We all like to indulge ourselves from time to time and some of us are
lucky enough to have someone special who likes to take the time to
spoil us. One of the most indulgent things we can treat ourselves to is
obviously lingerie. No ordinary lingerie will do, though - as that
wouldn't be treating ourselves - it's got to be luxury lingerie. But what constitutes luxury lingerie? It takes three elements: the fit, the design and the material...
The Fit
It's all in the fit - or more specifically, the pursuit of the perfect
fit! There's nothing like being fitted for lingerie and getting sound
advice from the experts. When was the last time you got your bra fitted?
If it was over six months ago, you should make a trip to your lingerie
shop of choice. We don't stay the same size throughout our life (and
even throughout the month) so we must embrace this and be proactive. The
perfect fitting lingerie can take pounds off you and help you achieve
the outer confidence you perhaps previously lacked in certain outfits.
The Design
Whether the lingerie is designed for function or fashion, luxury
lingerie really does give that little bit extra. There are some amazing
cutting edge designs out there: you can get long-line bras, lingerie
with exquisite detailing and often unique elements which the high street
copy the following year with inferior results. If support is what you
what from your lingerie then you can often get it made-to-order to
achieve the perfect support. So many designers have branched into
lingerie design - but it's a highly skilled specialty and for the
lingerie to achieve comfort, fashion, style and functionality it takes
an experienced hand.
The Material
Silk, tulle, satin, chiffon and French lace... you will feel fabulous in
all of them. Chemises in silk and chiffon which follow the contours of
the body are a hard act to follow. Whether your style under your work
clothes is sexy seductress or simplistic, pretty innocence you can
choose the material which suits you. You can get corsets made from
replica antique French materials in rich, elegant, regal patterns and
satin and lace French knickers in every colour from show-stopping red to
sensual dusky pink. There's even a fantastic choice of cashmere and
angora wool lounge lingerie at the moment; these materials are so soft
to wear you'll find yourself demanding a whole lot more from the rest of
your wardrobe.
