Shopping in retail stores can be difficult and uncomfortable at times. You can get the look and feel of the garment you are selecting but you may be the nervous yet wind up selecting the wrong item. Sometimes the salesperson also tries to tempt you and out-off-vain, you tend to select what you shouldn’t in order to avoid the detailed yet comfortable purchase. Online lingerie stores are the best, easiest and safest place to shop. Your purchase there is discreet and confidential and can be returned.
Lingerie yet the first layer of dressing should be comfortable thus one needs to choosy while buying it, think of it as a basic wear which boosts your confidence. This exotic yet intimate lingerie collection which is available in all sizes and vibrantcolours is extra-layered, stretchable, sheer and soft yet comfortable.
You can then choose something that is casual and on the safe side such as lace, satin or silk. Or, select something more risky such as leather, Lycra, PVC or vinyl. Be careful, PVC is great for the right occasion but only fits well on true sized people.
Available from global brands like Elegant Moments, Hustler, Klife, Magic Silk, NGalo, Shirley of Hollywood and Spice.
The styles which are preferable-in this season being-
Chemise- A one-piece undergarment that is the same in shape as a straight-hanging sleeveless dress, which is fitted more closely around the hips.
Corset- A bodice worn to mould and shape the torso. This effect is typically achieved through boning, either of bone or steel.
Stockings- Close-fitting, elastic garments that cover the feet and legs.
Baby Doll- Baby-doll are typically loose-fitting with an empire waist and thin straps.
Teddies- an undergarment that resembles the shape of a one-piece bathing suit because it is typically sleeveless, and sometimes even strapless.
According to Samir Saraiya, CEO, That’s Personal, “Lingerie in India seems to a sector which is yet to be explored due to dis-oriented supply chains, lack of trial rooms and a feeling of discomfort while buying it from outside. We provide the customers an easiest way to buy it.We pack your order in a tamper proof plastic bag. We don’t put any indication of product/website name on the packaging box*. This ensures complete privacy of your order and safeguards the quality and packaging of your order.”

Q&A with Hollywood Curves’ Tailor James
Hollywood Curves Executive Vice President Tailor James is all too familiar with issues of fashion faux pas. As a former Playboy Playmate and International Model, James benefited from identifying solutions commonly used by stylists and designers to fix common wardrobe malfunctions. With her expertise and sensual fashion sense, James teamed with a respected product development team and manufacturer to produce Hollywood Curves, which currently consists of 26 items. Tailor James details her journey to company vice president and the wide range of roles she plays in building Hollywood Curves.
How did your experience as a Playboy Playmate and lingerie model play a role in designing Hollywood Curves?
Modelling for many years, I have had the benefit of working closely with top industry professionals, and have been privy to some of their creative approaches that contribute in creating that “perfect look”. Through countless photo shoots, I realized these choices are just as valuable in a woman’s everyday life as they are to creating that glamorous red carpet look. All women can relate to having that perfect outfit that they wanted to wear, but something just didn’t quite fall into place when they put it on. It’s imperative that every woman have that opportunity to look and feel comfortable and confident no matter what they’re wearing. Having had worn so many different styles and varieties of lingerie over the course of my career, more so than most women do in a lifetime, I have become quite knowledgeable and conscious with my experience of what makes lingerie and figure-enhancing products work and what doesn’t. As an alternative to costly and invasive surgery, Hollywood Curves enables women to look their best throughout all phases of their lives. Let’s face it, our bodies may change but our sex appeal shouldn’t have to.
What role did you play in the creation of Hollywood Curves?
I began researching where to find these figure enhancing products, but was usually led on a wild goose chase. I wasn’t satisfied with what was available on the market, if available at all. The market for these products is most definitely underserved. When looking for shape wear, a popular Hollywood must-have, I found it disappointing how they looked as a stand-alone item. Why does shape wear need to resemble something our of your grandma’s panty drawer? Not something you would want to reveal at the end of a hot date! There are a lot of products out there that are not practical and I needed to create a practical, useful product that actually works. Deciding to take matters into my own hands, I teamed up with business associates that I have made over the course of my career, and created Hollywood Curves. Hollywood Curves is a brand that provides functional, quality figure-enhancing solutions and products that eliminate those annoying, far too common wardrobe malfunctions.
How involved are you in the brand’s day to day operations and/or marketing?
When we put the idea together, we created the Hollywood Curves assortment and perfected the products with our key factories. Currently we are working on adding sexy lingerie with all the benefits of shape wear, to the assortment. From day one, I have been completely hands on from development, market research, fit, copy writing, packaging, design, photos-shoot styling, ad concepts, sample shopping to travelling worldwide for trade shows and presentations for all of our international distributors. Being a model, I understand the marketing aspect and have been able to promote all of which I have learned in the past.
What inspired you to take an executive role in the company?
I had a great idea, I found an exceptional company with over 25 years of experience in lingerie manufacturing, and together both having a vested interest we are able to create a strong viable company in this under saturated marketplace. I want Hollywood Curves to inspire women to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin without going under the knife. Beauty comes in all ages, shapes and sizes.
What are your expectations for the success of this brand?
Hollywood Curves offers a quality product that every woman can use to make them look and feel better at a reasonable price along with offering the newest greatest styles. We know that if we ship a quality product and customers are looking for it, it will sell. Hollywood Curves’ initial line of lingerie accessories and figure enhancing solutions consists of key items which have been a proven success with many retailers around the globe resulting in incremental sales and amazing sell throughs.
What is unique about the Hollywood Curves collection? What does it offer that other shapewear lines don’t?
Hollywood Curves is not looking just to throw products together and hope people buy them. Hollywood Curves offers practical items at the best quality. Hollywood Curves is comfortable, functional, practical and sexy all in one. Not to mention, we have eye-catching and premium packaging. I know what women want to look like like and Hollywood Curves is giving them the opportunity to do just that. Whether you want to slim down or enhance your beautiful figure, from the bedroom to the boardroom, Hollywood Curves has got you covered.
Which Hollywood Curves items are most popular?
Hollywood Curves has created such a fantastic assortment of Booty and Boobie Boosters, My Magic Bra’s and the Magic Boob Job. All are affordable ways to get the enhancement and look you want without invasive surgery. When people look at her, they’ll say, “she’s got Hollywood Curves”.
What future plans are there for Hollywood Curves?
Hollywood Curves’ next collection is currently in development; multi-function bras and lingerie but with the benefits of shape wear. We are creating a beautiful line that doesn’t just make you link good with your clothes on, but also as an intimate item all on its own. Hollywood Curves is a brand dedicated to providing women with affordable figure enhancing solutions and quick fashion fixes, so they can look great and feel confident in their favourite fashions. We are masters in terms of design, looks and packaging appeal. Hollywood Curves is able to offer displays to the retailer that houses all of our cohesive products, shop in shops for retailers that can dedicate real estate to this growing category. Our marketing campaign will be explosive and when customers hear of Hollywood Curves they will know where to find it.

