Lingerie Search UK

A WEBSITE game that encourages girls as young as nine to create virtual “bimbos” by buying boob jobs, designer lingerie and diet pills, has led to international outrage.

Musotica.com, online store for women swimwear, lingerie, clubwear and costumes, launches a Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton bikini line, made in California, U.S., to meet the demand for political fashion. “Nobody has yet thought of the idea to express viewpoints via swimwear,” says designer Antonia Serrell-Watts.

Stella McCartney’s long awaited lingerie line has now been launched and is available to buy; with flirty girly names like ‘Jessica Bathing’ and ‘Eve Giggling’ for her bra sets, we wanted to take a wee peek to see what we think!

According to Ms McCartney, her love for lingerie is a long-standing obsession; using her expertise as a fashion designer and her love for lingerie, she has got together with Bendon (constructors of Elle McPherson’s lingerie), to produce lingerie that is well-made and beautiful. With a ‘functional’ but sexy look to it, McCartney’s collection is reminiscent of the simplicity we see with French Brand Huit; simple cottons and silks have been expertly put together with Stella’s signature feminine shades to create a collection that seems to complement Stella McCartney’s current fashion collection beautifully.

Eve Giggling

Our attention was drawn, in particular, to the Eve Giggling Set; with blush silk and tulle mesh for the cups, and wide silk straps, the bra is like ballet shoes and a tutu rolled into one. The silk cups have stitch detailing, evoking images of hand-crafted vintage couture; the matching thong is simple with see-through tulle mesh and a piece of elegantly positioned silk to keep it on the right side of sexy.
Given that Stella McCartney is among the most renowned designers in recent times, one might expect the price of her lingerie to match that of her clothes; at £80 for the Eve Giggling Bra and £40 for the Thong we think it’s not a bad price! Other pieces include the Daisy Dreaming bra at £60, the Jessica Bathing Bra at £65, and the cheekily named Sandy Stripping Bra at £125 ; all are available exclusively online at Net a Porter.

Weekend Briefs

For a (perhaps slightly indulgent) weekend treat, we think you will love these Weekend Knickers £65 from the collection; the briefs are made of cotton and silk with lovely ‘old fashioned’ lace trim - a cute option for a flirty weekend girl!

We love it when we find a new site that excites us, and Dolce V is doing just that! Dolce V boasts a gorgeously wide range of lingerie and swimwear, with bra sizes ranging from A to G cups; designers include well-known larger cup favourites such as Fauve and Miss Mandalay, ‘luxury lingerie’ designers including Guia la Bruna and Damaris, and lovely maternity lingerie designer Hot Milk.

Adorisadora exclusive in the UK

If you love Italian lingerie, you’re going to love Adorisadora; we spied them in Paris and fell in love with their beautiful creations. We’re loving this breathtakingly beautiful Silk Baby Doll (above left), and the utterly sexy Stretch Satin Bustier (above right) which are among Adorisadora’s stunning current collection, and exclusive in the UK at Dolce V.

With Floral designs dominating this year’s Spring/Summer Collections, we’ve chosen three sets we think you’ll love!

We start with a designer close to home: Aye, it’s Ted Baker! Having started in Glasgow (an hour’s drive from Knickers HQ) in the late 1980’s with a men’s shirt shop, the brand has grown rapidly and is now internationally renowned with collections ranging from the original men’s wear to lingerie! We’re loving this gorgeous floral print Mauve bra £38; the elaborate print is quirky with the contemporary elegance synonymous with the Baker brand. Beautifully decorated with an unfussy lace trim around the cups, the padded satin bra is prettily seductive with subtle bows on the gorgeous floral straps. The cute matching shorties £20 are simply designed with a refined girliness that is just so sexy!

If you’re loving the floral idea, but want something a little more subtle, take a look at this beautiful Rosebud Bra set by Elegantly Scant £40. Enchantingly glamorous, this set follows the floral trend with a difference; subtly printed silk and contrasting black edging and straps, it is bang up to date and has a beautifully romantic look to it. The frill on the bra and ‘frilled’ briefs £30
add a stunning detail to an already alluringly beautiful, oh so pretty look we just adore!

Freshly picked from their new Spring/Summer Collection, this fantastically floral Maisie bra by Freya £29 is pushing all the right buttons for us! With a fun, retro, floral print combined with floral embroidered mesh topping the cups, Freya has gone floral-tastic, and we’re loving it! Delightful shorties £12 in semi sheer fabric with a hint of a frill add a little flirtiness to an adorable ‘every day’ set for larger cupped ladies.
For those in the US, the Maisie Bra $70 and matching Thong $21 are available at Bare Necessities.
