Christmas Party Lingerie
Christmas party season is upon us and while you have no doubt put an awful lot of thought into your party outfit, have you considered your lingerie requirements? Underwear and outerwear form a winning team as the right lingerie can make or break your party look. Whether you want your lingerie to be discreet or in the spotlight, shapewear to maximise your curves or straps for every neckline, we have put together a range of lingerie that will make the festive season go with a swing.
Discreet Lingerie
There is a lot of sheer and shiny going on with party fashion so the last thing you want is to show your lingerie’s seams and detailing through the fabric, which can spoil the lines of your outfit. These pieces offer smooth lines whilst still being really pretty.
Wacoal - Awareness - Seamless Bra
The Wacoal Awareness seamless bra is super-smooth yet features a pretty flower pattern in the fabric. It’s available in 4 colours so you should be able to match it to most outfits.
Fantasie - Zoe - Moulded Plunge Bra
The Fantasie Zoe bra has smooth moulded cups but the lace detail underneath adds interest without spoiling the seamless flow. Available in 4 colours, this bra is only £20 so a bargain as well.
Freya - Fearne - Brazilian Brief
The Freya Fearne brazilian briefs have detailing in the fabric without bulky seams and the sheer, high cut panels at the back would allow you to wear the tightest of trousers with no VPL! Also available in a short and matching bra
Fantasie - Allegra - Brief
The Fantasie Allegra brief is super-simple but has a subtle lace section at the front.
Show Off Lingerie
While some strive for smooth lines and discretion beneath sheer fabrics, others opt for a bolder look where their underwear is as much a part of the outfit as their outerwear! These pieces are worn to be seen:
Pour Moi - Viva - Longline Plunge Bra
The Pour Moi? Viva longline bra is simple enough not to steal your outerwear’s thunder but still has a hint of daring with its sheer panels. Available in 5 colours, match with your top or contrast for extra ‘wow’!
Scantilly by Curvy Kate - Voodoo - Plunge Bra
Just a slight hint of this Scantilly bra from Curvy Kate beneath even the plainest of tops would transform any outfit!
Freya - Wilder - Deco Moulded Plunge Bra
Make a statement with this Freya Wilder animal print bra. Available as a plunge bra or longline bustier.
Strap Options for any Outfit
Beautiful dresses and tops often come with spaghetti straps, single shoulder straps or even no straps at all and you don’t want to clutter that look with visible bra straps. These multiway bras offer a range of alternative straps to complement whatever your style.
Elomi - Maria - Strapless Multiway Bra
Many with larger breasts worry that strapless bras won’t offer the support they need but that’s not true of the Elomi Maria bra. This is due to its extra firm one way stretch ‘leno back fabric for maximum anchorage and support.
Curvy Kate - Luxe - Strapless Multiway Bra
The Curvy Kate Luxe multiway bra can be worn with regular straps, halter neck straps or no straps at all plus the smooth fabric won’t give you any unsightly lines.
Wonderbra - Ultimate Plunge
The Wonderbra Ultimate Plunge bra can be worn with even the most daring of plunging necklines!
Shapewear
We think all women should embrace their curves but sometimes those curves just need a little encouragement to stay in the right places! Shapewear will accentuate your shape and allow your clothes to hang just as they were designed to do.
Elomi - Maria - Basque
Thought shapewear had to be utilitarian? Not with the seductive Elomi Maria basque it doesn’t! This stunning basque is also available in Cream, perfect for Bridalwear!
Spanx - Shape My Day - Open Bust Full Slip
The brand best associated with shapewear, Spanx, offers this Shape My Day open bust full slip that will smooth your curves from your bust to mid thigh. Designed to be worn with your own bra, this is fantastic for wearing under slinky dresses.