Made by Niki’s “Almost Famous” SS14 Collection
As we steadily roll through Spring into Summer, everyone’s mood brightens and thoughts of road trips to the beach sprout in all of our hearts. This carefree feeling is unfused into Made by Niki’s new SS14 collection. Designer Niki McMorrough sits down with us for this exclusive Q&A giving us insights into her new collection along with a generous sampling of images and inspirations direct from Niki:
Q&A with Niki McMorrough Niki, could you give us a brief overview of SS14 Almost Famous? Have you ever seen the Almost Famous Movie, with Kate Hudson? It captures a brilliant golden moment in 1970’s bohemian west coast rock n roll, when a mega rock band meets an innocent, sexy, chaotic, inspiring, heart-warming entourage and they go on the road trip of a lifetime. Made by Niki’s SS14 ‘Almost Famous’ collection was inspired by that summery road tour, festival feeling.
What are some of the key looks from the collection?
There are 37 pieces in the collection. Expect lots of fringes, sheer silks and flowers crafted into bras, knickers, kaftans, garlands and body pieces which make your boobs look bigger, your waist smaller and bottom more pinchable.
What are some familiar Made by Niki styles your customers will recognize?
Made by Niki fans will recognize the best-selling String bodysuits, this time in the season’s muted shades of coral and plain jet black which have been prevalent at Fendi, Stella McCartney and Elie Saab, among others.
What are some new styles debuting with this collection?
Totally new looks for the season include the sheer silk circle kaftan which makes a fantastically wearable festival-fashion piece. It has a matching bra and french knicker set which gives the illusion of a fuller bust and fun, flouncy hips.
The shoelace bra definitely adds ‘oomph’ to your boobs with it’s bootlace embellishment all over the cups. These volumising styles are fab for women who would like a little amplification in the chest department, but there’s also a smooth cup version for those who don’t need the extra ‘help’!
There are some beautiful and fashionable accessories like the fur collar and flower garland. Could you talk about the inspirations behind those pieces? How do your retail and consumer customers react to these items?
Our customers love the flower fashion accessories – they can be worn as ready-to-wear accessories or as sexy body-garland bedroom pieces, and are made from millions of laser cut chiffon flower petals which were inspired by a hippie festival vibe. They are totally adjustable, so that one size fits everybody. How could you not fall in love with that?
And of course, you can’t have a festival fashion collection without a fur shearling collar that can be layered over anything (or nothing). This piece adds a rugged, luxurious ‘touch me’ texture to any outfit. It’s the perfect ‘Made by Niki’ piece, as it exudes a cheeky innocent sexiness, and keeps you warm when you’re out causing havoc in the middle of the night. Even our ‘bra’ stockists have invested quite heavily in the fur fashion pieces, as they are so easy to style with everything, and who doesn’t love the idea of soft shearling against sexy, bare skin? I think this piece has been a favourite ‘gift’ purchase, especially with men who are confused about bra sizes.

Lingerie’s Best Kept Secrets: Discover A/W Trends
Based on NellyRodi’s lingerie trend forecast, the three main themes for Autumn/Winter 2012 are Fetichic, Talisman and Softness. While the Fetichic trend uses sexy shapewear and curve-perfecting sets in variations of black and a touch of white, Softness satisfies a desire for cocooning and relaxation, using a blend of cotton-silk and angora fabrics in hues of gray and ivory beige. Talisman, is a very sophisticated trend with a predominance of lace on push-up and padded bras, embellishments and satin/silk fabrics. On the market of ethical lingerie, theme-related underwear can be found at Saumarez, By Nature, In Bloom, Luva huva and The Natural Store.
FETICHIC
As a multi-brand lingerie specialist, Saumarez has an extensive selection of luxurious and glamourous underwear. All brands are conciously chosen for their ethical standards and beautiful designs.
TALISMAN

SOFTNESS

More brands are showing talents for creating innovative designs out of organic, recycled and sustainable materials. Now the modern woman can assume her feminity with style and ethics.

