  • Lingerie Review: Pagan Poetry Midnight Spell Bralette & Thong

    by Estelle Puleston May 5, 2023
    by Estelle Puleston May 5, 2023

    Pagan Poetry’s aesthetic is, I think, different enough to be interesting. This is a gothically-inspired lingerie brand. However, it doesn’t feel costume-y, which means you can still appreciate these pieces even if you just like black lace underwear.

  • Tensengral: (Almost) Zero-Waste Bras in Supportive Braided Lace

    by Estelle Puleston June 23, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston June 23, 2022

    In an industry where brand after brand are claiming to ‘reinvent’ the bra simply by removing the underwires, it’s refreshing to come across a lingerie company actually doing something different. Tensengral has merged antique and modern technology to create a whole new type of lingerie fabric: “performance lace”.

  • Lingerie Review: Love & Swans Cupid Set

    by Estelle Puleston August 31, 2021
    by Estelle Puleston August 31, 2021

    As always, I am blown away by the level of detail in this Love & Swans lingerie set. What may from a distance appear to be a print is actually an embroidery, which gives it a wonderful depth of texture when seen up close. On top of all this is that other signature design element of this brand: lavish hand-beading.

    by Estelle Puleston December 30, 2020

    I wanted to highlight the bras I consistently reach for in the mornings, because what better endorsement for a garment or a brand than to say I actually wear it a ton? So here, in no particular order, are 10 bras whose combination of fit, comfort and practicality have made them become my everyday staples.

  • Lingerie Review: Stonemen Essentials Bralette & Cheeky Brief

    by Eliza Lahey November 25, 2020
    by Eliza Lahey November 25, 2020

    I first discovered Australian brand Stonemen several years ago whilst looking for comfortable, stylish men’s underwear as a gift for my partner. I was so impressed by the quality of the briefs that came for him that I knew I had to get my own pair of Stonemen one day.

  • Lingerie Review: LoveSuze NoHo Cotton Bralette Set

    by Estelle Puleston August 22, 2020
    by Estelle Puleston August 22, 2020

    LoveSuze is a newly-launched brand founded by Suzanne Macbale, who was previously Associate Vice President of Design at Victoria’s Secret. In case you’re wondering how similar this fledgling label is it to the lingerie giant: it’s not. There’s not a push-up bra in sight at LoveSuze.

    I’ve been following Primrose & Pixie for years now, ever since I first discovered this “lingerie and sleepwear for modern daydreamers”. The designer behind the brand, Sarah Richards, creates beautiful, unapologetically-girly lingerie inspired by nature, fairy tales, magic and Gothic styling.

  • Eco Lingerie Review: HARA Stella Bra & Eva G-String

    by Eliza Lahey April 9, 2020
    by Eliza Lahey April 9, 2020

    HARA — which means green in Hindi — is one of the most eco-conscious brands I’ve seen. They don’t just try to be sustainable; they’re willing to go above and beyond what other companies are doing to help the planet.

Slowly growing my @atelierbordelle collection. Thi Slowly growing my @atelierbordelle collection. This is the Bondage-Belle soft cup bra, an older version of the Signature soft cup bra, and the discontinued silk Adjustable Webbed Thong, both purchased in the recent sample sale. The main difference on the bra is that they upgraded the regular hook-and-eye seen here to large swan hooks, which feels much more 'Bordelle' because why miss any chance to add additional gold hardware? I still love it though.

It didn't even occur to me at the time of ordering, but they're a match for the Caramel-coloured Sub belt I purchased in the previous year's sale so that's a nice bonus as far as styling options go! 

Both lingerie pieces are a size S and work great for me as a 30DD/UK 6 (although the push-up bra I accidentally also ordered in an S very much did not).

Super happy with them - especially in this colour which will be great under lighter fabrics this summer, this is a set that feels highly practical and wearable, without being anything close to boring. My perfect everyday bra set 👌

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? 👍👎
