Knickers Bargains Giveaway Reminder

Enter for your chance to win a gift tin of 3 Hanky Panky thongs . All you have to do is leave a comment with a site and/or shop where you’ve found your best lingerie bargains. The contest is open to all Knickers subscribers and closes on Friday, October 1st., 2010.

As the weather starts to cool down, sadly so do the sales.  So for the next couple of weeks; until the pre-holiday sale season starts (I know, it’s crazy,  in a few weeks we’ll start talking about the holidays…where does the time go?), Bargain Wednesdays will be a mix of product reviews, news, rants and musing mostly about lingerie, but can, and probably will include make-up, beauty products, cooking…the holidays remember and whatever is bugging me at the moment.  But first…

News Briefs

Illamasqua, my new favorite make-up line and whose tagline is: Make-up for your alter ego, is having a fundraiser for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation which was created to reinforce the message; Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere (S.O.P.H.I.E).  You can help by simply watching the film & spreading the word or buying a S.O.P.H.I.E. eyeliner or wristband with proceeds going to the foundation or make a direct donation.

Petite D+ ladies Becheeky has heard your cries and has answered with some beautiful bras from 2wenty8 with, you guessed it,  bands starting at 28″ backs.   Prices start at only $45.

I just stumbled across the most darling hosiery from U.K. site Last online. They specialize in art and design led shoes and hosiery offering quality products from independent designers (including the to die for Funn and Japan’s Antipast)  that are not stocked anywhere else, providing an alternative to run of the mill brand names.  Because of this they rarely, if ever, have sales on hosiery.  Why mention it then?  Because when I find something that’s worth paying full price for, it’s news.

Bees In My Bonnet

Lately I’ve encountered a lot of interesting opinions on lingerie, luxury lingerie in particular and it’s been as fascinating as it’s been infuriating (one post still clung to the old Color Me Beautiful chart where 75% of all women should wear only four colors of lingerie…Yikes!)  But what I’ve really been struggling with lately is the “Lingerie Attitude”.  Lingerie, like art, is so subjective that trying to decide the value based on the raw material makes no sense.  A canvas, a couple of tubes of oil paint and my puppy and you’ve got quite a mess, the same scenario with Jackson Pollack and you’ve got a masterpiece.  Designer lingerie cost money not based on the raw material but everything that goes into producing it and getting it to market.   I am not a rich woman but I will pay, gladly, for quality and the beauty of lingerie is you can buy last season (on Sale) and nobody will know, unless your S.O. is like “Oh no you didn’t! That Myla London set is so 2008″  and if that’s the case you have a problem far greater than what you are wearing.

Lingerie, for most of us, isn’t going to make you rich,  put food on the table or help the disadvantaged.  It is foolish, frivolous and self-indulgent, it’s also beautiful, fun and a wonderful treat.  So feel free to either stick to the utilitarian notion that it’s there to serve a purpose and no more (work or sex) or you can and have some indulgent fun and wear what makes you look and feel good.  The choice is yours but if you can’t see it in person make sure you know the return policy.

Journelle’s Semi-Annual Sale Ends Soon

These are the last few days of the Journelle Semi-Annual Sale and as such they have taken additional markdowns -lots of items are 70% off, including the Wundervoll silk Kente String (shown) rrp. $110, now $33 and this coveted and very daring Bordelle satin thong with harness rrp. $126, now only $39.  You’ll also find The Lake & Stars, Araks, Damaris and so much more at 70% off!  Spend $100 or more and get Free Shipping -within the U.S. too.  Hurry stock is selling fast.

Feeling left out is no good for anyone. We often find when we write an article about large bra sizes, we get emails from those who have problems finding a bra to fit their more petite proportions. One of the reasons why we promote labels and designers who concentrate on large sizes, is because up until only a few years ago, ladies with large boobs didn’t get a look in when it came to pretty bras. Added to that, the Knickers girls are now all above a DD cup!

Trying to find beautiful bras large or small, outside what is the perceived norm, is not easy; and those who think smaller cupped ladies are quids in when it comes to finding their perfect bra, probably need to think again. A petite frame with small girls can be as much of a ‘problem’ as someone with a large frame and big girls.

