I love discovering the work of talented independent lingerie designers through recommendations from friends and so was very excited when, last month, I saw Tigz Rice mention Miss Vivienne on her Instagram stories. Not only are the designs stunning, with beautiful fabrics and details, but Vivienne Lynch also makes every piece to order in her... Continue Reading →

I have kept a close eye on the London College of Fashion BA (Hons) Fashion Contour graduates since 2014* and was lucky enough to be invited along to the catwalk event organised by this year's graduating class. On Thursday 12th July, I headed to east London for an evening of lingerie, loungewear and swimwear, featuring... Continue Reading →
Fans of exquisite lingerie will have seen it already, but I just couldn't resist posting about the stunning Aurora collection, which is a collaboration between luxury full-bust brand Harlow & Fox and award winning couture lingerie designer Karolina Laskowska.

Where other bloggers or lingerie obsessives will coo over every minute detail of a brand's latest collection, I have to admit to sadly becoming quite blasé. But all that changed when I opened an email from luxury fuller bust brand Harlow & Fox and my jaw... Continue Reading →

For this event, Dessous recruited Becky Mount (pictured below, with me and Zoë from Gilda & Pearl) to organise a bloggers lunch on the first day of... Continue Reading →
I love discovering independent lingerie brands, especially when they make beautiful bras that fit me! Launched in 2015, Adina Reay is a UK-based luxury full bust brand which offers delicate looking yet wonderfully supportive bras in UK sizes 28DD to 36G. As I now own a complete set of Adina Reay lingerie, I thought I'd... Continue Reading →

Buying lingerie online can be tricky, and Lara founders Faith and Cindy know that getting measured and trying on bras in person is the best way to get a perfect fit, so they invited fans of the...
