  • Lingerie & Hosiery Fabrics Under the Microscope

    by Estelle Puleston May 4, 2025
    by Estelle Puleston May 4, 2025

    My son received a microscope this Christmas just gone and while playing around with it, we popped a sleeve cuff under the lens and well, that got me to thinking about doing a deep dive on lingerie fabrics. You can read about how jacquard is woven or how smooth nylon is, but actually seeing it? I found it fascinating.

  • 14 Lingerie Brands That Offer a Repairs Service (+ Alternatives)

    by Estelle Puleston January 28, 2024
    by Estelle Puleston January 28, 2024

    What is a sign that a clothing brand is really, truly committed to sustainability? One answer I keep coming back to is providing a repairs service on its products. This is not to say that brands have to offer repairs to be sustainable. Very, very few lingerie brands currently offer this, even among the ‘eco friendly’ ones.

  • 6 Reasons Not to Limit Yourself to a Single Lingerie Style

    by Estelle Puleston November 11, 2023
    by Estelle Puleston November 11, 2023

    Knowing what you like is great. But really boxing yourself into a single aesthetic/style is not, especially if you’re just buying that underwear design over and over because it’s the same one you’ve always shopped for, without investigating the other options out there and whether they might work for you too.

  • Why a Good Bra Fit Matters

    by Estelle Puleston February 17, 2023
    by Estelle Puleston February 17, 2023

    Uncomfortable underwires, cups that gape/wrinkle or dig in, constantly having to pull the straps back up onto your shoulders… all of these are signs that you may need a different bra size. Breasts change size and shape as we go through life, so if you’re still just buying the same size you’ve worn for years and years, it may no longer be the best one for you.

  • Why I Hardly Bought Any Lingerie in 2022

    by Estelle Puleston December 17, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston December 17, 2022

    I’ve previously written about how I’ve been trying to live more sustainably since 2019, and as time goes on I’m finding that the less I buy, the less I feel the need to buy. I also know I have way more lingerie already than is actually necessary for one person to own.

  • Here’s Why You’ll Love Polish Bras if You’re Full Busted

    by Estelle Puleston October 27, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston October 27, 2022

    If France is the lingerie capital of the world, then Poland is the full-bust lingerie captial of the world. Seriously, if you wear above a D cup size (especially if you’re well beyond that letter) and you don’t know about Polish bras yet, you’re missing out.

  • Common Misconceptions About Lace, and Lace Lingerie

    by Wencillia Querbel September 24, 2022
    by Wencillia Querbel September 24, 2022

    There are many misconceptions about the fabrics and materials used in the making of lingerie. One is that lace is itchy and meant only for the bedroom. Another is the confusion between embroidery and lace. Let’s clarify some of these concepts.

  • The Best Lingerie Fabrics & Fibres to Survive a Heat Wave

    by Wencillia Querbel August 25, 2022
    by Wencillia Querbel August 25, 2022

    It is now possible to find relatively breathable-feeling synthetic fabrics. These are frequently more hydrophobic than actually breathable, but they can sometimes be comfortable and suitable for the hot weather. However, I’d argue that natural fibres are often the best initiative.

Been working on something new for the blog: a deep Been working on something new for the blog: a deep dive into lingerie fabrics, literally! I photographed over 20 pieces from my collection under a microscope so you can learn exactly:
- how jacquard fabrics get their pattern
- why silk satin is shiny but silk georgette isn't
- how cotton jersey's texture compares to polyester jersey
- and much more!

Pictured here: embroidered illusion tulle, silk chiffon, a ribbed synthetic blend, metallic lace, nylon stockings, and jacquard fabric. Lots more in the blog post - I'll link it in my story 🔗

Which of these close-ups most surprised you?

Not exaggerating when I say that these @marjolaine Not exaggerating when I say that these @marjolaine_lingerie silk trousers might well be the comfiest thing I've ever put on my body 👌

I'd had my eye on them for probably a year but they were kinda expensive - recently spotted they were both 30% off and down to the last pair in my size, so it was now or never. I'm glad I got them, I can already tell these are going to feel so lovely and cool in the summer heat!

The other @lovebravissimo bra that I reviewed is D The other @lovebravissimo bra that I reviewed is Dana, a front-close style (and I think only the second front close I currently own along with my super-old Bordelle Thorn?). It didn't work for me fit-wise, but I think that back would look cute styled under a light blue silk camisole in summer!

Also pictured: the Niya and Niya Lace bras, which actually have more differences than just the addition of lace. The full review is on the blog for all the details.

Which of these three bras is your favourite?

This Niya bra by @lovebravissimo is my new everyda This Niya bra by @lovebravissimo is my new everyday favourite one! It's a great moulded style for shallower bust shapes. The full review is up on the blog if you want to read more - link in my bio.

Would you believe I massively stained this right on the front of one of the cups by putting it, an apparently-not-very-colourfast black bra, and a damp facecloth next to each other in my suitcase on the way back from a trip? Four rounds of dye run remover later, you can barely tell. Lesson learned about putting wet things in a suitcase 😅🧳

A new installment in my #lingeriemixnmatch series A new installment in my #lingeriemixnmatch series (the first new one since 2023 😅). It's so very rare that I buy a bra or brief without a matching coordinate, but back in 2016 I was mesmerised enough by Agent Provocateur's Bubbles brief to buy it alone - on sale, so I guess maybe the bra was sold out already in my size? 

I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. Low-quality net and a gusset that doesn't come up anywhere near high enough to make it properly wearable (it's SO uncomfy). But I did still adore the design regardless so I kept it and just... never wore it.

Recently rediscovered it and had the idea to layer it. Turns out it's quite tricky to layer reds - my red lingerie is a real mix of hues, from orangey reds to bluish ones. This old Bras Without Wires set is a pretty close match though! Solves the (lack of) gusset issue, and the Bubbles brief adds visual interest to a cute but fairly basic bra set. 

How would you rate this pairing? 👍👎
