January Lingerie Review

Lingerie, we all wear it whether it is our day to day comfies that stretch from our knees to our armpits or those certain sets that send the menfolk wild. I am a lover of all lingerie but especially beautiful garments that I can wear in photo shoots. There are several retro lingerie companies around the world but the USA boasts one that puts the cherry on the cake. Unbelievably I have had the pleasure to review them and boy, it sure is a pleasure!

After receiving a large box in the post I eagerly opened it up to be greeted with tons of neatly wrapped items. I carefully put them into several piles: Pink, Blue, Leopard Print, Night Gowns, Pyjamas and Stockings. As I opened up the first garment that caught my eye I read the beautiful label "Secrets in Lace". Surprisingly, as it is the most covered, the Tailored Bettie Pyjamas was my first choice. I opened them up expecting some good quality nightwear but was surprised to find the quality unquestionable. It by far surpassed my expectation for something I would lounge around the house in. From the actual print of the material, I'm quite fussy with my leopard print, to the silky smooth 100% nylon fabric they had used. I am now pleased to find that I can be a bombshell around my home without having to wear my stockings and suspenders at all times, although, with the other items I received from Secrets in Lace I think I will have to wear several sets all at once AND the pyjamas on top!

My favourite colour has got to be Blue so choosing the Bettie Blue Collection was a no brainer. The garments are beautifully made from soft charmeause with a little bit of stretch and adored with beautiful lace. For this photo I teamed it up with the Bettie Blue Plunge Bra and Bettie Blue Full Cut Panty. The Plunge Bra actually has a sheer panel that folds up for added coverage if needed, I have shot it with it down as I felt it brought a playful feel to the photo and the shape that both the Plunge Bra and Panty gave me was amazing, even if I do say so myself. 

I’ll keep this one brief, see what I did there? All of the briefs have a similar shape to them. The actual cut of the brief is unlike anything I have shot in underwear wise. The majority of high waisted briefs seem to be control ones nowadays, well these certainly brought the sexy back. Think high waisted bloomers with a fitted bottom to hug your butt and give you a peachy shape, every girl needs a pair of these in her drawers!

For this shot I wore the Bettie Pink Bullet Bra, Lace Applique Full Brief and Bettie Pink Beaded Waist Cincher teamed up with some equisite Bettie Page Glamour Heel Nylon Stockings. I adored the whole outfit but the girdle, I have never seen anything like it! Lightly boned and with a slight pinch on the waist to really emphasise your curves, it really enhanced my hourglass shape. The Bullet Bra itself was a little large on the back for me, however, once I placed in the padded cones it fitted like a dream and gave an amazing point to my bust, so much that I even wore it underneath a jumper for my Christmas pictures.

Back to the Leopard Print, I have always been a fan but I am such a fusspot, as mentioned above, when it comes to the pattern of the actual animal print. With the Bettie Leopard Collection I wouldn't change a thing. In the photos I am wearing the Bettie Red Leopard Plunge (with the sheer coverage panel down) and the Bettie Leopard Panty in both, then the Bettie Ruffle Leopard Garter to hold up the Bettie Page Glamour Heel Nylon Stockings. Personally I dislike wearing bras day to day but the Bettie Plunge Bra has changed my feelings on this, I think I may need several of them so I can wear it 24/7!

Finally we come to the last photo from this part of the review and I am really quite excited by this one. I am wearing the Ostrisch Trimmed Chiffon Robe. You can see by the photo that is has made me feel every inch the glamourous minx that it is intended too. The feel of the robe is beautiful against your skin and I was extremly impressed that the Ostrisch Trim is removable for cleaning, they really do think of everything at Secrets in Lace. I have worn many lingerie garments in my time but I can honestly say that Secrets in Lace will be my number one go to brand for Photoshoots and day to day lingerie.