How to Wear Lingerie Sets
If you're looking to spice up your relationship or surprise your honey with a spicy treat, there's nothing more appropriate than sexy lingerie sets. From suggestive lingerie sets for a romantic evening to bridal lingerie sets, you want to look and feel desirable when you're wearing these racy intimates. Finding the right lingerie for your body, personality and style will help you to maintain a risque, but natural look.
Be confident
When you rock an enchanting negligee or a sexy teddy, you want to feel as good as you look. Having confidence in what you wear can make all the difference. Don't choose lingerie pieces that will leave you feeling anything less than fabulous. If you're wearing it, you should own it. The intimates that you choose can benefit you physically and emotionally. Wearing a body shaping corset can improve your posture, hold in your tummy and lift your assets while a pair of lacy panties may leave you feeling sweet and sensual.
Whether you prefer wearing delicate slips or naughty undergarments, ease your way into the world of lingerie with styles you can wear underneath your clothes. By concealing a suggestive set under your clothes, you can channel your inner siren and radiate confidence. Your man will love the flirty teasing and the anticipation of what's to come. If you'd rather slip into something a little more comfortable upon arriving at home, choose a set that you can easily slide into, like a lacy or sheer nighty. Either way, you'll both enjoy the sultry confidence that comes with lingerie.
Wear lingerie sets that fit
Make sure that your lingerie is properly fitted to your body. Much like bras, lingerie needs to fit if it's going to look fantastic. You should regularly measure your bust to ensure that you're wearing the right bra size and choose lingerie sets that offer well-fitting cups. You don't want to be wearing a too-tight piece with boning that digs into your rib cage or a too-loose piece that sags and makes you look frumpy. The right lingerie will hug your curves in an alluring way, creating a feminine silhouette that no man could resist.
Most lingerie sets are often designed for women who wear the same size on both the top and bottom. With varying body types and styles, you may need a bigger bust and smaller hip coverage or vice-versa. If this is the case, don't be afraid to have your lingerie tailored. You can find seamstresses and tailors that specialize in delicate garments.
Be comfortable
The fit isn't the only detail that determines your level of comfort in when it comes to intimates. Just like the rest of your clothing, when you wear lingerie, it's important to feel comfortable in your entire ensemble. If you're not comfortable, you'll feel awkward and self-conscious. He'll sense that you're on edge and neither of you will benefit from your adventure in sexy underwear. For beginners, try something simple and modest like a satin chemise or a lacy babydoll. If you're looking to try something a little bolder, try a front hook and eye closure corset
Don't be afraid of colors
When you think of lingerie sets, it's likely that you're imagining black lacy numbers or pure and innocent white styles for new brides. It may be conventional for a newly married woman to wear white lingerie on her wedding night, but you don't have to stick to tradition. Whether you're looking for romantic lingerie for brides or a hot night with your beaux, you can and should veer away from the traditional white and black lingerie sets. Look through your wardrobe and determine what colors look best with your skin tone and hair color. Those same colors will look fabulous in sheer and lacy lingerie styles.
Wearing lingerie can be an empowering style choice. Choosing the right garments to fit your body and comfort level will enhance the experience tenfold. Whether you're a beginner or a connoisseur of women's intimates, you can find a vast array of lingerie sets, corsets and more to boldly entice your love or boost your confidence.

For example, you’re preparing a romantic dinner while he’s at work, you can text him something like “I’m preparing a special treat for you tonight, come home soon”. The whole point is to tease him the whole day so that he wishes to come home as soon as possible to see what you are preparing. Send him a couple of text messages, maybe even a multimedia message of the food you’re preparing or the dress you’re planning to wear. On the other hand, don’t give away too much, leave something for his imagination.
2. Set the Mood
The second most important thing about a romantic meal, right after the food itself, is the atmosphere. We all know a recipe for a romantic atmosphere – dim the lights, light up a couple of scented candles, put some soft music on. That’s pretty much enough, try not to overdo it, you don’t want your dining room to look like a brothel. Make sure you finish all the preparations before your husband comes home, so that you can both enjoy the meal and each other’s company.
3. Take Care of Yourself
You need to prepare yourself for having a romantic meal too. You can’t cook all that great food, set up a romantic mood and then greet your husband in a sweat shirt. Take care of yourself.
Put your best dress on and combine it with a nice pair of shoes. You can’t wear a dress and slippers after all. You want not only to look sexy, but also to feel sexy – put on your best sexy lingerie, because even though it can’t be seen, just knowing that you’re wearing it will make you feel a lot sexier.
Put on same make up and some good jewelry. Do your hair and your nails. Prepare yourself like you were going out to some really fancy dinner. Show your husband that you care, not only about preparing a good meal, but also about how you look. He will surely appreciate it and you will feel amazing.
4. The Food
And now we’ve came to the most important part of your romantic meal – the food. It would be a good idea to prepare a complete meal, with a light appetizer, a tasty main course and a delicious dessert. It’s better to make it all light, so that you both can try all three courses and you don’t want to feel like a blown up balloon after you’ve spent all day preparing a romantic meal.
If you need some help with the recipes, check out our article on 5 Best Recipes for a Romantic Dinner for two and you will certainly find something that will suit you. Remember that complicated things aren’t always the best, after all, no dessert can top fresh strawberries dipped in melted chocolate, right?
5. The Drinks
Every good meal is accompanied by good drinks, so make sure to add some romantic drinks into the mix of your romantic meal. Choose your drinks both depending on what you like and on what you are cooking.
Chicken, fish or generally white meat for main course, calls for some nice white wine. On the other hand, if you are preparing beef or pork or any stronger meal, red wine goes better with it. Of course, you can never be wrong with some champagne, either at the beginning of your dinner, or at the end, over dessert.
Whichever drink you choose, make sure not to have too much of it, because there’s nothing romantic or sexy about either of you being wasted. If you don’t drink alcohol, choose a simple sparkling water, root beer or ginger ale or make a non-alcoholic cocktail.
Now you have 5 basic things you need to know about making a romantic meal. Remember them, use them and make a romantic meal every now and then. It’s not only about the food; it is also a great way to revive that old passion between you and your partner.

