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.

Link to read in my bio 🔗 

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?

One more shout-out for this most excellent swimsui One more shout-out for this most excellent swimsuit. I think I was the only person at all the smaller beaches we went to in a one-piece, it's certainly not the Italian (or at least Sardinian) style 🤣

Back to reality after 8 days of non-stop beach ⛱ Back to reality after 8 days of non-stop beach ⛱ 

This is a 2016 'Vintage Glam' Gottex swimsuit I picked up on Vinted and then slightly customised to make the neckline more secure. Strikes me as a design not really meant to be worn for anything more than sunbathing - a few crystals came off (expected) and the silver piped trim started to peel away (not so much) almost as soon as it went in the water. So I'm glad I didn't pay full price... still like it though.

This holiday was SO needed. Felt good to be travelling again! What did you get up to this summer?

Remember this @keosme by @yesundress dress I revie Remember this @keosme by @yesundress dress I reviewed on the blog 5 years ago? Still one of my favourite pieces in my collection. I bought this navy satin skirt this summer and it's giving me ideas to make the dress a bit more 'outerwear friendly', so it actually sees the light of day more often. What do you think, where would you wear this to? I have a couple of gigs coming up later this year so maybe that.

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?
