Today I am posting something that I am really not happy with.
I bought Figleaves Boudoir's Carmen as part of my search to find a flirtatious little babydoll to lounge about in.
On the model, it was everything I wanted. The sheer cups and severe strapping give a subtle nod to the whole 50 shades craze, and the vibrant purple gives the piece a feminine edge. Yet the moment it arrived I was sorely disappointed.
At the weekend I spoke about my quest to find a Babydoll - something flirty, fun, playful, and coquettish.
Saturday saw me spinning about the room in the Elomi Maria - today, it's the turn of the Curvy Kate Ritzy!
I'm not a huge fan of the babydoll ... I prefer my lingerie to be structured, my waist tightly cinched in and my boobs lifted to my chin! Basques and corsets are what I have lusted over for years and expect I'll continue to do so till the die that lingerie is simply no longer an appeal - which will most likely be the day I die.
That is not to say that the Babydoll is not a great piece of lingerie that all should wear. When first meeting my now-husband, I invested in a great dark purple babydoll for floating about his bedroom in. I felt girly, free, and sensual. I have since misplaced this fantastic piece of lingerie, god knows how or where, so I thought I'd invest again.
I love lingerie!
I'm sure that won't come as a great surprise to my regular readers ... I am, quite frankly, obsessed.
I have a lingerie wardrobe that hangs all my beautiful pieces and I'm continuously lusting after the latest range from What Katie Did, Harlow and Fox, and Mimi Holiday by Damaris.
However, finding lingerie to fit the girls is often troublesome. Bras and pants in luxurious lace and silk aren't too much of a problem to find. However, the kind of item that is only made to wear in the bedroom ... that proves troublesome.
Desperation rife, I've turned to Etsy where the option to buy customised pieces in made-to-measure sizes seems to come as standard.
Over the next few weeks I'll be show casing some of my favourite sellers and the wonderful items they make. All items are handmade in Britain and are, quite simply, lust worthy!
Whether its a night out with your favourite girlfriend, a night to reconnect with your hubby, or dinner with the guy that you've been head over heels in lust with for the past three months, everyone needs a date night dress!
This is mine from last weekend's dinner and cocktails with two of my greatest friends.
