I’ve recently been watching a lot of Steven Universe, and a dear friend and I got to discussing the Crystal Gems’ individual styles. I thought it could be fun to put together some sets of lingerie inspired by the Crystal Gems, and as my friend (Lorna) is an illustrator, she thought it would be fun to do her own lingerie designs and illustrate the Crystal Gems in them. So, we decided to collaborate!

Let’s start with Pearl! Pearl’s style is elegant, floaty and ballerina-esque, using shades of duck egg blue, peachy pink, apple green and sunny yellow.

Clockwise from top left: Pearl; Fortnight Luna Soft-Cup (Blue, 2013); Lilipiache Happy Blue Underwire Bra; Myla Isabella in Menthol; ASOS Fuller Bust Natalie Lace Underwire Bra; Veil of Visions Star Nipple Pasties; Gossard Phoebe; Claudette Paloma High Waist Brief in Cayenne Red. Centre: What Katie Did Clarice Bra & 1940s Tap Pants in Blue (discontinued).

Next up, Rose Quartz! As the original leader of the Crystal gems, Rose Quartz’s style is grandiose, classic, and unabashedly feminine, featuring voluminous hair and ruffles, little adornments, and an abundance of pink.

Clockwise from top left: Rose Quartz; Fifi Chachnil Babylove Set; Dottie’s Delights Short Sheer Frou Frou Robe; White Wedding Angels Bridal Garter (via Etsy); Vintage Opulence Pink Ruffled Girdle (via Etsy); Madame Sher Corsets ‘Beautiful Darlings’ Collection (Louise Brooks and Ingrid Bergman designs); Curvy Kate Soda Pop Set; Lalilouche Barbara Tie Belt Garter. Centre: Torrid Rumba Briefs in Pink/Fuschia.

Not all of these items will be available anymore, so my apologies if you spotted something you loved that’s been discontinued or already sold! That aside, I’m so pleased with these sets, and I love Lorna’s designs/illustrations! If you’d like to see more of Lorna’s work, you can find her over on her illustration website, her tumblr and facebook, and she’s also selling these illustrations as prints in her store (which I might have to get a few of myself)!

What do you think? Are there any other pieces you would have picked? Which set would you be most likely to wear? Let me know any thoughts in the comments!
