from Swiss embroidery with crystal charms from Austria, gold-plated hardware from France and satin from Italy - fully European-made, from materials to finished garment 🪡

Check out the article for the matching Juliette bodysuit, balconette bra, suspender belt and thigh garters.

The @phara_dor robe from my recent post/blog artic The @phara_dor robe from my recent post/blog article, styled how I would wear it for a nice dinner. If you want to dip your toes in the lingerie-as-outerwear trend, short robes feel like one of the easiest ways to do it - any outfit that would look good with a nice jacket or oversized cardigan will look just as good, but dressier, with a satin robe in its place. And I love how the embroidered sleeve cuffs here really finish the look!

What's your favourite lingerie type to style as outerwear?

P.S. The camisole is also from a lingerie brand, satin nightwear really is so versatile 😉

New review! I am SUPER late to publishing this one New review! I am SUPER late to publishing this one (it's actually my 2024 sample sale purchase) but well, I'd started the article so I thought I'd finish it, even if only as a general review of the brand's fit, comfort etc. Though the set is still available through various stockists, and the bra direct from Bordelle if you're in the EU.

Is this my favourite ever lingerie brand? I really think it might be... 🤔

My newest lingerie set 🖤 It's been almost 16 y My newest lingerie set 🖤

It's been almost 16 years since I launched my website. Over 8 since I quit my job and became self-employed so that I could spend my Mon-Fri writing about lingerie. I don't know if I'll get to stay in this industry forever, but I think by now I can safely say it IS something I'll love forever. So, I couldn't think of a more 'me' tattoo than this one! Done by @sylvizarte in Madrid.

It's loosely based on a (very old) sentimental piece from my collection - do you recognise it?
