After reading through buyer reviews and conducting my own review on M&S longline bras, it seems that the cups tend to run on the larger side! Also, when the description says “added stretch”, which M&S writes on a lot of their bras meant for comfort, it actually means (to me) to order a size down in the band! This fabric will stretch quite a bit. Take that into consideration.

Read What Buyers Had to Say

Beautiful Vintage-style glamour

“I’ve trawled the net and it’s so hard to get classic vintage-style underwear which is actually good quality, affordable and fits. I ordered one of these bras, and when it arrived and I had tried it on I ordered 2 more! Gives a great shape, sexy and really comfy for everyday wear.” – Marks & Spencer customer

Autograph Essentials longline Bra

“Beautiful design, however the bras is massive I should have got at least a back size and a cup size down, the cup size is on the large side too. Perfect fit, elegant design!” – Marks & Spencer customer

“Looks classy and elegant, fabric feels good on the skin. A beautiful design and perfect fit makes this definitely a recommended buy ! Would be nice if this bra also comes in white or cream.” – Marks & Spencer customer

My notes:

At first glance, I figured the model was wearing a white bra underneath this one because it was see-through lace. Now that I’ve had a closer look, it looks like this bra is padded (as it says up there in the product details). It’s probably to keep the lace from chafing, I just wonder why they didn’t make the padding black instead of nude/white?

New What Katie Did Spring/Summer 2011 Vintage Lingerie: Vicky

Vintage Inspired Lingerie

Mar 012011

What Katie Did has just launched their new Spring/Summer 2011 range, Vicky! Modeled by the one and only modern pin up girl Bernie Dexter. The new What Katie Did Vicky collection is classically beautiful lingerie, made from semi-sheer black floral lace, layered over fine organza. It’s pure class.

Katie says:

Our Spring/Summer 2011 collection has just been launched. We hope you like ‘Vicky’ a romantic range in sheer pink and black lace as much as we do!

Oh, I do! I do!

What inspired Katie’s new design? The What Katie Did boutique manageress Vicky!

The New What Katie Did Vicky Bra

bernie dexter models the new what katie did vicky bra spring summer 2011

This new deliciously sheer balcony bra means business! Just like its raven-haired namesake, it’s strikingly beautiful, with just a hint of darker mystery!

Created from an intricately patterned, black floral lace, layered over delicate organza, Vicky is trimmed with pale pink satin ribbon along the tops of the bra cups. The design is a slightly new take on What Katie Did’s classic balconette, with underwiring and strategic seaming across the cups, to lift, support and separate the breasts for a truly alluring décolletage.

The New What Katie Did Vicky Panty

This panty knicker is a tantalising, semi-sheer version of What Katie Did’s bikini-style knickers, a cut that’s popular with Sixties fans as well as those retro girls who have an aversion to high cut granny panties!

what_katie_did_vicky_knickers panties bernie dexter new

These Vicky knickers are made from stretchy powermesh that gives light shaping at the sides and back, and a high cut that flatters and elongates your legs. The tummy panel is fashioned from non-stretch, black floral lace, layered over organza and trimmed with pink satin ribbon down the sides, with a cheeky strip right in the middle! This shallower style of knickers is just the thing for wearing under lower-cut skirts and trousers.

The New What Katie Did Vicky Suspender/Garter Belt – My Favorite Piece!

Could there be a more elegant a way to keep your stockings in place?

what katie did vicky vickie garter belt bernie dexter new spring summer collection

Named after their London boutique manager and all-round vintage vixen, Vicky, this enticing little number is made from panels of saucy, semi-sheer black lace and organza, with an intricate floral pattern.

Each panel is trimmed with delicate ribbon, and the non-stretch construction means it’s lightly shaping across the tummy and thighs; and highly flattering on a range of shapes and sizes. It’s finished with a hint of powermesh at the back, for a perfect fit, and features six of What Katie Did infallible, metal suspender clips. I dare you to resist this new garter belt!

By the way, ladies, that’s not all! There’s more at the website! A new swimwear collection and satin shapewear collection! Check it out and tell me what you think.

Steal It! Marilyn Monroe’s Nylon Bodystocking from Let’s Make Love

Vintage Inspired Lingerie

Feb 092011

Marilyn Monroe’s nylon bodystocking in the 1960′s movie Let’s Make Love is perfect for doing a little burlesque striptease for your man this Valentine’s Day!

marilyn-monroe-black-catsuit-pole

I’d been looking for a nylon catsuit for a long time now, to emulate Marilyn Monroe’s song and dance in the 1960 movie Let’s Make Love. The nylon catsuit had to have a cuban heel, be made out of nylon, be sheer and not totally opaque and could not be made of fishnet or be crotchless! I finally found a few sultry looking numbers.

Madame Butterfly Bodystocking, inspired by Olivia

Inspired by the painting Madame Butterfly by the erotic pinup artist Olivia de Berardinis

Pin It

, this fantasy outfit is now a reality. It is an eye-catching sheer bodystocking with cuban heel backseam. Matching gloves and butterfly sleeve wrap included.

The only problem is not everyone fits a one size! Don’t worry plus size ladies, Hips and Curves to the rescue!

Spaghetti Strap Opaque Bodystocking

nylon plus size bodystocking crotchless black

This opaque spaghetti strap bodystocking is curve-hugging and sexy yet leaves a hint of mystery. Remember Diana Rigg in The Avengers? Her catsuit wasn’t crotchless like this one, but imagine the fun she could have had if it was! This style will best fit from 5′ – 5′ 11″ up to 2X or 220 lbs.

I want to put on a song and dance of my own in one of these! I love that they’re classy and not so in-your-face trashy like a lot of the body stockings out there. (I guess it’s 1960′s stripper wear?) The fact that these nylon catsuits are not completely sheer yet not opaque leave just enough to the imagination. The cuban heel detail make me swoon!

Steal It! Jean Harlow’s Sultry Chic 1930s Vintage Lingerie Style

Vintage Inspired Lingerie

Jan 152011

“Underwear makes me uncomfortable and besides my parts have to breathe.” – Jean Harlow

Jean Harlow Vintage Posters Prints

Jean loved materials like satin and silk which clung to her figure in all the right places then floated and just slinked over the rest.

It’s quite a well known fact that Jean often refused to wear underwear. Her wedding photos to Paul Bern even had to be retouched by the censors as the bright sunlight, flimsy white fabric and lack of under garments caused quite an alarming effect.

Jean Harlow Style Achievements

*Jean was the original Blonde Bombshell – her appearance in the 1933 movie Bombshell

started the phrase.

*Was the idol of women all over America in the 1930s and was also an inspiration to Marilyn Monroe.

*Jean cut the ribbon for the “Blondes Only” room when Max Factor held the grand opening for his Hollywood salon in 1935.

Trademark

*Jean Harlow’s fashion trademarks included slinky silk dresses and pale colors.

Favored Colours

*White, Champagne and very dusky shades of pink and blue. Sometimes black but Jean didn’t wear dark colors very often as white worked with her pale skin and hair giving her a totally luminous look.