5 Smoking Hot Messages to Send to Your Boyfriend
Using your phone or Facebook to tell your boyfriend you miss him every hour or so is a no-no and a turn-off I’m afraid. Messaging him to turn him on and rev up the anticipation of seeing each other later on though is a different story!
Check out some of these hot messages to send to your boyfriend. They are sure to fire up his imagination and get him wanting you.
Instead of sending your tenth soppy ‘I love you’ message, try some sexting and rest assured you will both enjoy this sexual tease.
1: The ‘Guess what I’m wearing underneath’ sexual tease
This type of message works best when you tell it to him straight. Send him a short and succinct message that states exactly what sexy lingerie you are wearing.Black lace French knickers are a good visual prompt, and you can tease his imagination even more by describing them as the ones that show off the curve of your ass when you bend over!
By including the hint of physical action in your description you enhance the picture in his imagination, turning it from a static image to a moving picture.
To add to the sexual tease even more, tell him where you are while you are wearing them.
The thought of knowing what naughty underwear you are wearing whilst in a professional or public environment will work wonders on his imagination, especially if he is incorporating that excellent visual prompt of you bending over; because now he also has props to work with, like the meeting room table…
2: The ‘Honey I’m going commando under this dress’ tip
There is nothing more exciting than knowing that his girlfriend, who is standing right next to him at a public event, is wearing a skimpy dress with no knickers on, and he can’t touch her!
If you send him the message before you meet up, then he will spend the rest of the event trying to see if he can identify the fact that you are wearing no underwear by discretely checking out your ass. He’ll be trying to think of ways he can get close to you and perhaps run his hand up your thigh without anyone else seeing, just to get a sneaky private graze of something intimate!
He will definitely try to find ways to grope you through the material of your dress, and knowing that you are wearing nothing underneath will make the experience extremely erotic for both of you.The sex appeal of being told that his girlfriend is wearing no underwear is that in his head he could just lift up your dress and… well, if there were no people there to object, of course!
The mere thought of it will occupy his thoughts the entire time, rest assured, he will be imagining all sorts of possible scenarios and trying to figure out how he can make the most of this sexy opportunity.You will definitely be in for a sexy treat as soon as he gets you alone!
3: The ‘I’m thinking about that thing we did last night’ reminder
There is nothing sexier than a spontaneous flashback, instigated by his girlfriend, of the previous evening’s sexual exploits. Make the message count by describing in graphic detail the exact parts you enjoyed most, and make sure you mention his superhuman tongue skills, or his big hard cock!
The naughty words will be an instant turn on, especially when viewed on his phone or computer screen.The way to make this a message he will remember is to make it as visual as possible. Don’t be vague and say that he made you cum so hard; describe what sex position you were in when it happened!Were your legs up in the air? How wet were you? Were you on top of him? What were you wearing? What was he touching? Did he take you from behind? Did he grip your ass? Pinch your nipples?
It doesn’t take much to transport a man back to the scene, but a few choice visuals will do the trick.
4: The ‘I want you right now’ demand
Even if it is not possible to make it happen right then and there, receiving a text from his girlfriend that tells him she is hot, horny and ready for him will be an instant turn on.
Men love to have their ego boosted, especially when it is about sex. If you message your boyfriend and tell him you miss him, he might think, that’s nice; but you also run the risk of sounding needy. If on the other hand you message him and tell him that you miss his dick, well his head has just gone through the roof, or er… straight up and out of his zipper.
Tell him what you want, how you want it, and when you want it, and you will most likely get the results you’re looking for. Men go gaga for women who are hot for them.
5: The secret fantasy share
Let your boyfriend in on a few dirty secrets by sending him a naughty message describing the dream you had last night, or one of your deepest darkest desires. The more spontaneous it is the more turned on he will be, and the less you tell him, the more eager he will be to see you and find out more!Don’t be afraid to make it up too, it doesn’t have to be true, just raunchy enough to get his imagination going.
Check out some of these hot messages to send to your boyfriend. They are sure to fire up his imagination and get him wanting you.

Lost in Wonderland’s New Fashion Film
Berlin-based Lost in Wonderland released a lovely fashion film showcasing the brand’s collection of intimates. The film follows two women in various scenes showing off the brand’s collection and packaging.
“The commercial is especially made for all the women in the world, who wear lingerie for themselves first. You’re just perfect,” said the brand.
Our favorite moment is seeing Lost in Wonderland’s Valeska Playsuit in motion near the end of the short film. The playsuit is made from black elastics with high quality metal rings, adjustable garters, six golden garters clips (metal) and decorative gild-tipped & ringed bows .

Sizzling Lingerie Trends for Upcoming Months
However, it is possible to look sensuous in your own unique way, as Moss did alongside recently-risen fashion star Cara Delevigne. Delevigne wore a silky pink pair of white-lace bordered briefs reminiscent of the shiny trend. This was combined with a washed-out grey jumper and long, furry coat. The haunted house mystique foreshadows the biggest trend set for autumn/winter 2013 – 21st Century Romance.
21st century opulence takes us to a place of gothic mystique with a splash of sovereign magic that makes the trend dazzle. Take for instance the spectacular piece presented by Jean Paul Gautier during his spring/summer 2013 collection. The majestic oriental overcoat piece is paired with a set of empirical shiny tights, bringing across a vampire princess allure to the entire outfit.
Lingerie TipsIf you prefer to add a more feminine innocence, look for sexy lingerie pieces that resemble styles similar to the ones worn by Kate Moss and Cara Delevigne during the Louis Vuitton lux parade. These pieces come in the form of archaic floral pieces such as Panache’s Angie basque – a dark circular patterned corset style shaping piece. It gives off the twisted murder-mystery feel portrayed during the Louis Vuitton show incredibly well.
The trend witnesses lingerie pieces – worn as inner, as well as outerwear – in shades of as deep red, blue and black. Shimmering décor embedded in the pieces is just as important as lacy and floral patterning. As well as these, there is a selection of lingerie pieces available out there, which is practical to wear with plunging necklines. For instance, the Splendour diamante backless bra contains a diamante back string to clasp the bra together. This makes it suitable to wear during glamorous nights out with a bond-girl style low-back robe.

