Gown to nightie
Would you cut up your wedding dress? A Mexican lingerie company
invited women to do just that. In a commercial aired on Mexican TV, five women
discussed how the fun had gone out of their marriages, and the passion had
slipped away from their bedroom lives. Then they were asked to bring out their
wedding gowns which designers cut up in front of them!
The idea was to turn their once-in-a-lifetime gowns into sexy
underwear … in one case a shortie nightie but in the other four, a bra
and knickers set. Then the women disappeared to put on their new lingerie and
the camera recorded their responses, and the responses of their husbands, when
they emerged in their new undies.
Well … we think that’s a bit extreme,
personally. A wedding dress is not just about intimacy - it’s
a garment worn on a public occasion, it’s a record of a very special day and,
for many women, it’s an heirloom that they set aside in
the hope that a daughter or granddaughter might one day want to wear it, or at
least, adapt it for their own special day.
Goose feathers to lingerie
La Perla’s evolution from mid-range underwear
to haute couture continues. Their latest show in Paris included a goose-feather
bra and sleeveless hoodie - and the bra alone retails at just over £1,500!
To be fair, each single feather is hand-coloured and hand sewn
into place on a brassiere that is constructed to the buyer’s
exact measurements. The work is done at La Perla’s Bologna factory
by trained seamstresses who specialise in lingerie construction. Oh, and if you
want to hoodie too, that’s a further £8,000 thank you
very much!
So we decided we’d combine this week’s
top lingerie stories with a suggestion of our own. If the life has gone out of
your relationship, there’s no need to cut up your wedding
dress. If you fancy some feathers in your lingerie drawer, there’s
no need to fork out £1,500. Let www.lingerie.co.uk
bring these two concerns together in the BijouxIndiscrets sexy set: leather nipple pasties, a pearl waistband, a
sensual candle and a feather boa … just the thing to re-ignite your
bedroom life, and at a considerably cheaper price! And we aim to send out your
order the following day, no hanging around for seamstresses to hand sew each
feather …
