Many independent designers and smaller brands are happy to take on custom orders. A rare few however are also willing to work with other brands to create a set that will actually fit your body type. The beauty of such collaborations resides in the fact that not every brand specialises in the same aspect of lingerie.

One important thing to consider is what they do with the leftovers from that fabric.

It’s been quite a while since I last did a ‘lingerie/loungewear I love’ post, but I’ve not been able to stop thinking about this Apilat pyjama set since I first saw it. After focusing on robes and nightgowns for the longest time, this year the brand decided to branch out into pyjamas, and the designs did not disappoint.

This is mainly intended to be a list of gift suggestions and yes, I pick some items specifically for their festive twist.

Designed in South Wales, Emiah by Alycia specialises in bespoke bridal, corsetry, and boudoir lingerie. I reached out to the designer in January of 2022 to commission a piece for my bridal trousseau. This began a yearlong luxury experience full of decadent textures, fantastical delights, and quiet extravagance.

One thing I do not personally appreciate is constantly looking for ways to hide my bra straps and band. So, what if I told you that some designers have created bra bands and straps that are meant to be showcased as fashion statements within your outfits?

I’m slowly coming around to appreciating swimwear in its own right. It’s not just a water-appropriate bodysuit or bra set – it’s a whole other garment type, one that’s designed to be seen so why not have fun with it? Since it doesn’t have to fit sleekly under clothing, it’s the perfect opportunity to opt for big, 3D details.
