Review of the Curvy Kate Tease in Black/Blush (32J, 14)

Posted on by

Those of you who have been readers for a long time might remember my love for Curvy Kate’s Showgirl collections – particularly the Tease Me and Thrill Me styles! Unfortunately, these styles only went to a 30J and sister sizes, and as a 30JJ/K, they were always a bit too small (not that that ever stopped me!). Luckily for me, not too long ago, the Tease Me was reinvented and re-released as the Curvy Kate Tease, in a new-and-improved size range of 28-38 D-J.

I usually wear a 30K in Curvy Kate’s unpadded bras, however, since this size isn’t available, I decided to try it out in a 32J with size 14 briefs. I’m also wearing the set here with my Lovehoney Flaunt Me robe (reviewed here) – I think the scalloped lace trims match this set perfectly! Continue reading →

Fallout Inspired Lingerie

Posted on by

Last year, the gaming community exploded with the news that the much-loved Fallout series would be receiving a new sequel. I’ve been thinking about doing a series of Fallout inspired lingerie for a while now, and with the first DLC release coming up, it seemed like the perfect time!

So, first up, Vault Boy! Vault Boy is an iconic mascot for the Fallout franchise, usually shown wearing the standard-issue vault jumpsuit in shades of bright blue and yellow.

Burlesque Inspiration with the Ewa Michalak S Gazeta

Posted on by

A couple of years ago, Ewa Michalak released a particular style which received an unbelievable amount of attention: the CHP Gazeta. This burlesque-inspired, newspaper print piece sold out incredibly quickly, and it’s still highly coveted throughout the lingerie community today. While the CHP has a smaller size range than some of Ewa’s other pieces, Ewa Michalak offers the option for many of her styles to be custom-made in another cut for a small fee. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an S Gazeta, which uses the same fabrics and detailing, but in a construction specifically designed for larger breasts.

With how sought-after this style is, I wasn’t able to get this bra in my preferred size of 70K (32K), so this is a 60L (28L). Continue reading →

SIL Preview: Freya AW16 (Including Freya Active & Freya Swim)

Posted on by

Today is going to be my last day of AW16 previews, and the last set of brands to cover is the Wacoal Eveden group! Wacoal Eveden produce some of the best known brands in the lingerie world, managing Fantasie, Freya, Huit, Wacoal, b.tempt’d, Elomi and Goddess. I’ll be sticking to the full-bust brands, starting with Freya! The Freya AW16 collection primarily features shades of electric and navy blue, lime yellow, orchid purple and chilli red.

One of my favourite styles of the collection, the Pin Up! This is an incredibly gorgeous retro style, featuring a leopard print base with lime yellow highlights, black satin piping and panelling. This is available in a very 50s strapless bustier style, as well as a slightly more modern padded half-cup style if that’s not your thing. Continue reading →

SIL Preview: Lepel London AW16

Posted on by

Finally, Lepel’s bolder little sister, Lepel London! Lepel London launched with A-DD cups in AW15, expanding to A-F cups in SS16, and this season, there should be one style available up to a G cup. I know, one style isn’t many, but the Lepel London team are working tirelessly to expand and develop their range, and there should be more styles available in SS17. So, onto the collection! The Lepel London AW16 collection primarily features shades of blue, black and blush, with pops of deep purple and bright pink.

I know what you’ve came for, so here is the Tamara Velvet, which I have been told should be going up to a G cup! I’ve spoken to numerous reps about this piece, all of whom have said different things about the size range, so I’m not making any guarantees. However, if this is indeed going to a G cup, I’m glad they’ve chosen this style – it is absolutely gorgeous. Based off the Tamara style (which will also be returning this season), it features royal blue satin on the cups and band, black velvet wire casings and strappy detailing, and black lace edging under the band. It also has coordinating high waisted briefs (yesss!), and with the bra and brief retailing for £30 altogether, this is a really gorgeous, affordable option. Continue reading →
