I've always been a massive fan of Nasty gal ever since i was introduced by following the beautiful fashion blogger, Kavita on www.shewearsfashion.com but i never realised how beautiful their lingerie was until i was browsing their website the other week.
It's impossible for me to hate any kind of black lingerie, so inevitably i wanted pretty much everything. Unfortunatley and surprisingly i couldn't really afford a basket of about £200.
One of my favourites is the smoke and mirrors bra, mainly because of the higher centre front making it rather different in shape to most bras. I also saw this layering style as a trend prediction on Stylesight in my last term of university and although Topshop made a few triangle bras in this style, it never really hit off as a trend. Personally i think this is a massive shame as it looks so different to your average non-padded bra. Aside from this, the back of the bra is also unique. Rather than the regular hook and eye back, they have used elastics to create a bit more detail to the back of the bra. And at £18 there really is nothing to complain about.
The skivvies bra is another that i know i'm going to be pining over for the next few weeks. It has the very popular triangular cup shape; however this one is very low cut, disallowing itself as a full cup bra. It cuts intentionally close to the nipple, which would be very flattering for those with smaller breasts and is beautifully decorated with embroidery all over the cup on a very transparent mesh backing fabric. The back of this bra again is very interesting with elasticated harness detail, however it does not have any hook and eye fastening. Therefore i would say that although this is not an issue, it is probably more suited to smaller cup sizes because it doesn't provide that extra support that you get with adjustable fastenings.
Finally, the most amazing robe that i have maybe ever seen; The Skivvies by For Love and Lemons Anastasia robe. The mesh and lace panels make it a statement piece, as well as the lace running at ankle length with slight dipped hem sides. This ribbon bound robe is definitely the show stopper out of all the Nasty gal Summer to Autumn transition pieces. Styled perfectly with the Skivvies mesh panel slip, it really is a difficult one to resist.
