I'm always on the lookout for new lingerie brands and there have been quite a few popping up in my Instagram adverts lately. One of those is Closely, whose dedication to freedom of movement and sustainability caught my eye. Also, they were looking for women to sign up to test their products ahead of the...

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! Full disclosure though... Rarely Wears Lipstick paid for the lingerie set reviewed below. There are few brands from whom I will always open... Continue Reading →

Conceived in 2016 by two final year students studying BA (Hons) Fashion Contour at London College of Fashion, Lara is a brand committed to creating stylish comfortable underwear sustainably.

I recently brought a bra from the M&S website and, unsure of what size to go for, decided to try their bra size calculator. Armed with my three best fitting bras and a tape measure, I filled in the form once for each bra and two out of three times it came back with 34DD.... Continue Reading →

Up until then, I'd been going for a sister size* as my usual 32E wasn't in their size range. I reviewed their first larger cup style, Lily, back in March 2014 and, in February... Continue Reading →
Last week I received an email asking if I'd like something from Ultimo to review. As it's a lingerie brand that I currently know very little about, I went straight to their website to take a look.

The first of these is the super pretty Mia Kimono Pint Bra and brief with detachable suspenders. A stylish addition to any lingerie drawer, I think you'll agree.... Continue Reading →