Must Have Pieces To Update Your Lingerie Wardrobe
Spring is officially here, and so are the spring lingerie fashions. Only slightly straying away from last years neon trend, the lingerie colour palette for 2014 is still bright and cheery- but is no longer so bright it could be directing traffic. Pastels and bright colours in shades like candy pink, lemon sorbet, tangerine and aqua. Florals, of course, are back for spring. So are fun cutesy prints and retro high waisted shorts. After nearly two years on the upswing the longline is officially a lingerie style that it here to stay, with nearly every UK boutique label rolling out their edition of this increasingly popular style.
If you are like me and have a large lingerie collection that keeps growing their is no way in the world that you wear each of your bras seasonably. Unlike seasonable clothes, bra and lingerie set fashion appears to move a little bit slower for this reason. Typically, lingerie fashion fans will usually purchase only a few select pieces each season. This is why designers tend to stagger their spring/summer designs and autumn/ winter designs. I tend to update with one statement piece per season, so I really only purchase about four bras a year. Because the DD+ lingerie brands that I shop for are high quality and tend to last, i’ve found myself with an extensive collection in a wide variety of color palettes that tell the fashion trend stories from the last few years. I’ve noticed that their really hasn’t been any dramatic variations. The lovely thing about fashion in any realm is that colour trends to transition but they are rather predictable for each season so this helps to keep older pieces still fashionably relevant.
That said, updating your wardrobe with a few new sexy lingerie sets can be a real mood booster! Not to mention it is a good time to check and see if your bra size has fluctuated at all. Spring is a good time to try on your old lingerie and sort out what fits and what does not fit. You may also want to donate some older styles to make room for your new purchases.
If you want to be up on the trends my advice is to buy at least one bra in the most popular color for the 2014 season, and then maybe an adorable print. What I like to do is purchase a style that I need, in a color that is current. For example, aside from the Panache line Fantasie bras have always been a close favorite for me, especially the Rebbeca design. This year Fantasie has released the Rebecca in a gorgeous magenta colour and I absolutely cannot wait to snatch one up.
If you do not have the funds to do a full lingerie wardrobe overhaul this spring, stick with choices that are season-less and timeless. As fun as it is to keep up with colour and style trends, it is more important to have a functional lingerie wardrobe that works all year round. Instead of migrating towards very “current” colours, look for styles that come in classic colours and offer plenty of functionality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sticking with the white, nudes, and blacks if that is what you prefer although that may be hard to do after seeing this years colour palette!

Pin-Up Model, SINderella Rockafella, Poses in Raine & Bea Lingerie
Raine & Bea recently teamed up with international supermodel, SINderella Rockafella for a photoshoot for the brand. Photographer, Chrissy Sparks, has captured beautiful shots of the pin-up model wearing the “Trudi” feather skirt and bralette. The 23 year old model comes from Coughton, England, and the blonde beauty is versatile in her modelling abilities.
Although SINderella Rockafella specializes in Pin-Up and alternative modelling, she also has experience in Fashion and Boudoir. Using her natural talent and experience, SINderella Rockafella has been pictured in magazines wearing the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. When the international Pin-up model posed in Raine & Bea for photographer Chrissy Sparks at Doll House Photography, it was a match made in lingerie heaven said the company.
Founded in 2013 by Jenna Barnes, Raine & Bea has made a huge splash on the lingerie scene. In their first year, the vintage and burlesque lingerie designer has already been nominated for the 2013 UK Lingerie Awards for UK’s Favourite Lingerie Brand of the Year and UK’s Favourite British Designer of the Year, which is determined by public voting.
Raine & Bea’s new campaign features SINderella Rockafella in the “Trudi” feather skirt and bralette. The lingerie designed by Raine & Bea, including those shown, are all handcrafted and hand sewn using only the highest quality silk-satins, polka-dot nettings, feathers, and Swarovski crystals. The collection features the classic shapes of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s with a fresh twist.
Designer, Jenna Barnes, has an extensive design background and also created Frockstar, a red carpet and cabaret clothing brand. With a love of the vintage, Barnes decided to branch into lingerie after working with the likes of Celine Dion costumes and discovering her love of Kylie Minogue’s Showgirl stage costumes. This led to Raine & Bea. Now that the sexy lingerie brand has paired up with SINderella Rockafella, there is certainly no telling just how far the Raine & Bea lingerie line will go.
Although SINderella Rockafella specializes in Pin-Up and alternative modelling, she also has experience in Fashion and Boudoir. Using her natural talent and experience, SINderella Rockafella has been pictured in magazines wearing the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. When the international Pin-up model posed in Raine & Bea for photographer Chrissy Sparks at Doll House Photography, it was a match made in lingerie heaven said the company.
Founded in 2013 by Jenna Barnes, Raine & Bea has made a huge splash on the lingerie scene. In their first year, the vintage and burlesque lingerie designer has already been nominated for the 2013 UK Lingerie Awards for UK’s Favourite Lingerie Brand of the Year and UK’s Favourite British Designer of the Year, which is determined by public voting.
Raine & Bea’s new campaign features SINderella Rockafella in the “Trudi” feather skirt and bralette. The lingerie designed by Raine & Bea, including those shown, are all handcrafted and hand sewn using only the highest quality silk-satins, polka-dot nettings, feathers, and Swarovski crystals. The collection features the classic shapes of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s with a fresh twist.
Designer, Jenna Barnes, has an extensive design background and also created Frockstar, a red carpet and cabaret clothing brand.

