I haven't written about latex much since my 2012 post in the fabulous fashion fabrics series, so I was surprised when the lovely folk at Honour got in touch to ask if I'd like to review a lingerie set from their website. However, once I started browsing, I quickly realised this wouldn't be quite as... Continue Reading →
If you're on Instagram and are at all interested in underwear, you may have seen Heist's campaign for their soon to be launched new range. Best known for their tights that don't roll down or dig in, Heist are now expanding their offering to include what they call 'bodywear', and they're doing a good job... Continue Reading →
I used to laugh at the idea of underwear being viewed as a 'solution', because I thought lingerie should be much more fun than that, but then I started developing a liking for clothing that couldn't really be worn with the current contents of my underwear drawer. Necklines too wide for bra straps, low backs,... Continue Reading →
Lingerie lovers may have noticed that those hard-working folk at Playful Promises have been even more productive than usual over the last year. Seeing as they're always busy, this is pretty impressive work! As well as coming up with designs for their main line and curve ranges, plus their mini-brand Peek & Beau, they also...

Another month, another excuse to go rummaging around online and in shops to find some gorgeous undies to share with you all. I've called this feature my Lingerie Lust List because I adore alliteration, but that doesn't mean I'm only going to share feminine styles from the womenswear department. It's all about whatever catches my... Continue Reading →
After I wrote about Joanna's Wardrobe last week, they emailed to offer me an item from their own range to review - the super cute Cherry roll-on girdle that I'd already added to my Joanna's Wardrobe wishlist! For those of you unfamiliar with vintage lingerie terminology, a 'roll-on' girdle is basically a very deep suspender... Continue Reading →
I only properly discovered Joanna's Wardrobe last month when I opened the Kiss Me Deadly newsletter and saw a photograph of a rather gorgeous teddy. The claret stretch satin of this limited edition version of the Cherie teddy (see photo on the right) was exclusive to online lingerie retailer Joanna's Wardrobe, so I clicked on...

I fell in love with the Gossard 'Retrolution' range as soon as I saw the photos accompanying Retro Chick's review earlier this year. My lingerie holy grail is something with a lot of coverage for my bottom (and good wide suspender straps where required), but with a more modern plunge style bra. Much as I... Continue Reading →
I know that many women swear by their Spanx, but I'm really not keen on undergarments that make me look like I've been squeezed into a sausage skin. I like my lingerie to look good before and after I put my clothes on, as well as while I'm fully clothed. Shapewear got so dull once... Continue Reading →
Back in 2009, I found a (sadly now closed) online store called Pixxi, which sold vintage lingerie. As well as selling online, the owner took appointments to visit her in Brighton and try on the garments before buying. I couldn't resist. After an enjoyable rummage through her wares, I purchased two pairs of vintage gloves... Continue Reading →
