What is a blogger to do when a favourite lingerie brand releases a stunning new collection that doesn't come in her size? She enlists the help of a guest reviewer, or course!

Lingerie Lookbook: Playful Promises Fuller Bust SS18
Back in 2014, I reviewed a bra from London-based lingerie brand Playful Promises which was their first to go up to a UK F cup. A year later, when they released more E and F cup styles, I blogged about the process the brand underwent to develop these styles and ensure a good fit. In... Continue Reading →

Knickers to the fashion industry’s narrow ideas of beauty!
Playful Promises are on fire right now and I just can't keep up with the number of amazing collections and campaigns they're launching, much to the excitement of their ever growing customer base. Having ventured out of core sizing into full bust in 2014, they embraced plus size and released a Curve collection last year,... Continue Reading →
Ageless Fashion by Playful Promises
As a woman in her early 40s with a love of gorgeous underwear, I'm used to having to do a spot of brain gymnastics in order to imagine myself wearing a lot of the lingerie that catches my eye, because it's almost always shown on the firm bodies of young slender models. When I saw... Continue Reading →

Review: ‘Anna’ by Peek & Beau
Ever since Playful Promises launched their more alternative styled mini-brand Peek & Beau in 2015, I have been drooling over the pieces and wishing there was something I could wear. As it's a small collection the size range is limited, and sizing is not something you can 'fudge' with bras. Then they released a new... Continue Reading →
Lumps, bumps and Agent Provocateur
As someone who has squishy bits, I can't help but look at the models when I'm looking at photographs of clothing. When they are roughly the same shape as you, there's no real need to look at anything other the garments, as the way it fits them is probably going to be the way it... Continue Reading →
Playful Promises’ new Curve range
Following the success of their fuller bust collection, and after requests for bigger back sizes, London-based lingerie brand Playful Promises have launched their first Curve range. With lashings of typically flirty Playful Promises style, the collection includes bra sizes from 38 B-G and 40-42 C-G, and a larger range of briefs UK sizes 18-24. While... Continue Reading →
Lust List: February
Much as I hate the over-commercialisation of 14th February and the pervasive view of lingerie as something that is inherently erotic, I still couldn't resist running this month's Lust List as a Valentine's special. To me, sexy underwear is whatever you feel confident in - that might be M&S black cotton full briefs and a... Continue Reading →