How do you make a lingerie shoot stand out in a way
How do you make a lingerie shoot stand out in a way that reads excitement, fun and above all allurement, without applying to the fashionable but classic recipes? Photographer Peter Coulson chose the wild road, highlighting the fabulous pieces of lingerie signed by Kisskill in an untamed editorial, photographed at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, teaming up with brunette beauties Tanya Alijani and Melody Le.
Some would say the grand location, the luxurious setting, the beautiful girls and the sexy lingerie would suffice in making a loud statement, but Peter Coulson isn’t one to skip an opportunity to break a few rules and push some limits along the way. Hence, his fierce photo shoot favoured the wild and playful side of femininity, captured during one wicked girls night out.
The seductive silk-chiffon slips, the silk pyjamas, alongside the sophisticated bodysuits rounded out the perfect recipe that was already set on champagne and delicious treats. Leonie Karagiannis was in charge of the glamorus make-up, while Andrea de Deugd created the flawless hair-styles.

White Sands’ spring / summer 2014 Show
Before White Sands’ spring / summer 2014 show was unveiled at Australian fashion week (MBFWA), designer Leah Madden hinted at what would be to come, noting that her favourite pieces were the “lingerie inspired corseted pieces, the new prints and patterns, and of course the return of the corals.” And with that, she summed up the elements that made the collection stand out, balancing it between femininity and functionality.
But as well as the soft tones and floral prints and lingerie-inspired cuts was another huge drawcard for the swim collection: it was flattering. Vintage inspired high waists and halternecks graced the runway alongside slicker, sportier cuts. It’s hard to imagine that any figure type couldn’t find something to flatter here.
On the runway the sexy swimwear was accompanied by just the right beauty look, described by Madden as “a very sexy, yet natural look – soft big hair, a dark eye with this fantastic nude lipstick.”

Padded push up bras with on trend colours like fuchsia pink and olive green paired matching briefs will add loads of sexy to your wardrobe but with a little more subtlety.

Curve Couture Countryphile AW13
Forged with traditional English influences, couture corsetier Chrissie Nicholson-Wild’s latest collection for Curve Couture, ‘Countryphile’ reflects the faded glory of the aristocratic country pile. Rundown and archaic heritage, still faintly gilded around the edges and still profoundly beautiful. Countryphile features Edwardian cut corsets in sensuous leather, classic tailored suits and glorious gowns mixed up with equine fashion, armour and Steampunk detailing. Hugely important to the aesthetic of Curve Couture is the transformative affect of the corset, both on the physical body and the psyche of it’s wearer noted the designer.
Nicholson-Wild says, “I love the aesthetics of the corset, the flow of the lines, the über feminine silhouette it creates. I love that when you wear a corset you feel like you’re wearing armour, and you know that all the eyes in the room are on you. It’s a wonderful kind of confidence to be put on show, and yet feel entirely protected.”

Coquette Celebrates 35 Years with 2014 Collection
Coquette released its 2014 Main collection today. The expanded and perfected line comes hand in hand with the company’s 35th milestone anniversary.
Establishing itself in Kitchener, Ontario back in 1979, the family run business has grown to compete on the international scale. Coquette is now the largest manufacturer and sexy lingerie in Canada, and distributes its brand globally to 64 countries. Taking on the ever changing fashion industry, Coquette continues to produce quality lingerie styles that meet the needs of today’s trending markets, while recognizing the varying demands of each of its demographics.
The line which encompasses the Canadian lingerie brand’s largest array of lingerie styles has once again outdone itself. The in-house designers have thusly shown their skills and ingenuity in their structural designs. The 2014 catalogue pages are filled with jewel toned images with a variety of textures through the use of different materials, sexy black show-stoppers, an extended accessories line, and of course the Coquette bridal line.
This year will prove to be another successful one for the brand as it continues to grow internationally. Coquette yet again has released a line that hits on all the popular notes in fashion, keeping a balance between trendy and traditional. Additionally, this line will promote more styles in plus sizing that incorporate structural differences compared to their regular counterparts. These details include larger straps and modesty panels for added support, as well as wider garters. In some of the corsets and bustiers the design team has even added a few inches to lengthen the piece for further coverage and overall, a superior fit.

Underprotection SS14
Making its way to New York City in just a few weeks is the Danish brand Underprotection. Co-founder and partner, Stephan Rosenkilde, recently sent us images from the brand’s SS14 collection that will be on display at the upcoming Lingerie Collective NYC show.
“This collection will take away all the cold and grey winter days, so if you are not in the mood for springtime, you will be! The key shapes are simple and easy to wear, but the color contrast in both prints and fabrics makes this collection very stylish and modern,” said Rosenkilde of the SS14 offerings.

