    by Wencillia Querbel November 25, 2024
    by Wencillia Querbel November 25, 2024

    Despite the recent transition from breezy dresses to cosy sweaters, this festive time also calls for strapless solutions and glamorous gowns… and when looking for a beautiful gown for an event, I often turn to my favourite lingerie brands for inspiration.

  • Lingerie as Outerwear: Accessories for Spring & Summer Outfits

    by Wencillia Querbel May 28, 2022
    by Wencillia Querbel May 28, 2022

    When it comes to accessorising with and styling lingerie as outerwear, I often hear people say that they aren’t comfortable getting creative. But as much as we love a daring outfit, there are also subtler ways to integrate lingerie into outfits on a regular basis.

  • Love Lingerie? Then You’ll LOVE This Belt & Bag

    by Estelle Puleston May 23, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston May 23, 2022

    Murmur works lingerie-inspired details into their designs in numerous ways, but by far my favourite is their use of shiny suspender grips as decorations. It’s a design feature I love whenever I see a brand using it, but Murmur really goes all out.

  • How to Wear Lingerie as Outerwear for Different Occasions

    by Estelle Puleston February 23, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston February 23, 2022

    The more unique or ultra-pretty pieces I add to my lingerie collection, the more I find myself trying to ‘sneak’ some of them into my outerwear. A strappy bra peeking out from under a top there, a slip worn as a summer dress there – there’s usually a way to slip a little lingerie in if you want to.

  • Lingerie Review: Beba Becca Bodysuit

    by Estelle Puleston September 26, 2021
    by Estelle Puleston September 26, 2021

    Earlier this year, I wrote about Beba Lingerie, a Serbian brand that I had at the time just discovered – and it was love at first sight. It was giving me strong Honey Birdette vibes, with maybe a little Bordelle thrown in too, and the prices seemed pretty great for the designs on offer. I simply could not get the brand’s Becca bodysuit out of my head.

  • 19 Silk Slips You Can Wear as Loungewear or Dresses

    by Eliza Lahey September 11, 2020
    by Eliza Lahey September 11, 2020

    This year I’m seeing a trend of silk slips that double as both loungewear and dresses you can wear out and about. So many slips this season are designed in gorgeous opaque colours and fun prints that they’re pratically begging to be shown off in public.

    The more I invest in adding beautiful and unusual pieces to my lingerie collection, the more I find myself trying to think up outfit ideas that will show them off to the world. After all, if you can wear something as both underwear and outerwear, that makes it doubly good value for money, right?

    I may only own a handful, but bodysuits are one of my favourite lingerie styles – if you can get the fit right, they’re an incredibly versatile type of garment. In fact, they’re often the first thing mentioned when discussing ideas to wear lingerie as outerwear.

  • Lingerie Review: Keòsme Augusta ‘Bondage Dress’

    You may recall Keòsme from my earlier review of their Bersèra swimsuit, or my review of the Hermiona bra set by their sister brand loveJilty. Both Keòsme and loveJilty are produced by yesUndress, a Ukrainian retailer with an ever-growing number of brands under its umbrella.

  • Luxury Lingerie Designer Interview: Dorshelle Guillaume

    by Estelle Puleston March 25, 2020
    by Estelle Puleston March 25, 2020

    The second I stumbled across Dorshelle Guillaume, I fell in love. The designs are simply breathtaking, every single one of them an ornate and unique showstopper. There’s a level of decadence and attention to detail here that is rare even amongst luxury lingerie brands, from lusciously-embellished fabrics to beaded fringing.

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? 👍👎