Smaller Cup Bras

As someone who used to be somewhere in the region of a AA cup and a 28 back, I found it virtually impossible to get a bra that fit me and didn’t feel like someone had attached part of a mattress to my chest. Yes, I occasionally felt like I wanted to oomph the girls up a bit, but for every day wear, I wanted something that didn’t promise I would have a better life if my boobs were pushed up within an inch of their tiny lives.

Ok, so petite ladies with petite girls don’t need as much support in the boob department, but by no means does that excuse tacky designs and unpleasant padding. Bras that are designed to fit and look good are what we look for, no matter what the size!

Luckily there are various options for those with smaller cup requirements; it’s just a matter of preference.

Choose your favourite

If you can’t live without underwire, take a look at Lulalu (top images); they have a great range of A and AA cup bras – whether you’re looking for an everyday T-shirt bra or something more special. Check out their red satin bra, which is perfect if you like elegance without the Schnickschnack, as they say in German. The online store, Eve’s Apples (yes, we had a little giggle) is also worth looking at: we like The Little Lingerie Company’s plunge bra – yes, it’s padded and yes, it is lacey, but it’s not over the top!

Those blessed with smaller proportions can also wear underwire or non-underwired bras and bralets; these are usually sized small, medium and large and come in a large variety of fabrics and designs. They’re delightfully comfortable to wear day-to-day and the great thing about these is that there are so many different designs on offer. One of our favourites is Lailides (above), a brand that concentrates on the smaller cupped lady without compromising on style or fit. We also love that they make bras suitable for all sized bodies and that they are “on a mission to make the difficulty of shopping for small size bras a thing of the past.” What more could we ask for!

There’s always room for a treat!

Whatever your size, there’s nothing better than treating yourself to something special and if you fancy delicate silk and vintage lace, Ayten Gasson’s designs at La Magia are perfect. Go for a bralet or a more structured bra and you’ll fall in love the moment you touch it! You can also find stunning unstructured bras in smaller sizes at Catriona Mackechnie, who stock luxury labels like the amazing Bordelle and the fabulously flirty Gonzalez.

Vintage Style Designer Swimwear on a Budget

Inspired by Danae’s retro swimwear post I did a quick search to see if we could save a little money and here are some of the deals I’ve found.   First I love the Jantzen 1900-1920 cape/skirt on sale at SwimOutlet (and free shipping within the US for purchases of $75 or more) for $77, rrp. $110.  Then there is the Myla Molly swimsuit for only $84 (available in small & large) rrp. $280.  SwimOutlet also has the Jantzen Curvallure, mentioned in Danae’s post, for $100 (it’s a minor discount but every little bit helps).  Not show is the very cute, yet supportive Triumph Doreen swimsuit at Figleaves now $45 (50% off ).  And last but not least and technically not on sale is the must have Esther Williams inspired bathing beauty Floral Swim Cap for $26.  This cap demands attention as you take off your cape and kick off your heels for that perfect dive into a crystal blue pool.

Lula Lu’s Petites Range

Smaller-cup specialist Lula Lu have always been known for their excellent selection of petite bras, and now they have a line of their own. Bored of the plain-jane smaller cup designs, their “Petities” line boasts bright colours, intricate embroidery, stunning bustiers and some lovely bra sets. The “Desiree” set (pictured above, $82) is our favourite, but if you’re looking for something more summery, have a look at the adorable pink and white polka-dot “Kaylen” ($76). Their signature range is relatively small, but has great variety and is a must-see for anyone in the AAA to A range. You can browse all of the Lula Lu’s range here.

The Little Bra Company’s “Lucia”

A good cleavage bra is often the holy grail for smaller cup sizes — it’s valuable, yet almost impossible to find. The Little Bra Company’s “Lucia,” however, might be just the bra you’ve been questing for! It’s available in cup sizes A-B, comes in a wide range of colours, looks gorgeous, and creates some stunning cleavage. The straps are also convertible, so you can turn “Lucia” into a halterneck or racerback to suit your favourite little black dress. The bra is $58 at the designer’s site, and you’ll find a few more gorgeous lacy bras from The Little Bra Company as well.

UK Stores for smaller cup sizes

UK Readers, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten you! Here are two online speciality stores for smaller cup sizes:

• Dainty Lady – a great label for UK customers, designed by women who worked at M&S. Currently running a 20% off promotion!
• Little Women – another UK store with a good selection of smaller cup brands

The Queen of Hearts, of course – or did she just bake them?