Lingerie Relique SS14
The design duo at Relique takes inspiration for their SS14 collection from the Badlands — both the national park in South Dakota and the 1973 Terrence Malick film. “In the movie Sissy Spacek plays this unformed, lost youth character named Holly who is deeply in love with Martin Sheen’s fiercely psychotic character, Kit. We took the juxtaposition between these two characters to create our mood and designed pieces that are feminine almost innocent and also kept our older styles that are much more graphic and bold,” explained co-founder and creative director, Chelsea Carson.
This dichotomy of emotion carries over into the brand’s lookbook as well. “You can also see this in the way the look book was done in that for half of the photos our model looks like an innocent, untouched statue. In the other half she has a firm determined stance with slash like grass blades,” added Kait Vasquez, Relique’s co-founder and Director of Operations.
Carson noted that the brand’s previous silhouettes are present including four new styles. Three of the new styles are Relique’s new basics: the Pavo bralette, Hydra HW Brief, and the Vela bodysuit. The brand’s fourth new style is a garter belt that plays well with both the basics and classic styles from the past season and is more fashion forward and bold. It was developed by Relique to “…reach a new customer looking for comfortable everyday sexy lingerie that still has good design and is truly unique.”
The colors in this season’s collection from the earthy buttes, to pink sunsets were all inspired by the tall grasses found in the plains. The natural spectrum found in the Badlands — Mauve, Sand, Beige, White, Moss, Hunter, and Lime — also make their way into SS14.

Designer Ruxandra Gheorghe Bridal Lingerie World
Designer Ruxandra Gheorghe hopes to shake up the bridal lingerie world with her new range — Craisa.
Described by the designer as an extension of her lingerie brand, Ludique, Craisa offers a diversified selection of intimates from high-waist knickers, bras, suspenders to bodysuits with delicate geometrical insertions and adjustable cordon elastics designed “to make the most of the feminine curves”.
The bridal range’s name Craiasa, or snow queen, references Hans Christian Andersen titular character and the garments reflect touches of the story’s majesty, magic and mythology. The brand’s photo shoot was set in a real-life palace in the designer’s native Romania. “Artmark – Cesianu-Racovita Palace is one of the greatest palaces in Bucharest, a great cultural heritage and I am very happy that the shooting took place here,” said Ruxandra.
“With this sexy lingerie range, Ludique reinterprets the classical bride and sets her upon a pedestal with profound fairy-like meaning. The essence of femininity takes the shape of the precious materials used and sophisticated details with special design and unconventional shades,” says Ruxandra of her collection. “‘Craiasa’ is veiled in a mix of precious materials as Chantilly lace, fine tulle and velvet, meant to indulge the feminine silhouette, therefore these lingerie articles are turned into real statement pieces.”
It’s a beautiful collection and fans of the brand will note the aesthetic and conceptual similarities with Ludique’s AW13 collection — Madame Pogany. Both collections share Ruxandra’s desire to embody the duality of the feminine spirit, highlighting both seductive and confident nature and delicacy and grace which define femininity.
Ludique products are created and manufactured in limited edition and convey the Underwear as Outerwear trend through a diverse range of lingerie items reflecting femininity, sensuality, spirituality, sophistication and boldness.

Retail Advice: Small Bust Lingerie Market
It might be hard to believe that a market for smaller bust and petite lingerie exists. After all, the trend in intimate apparel over the past decade has been in the expansion of bras sizes to meet the needs of women wearing deep and/or plus sizes. Many more new full cup brands have been launched. And established manufacturers have extended their ranges up to J and K cups and beyond. Intimate apparel retailers have designated separate full bust or plus size shopping sections, either online or in their brick and mortar stores. All this attention to the D+ customer was long overdue. They have style, fit, and size issues that needed to be addressed. And rising sales and continued growth in this market proves that a demand for fashionable and well-fitting lingerie across many sizes has few limits.
But the pendulum may be swinging too far to one side of the alphabet cup. Another group of sexy lingerie consumers still feels neglected. And these smaller busted women (who might be considered the C- crowd) feel they have few choices when it comes to intimate apparel.
They may be right. A quick search of one popular on-line lingerie retailer shows as many styles offered in 34F as in 34C (approximately 650). The same retailer carries only 220 bras in a 34A, and a mere five bras in 32A and AA, with none in AAA.
According to some small bust intimate apparel manufacturers, the demand exists but continues to be ignored for a variety of reasons:
First, assumptions regarding petite-busted women undermine the growth of the petite bust lingerie market.Second, retailers aren’t aware of the needs of the small bust customer, which translates into a lack of inventory or misunderstanding of specific petite bust fit issues.Third, even though brands and stores don’t offer much in petite lingerie sizes, most lingerie advertising creates the illusion that they do.Both small bust manufacturers and several intimate apparel retailers agree that what’s needed is a change of mindset when it comes to filling this lingerie market gap.

Lingerie Fashion Week Kicks Off In NYC With Plenty Of Lace And Skin
Lingerie has fast moved from its roots of modesty to becoming mainstream, evolving with new fabrics, designs and trends. With this movement comes the third biannual Lingerie Fashion Week in New York City. While Canoe Studios is a far cry from the glamour of New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, it was a stage for both domestic and international brands to showcase their naughty goodies.
This is the first fashion week dedicated entirely to intimate apparel. Brands can use these three days to showcase their goods and designs to stylists, designers and buyers in the lingerie world. It is a stage to show not only the latest trends, but also the newest fabrics and designs.
Innerwear as outerwear is a trend that continues to gain momentum in the fashion world. It is no longer taboo to flash your bra under a sheer blouse, or wear a corset out at night. Women are now longing to feel sexy under their clothes, with lingerie giving them that power. Now, innovation and design are giving lingerie a new place in the market, as the dollars and demand rolls in.
Plenty of skin was on show as luxury brand Naked Princess brought its latest designs down the runway. From lacy bras, loose lounge pants, and sexy lingerie gowns the label created a cohesive collection that exuded sexiness. From sitting on the couch to Sunday to a special outfit for a special man, the brand did not disappoint the lingerie enthusiasts in NYC.
As a modern boudoir luxury house, the manufactures its products in the U.S. while importing the lace. As a brand fairly new on the scene, a spokesperson for the label discussed how they are able to stand out from the crowd. While it’s clear they are looking to find a place in the luxury market, it is hard-pressed to go up against corporate lingerie giants like Victoria’s Secret.

Sexy Lingerie For The Women You Love
I’ve always said that Christmas is the sexiest of holidays, given the sexy elves and weird mall Santas trying to cop a feel from said sexy elves. So why not buy your loved ones some sexy lingerie for Christmas?
Maybe I’m a weird freak, but I don’t think it’s weird to buy this stuff for your close friends. I actually feel like it’d be more off-putting to receive this from my boyfriend, because I think of lingerie as something that’s for me. I almost separate it completely from sex–lingerie is for wearing and feeling pretty in on special occasions (or just a Tuesday when you need a pick-me-up). It’s an unbelievably beautiful type of clothing, so why should we talk about it/share with our girlfriends and sisters?
I went to a bridal shower recently where we all brought lingerie as gifts, and at first I thought it would be painfully awkward to watch the bride open up sexy undies in front her mom and grandma. But it ended up being unbelievably fun and wonderful–we all brought beautiful pieces and it became this strange bonding experience for everyone in the room. So I am arguing for lingerie to become an acceptable gift for women, from women, instead of some weird secretive thing we all giggle about and buy in secret.
Our Lingerie Gift Guide has items at every price point (seriously!), from the shockingly affordable to high end items in the $100-range. These aren’t t-shirt bras. They’re not bras and tights and undies that you need. Instead, this is the stuff you want. Or at least we want.

Optifit Bras – The Shape Of Things To Come?
What you’re looking at are Optifit bras - a concept developed by Sue McDonald and her sister Linda over 25 years and completely obliterated in one fell swoop on the latest episode of the BBC’s Dragons Den.
“It was surreal” said Sue. “You come out of the lift and you look at them sitting there. It was just like watching them on the telly. I wasn’t nervous at all though – we always knew it would be a risk taking it on the show because it is for women only and is a product that truly goes against the current grain.”
At the time of my visit to the Optifit studio in Uppermill, Saddleworth the show hadn’t yet been aired and whilst Sue remained tight lipped about the outcome, her passion and drive for her invention would have suggested the full investment of £40,000 plus 10 per cent of shares to one or more of the Dragons.
Unfortunately it wasn’t to be as Duncan Bannatyne scoffed “resistance from the industry means your product doesn’t work” whilst Deborah Meaden turned her nose up at the idea of having to (God forbid) measure her own breasts. A puzzled looking Kelly Hoppen appeared to be working out how to count.
It was over before it had even begun, but watching you couldn’t help get the impression that the reaction from the Dragons represented everything that’s wrong with Society’s view of breasts in general.
As Sue explained: “Breasts are taboo. Historically foundation wear was designed to support the fashion designs of that particular decade and we still treat our breasts as a fashion accessory now. Yet talk to a woman who has had breast cancer and it hits home that you’ve got to look after your breasts. Problem is, no one teaches you how to do that.”
What Dragon’s Den probably edited out of the footage was that Sue undertook a research degree to get to the bottom of the numerical and alphabetical sizing system of measuring bra size which, for the 80 per cent of us who have been wearing the wrong bra size our entire adult lives, just doesn’t add up. Remember our article on finding the right size bra? There was and still is no right size bra.
“There’s no consistency whatsoever” said Sue. “After gaining a lot of experience I realised it’s actually the bra that’s not right, so I set about trying to find out what is a 34, 36 and 38? And what exactly is an A, B, C, D?
“When measuring for a bra, you measure around your rib cage then add four to an even number and five to an odd number. That’s your bra size. So if you measure 29 inches around the rib cage, you’ll add five and that makes you 34. But why?
“Then you measure around the fullest part of your breast. If that measures say 34 inches, it is the same as the ribcage size so therefore you’re an A. If you measure 35, that is one inch bigger than your rib cage so you’re a B, and so on. But again, why?”
Sue’s research led her back through history, through the “pointy scary ones and the roundy bouncy ones” as women dressed their breasts in order to reflect the ideal of the time, from Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to Pamela Anderson.
“The fashion industry is not interested in your body and how it works. It’s like painfully tight foot binding in China, damaging neck rings in parts of Africa and Asia and of course corsets in Victorian times which crushed your soft organs. We’re never good enough as we are.”
Even more alarmingly, Sue found conventional bras to be adapted from men’s WWI military uniform measurements.
Bra measurements were originally designed using the male chest circumference and adding a few inches depth to allow for the volume of the breast. However, Sue believes this is not only a completely ludicrous way of measuring a part of the body that has no defined or uniform shape, but that it is also based on a deeply unrealistic view of the female form.
“It was surreal” said Sue. “You come out of the lift and you look at them sitting there. It was just like watching them on the telly.

Is Keri Russell Dating Matthew Rhys?
The handsome pair engages in some violent scenes on the espionage thriller show, but sometimes the Felicity alum beats on the Welsh thesp in real life too.
"The smack usually comes the second before they say 'Action,'" Rhys says of Russell's pre-take pump-up routine. "Basically I am starting every scene with a slightly shocked look on my face and a red handprint on my cheek."
Dating rumors between Russell and Rhys heated up after the mother of two announced her separation from her husband of seven years, Shane Deary.
People magazine reported that the duo was spotted walking around her Brooklyn Heights neighborhood a few days before Christmas, shopping and looking at furniture on the street.
"They looked very much like a couple," a source tells the mag. "They were laughing and walking closely together."
Reps did not return a request for comment.
