Karen reviews: Lilah by La Lilouche

When a recent, summer party brought on a bra-fitting I discovered the host was not only wearing the wrong bra size, she had never owned luxury lingerie! Here she reviews a set by La Lilouche – so what did Karen think?

When Alison asked me to try the Lilah bra and knickers set from La Lilouche I was enthusiastic (she always has the most gorgeous underwear herself!) but I wasn’t prepared for just how lovely the set would be. But more than that – the effect was amazing. First of all, the all-important fit and comfort of the bra: faultless. It gives me a fantastic shape and just seems to have livened up my boobs, somehow – it’s as if they’ve been dozing for a while and have just been woken up by this fabulous bra (as opposed to the kiss of a handsome prince)! The soft satin ruched straps are broad enough to give supreme comfort and leave no mark when the bra’s removed, and the lace cups are lined so there’s no scratchy, itchy feel that some lace bras cause. It’s one of those bras that is so comfy that you forget you’re wearing it – until you catch a tantalising glimpse of the beautiful pink French lace. I am so taken with the look of the bra that I keep rushing off to the bathroom to whip up my blouse for another look. It’s just gorgeous. The Swarovski crystals on the darling little handmade bow at the front are a genius addition – this bra is meant to be seen, it’s a sin to cover it up!

The knickers, like the bra, are super comfy. But how can something so incredibly sexy also be so very, very comfortable and easy to wear? It’s the sheer softness of the lace and the beautiful satin low-slung waistband that sits everso lightly on your hips without digging in – so there’s no bulge over the top, no matter how fleshy you are in that area. There’s the cheekiest little peephole at the back, with, like the bra, an adorable little silk satin bow adorned with Swarovski crystals, and the bow is repeated at the front too so you look gorgeous, whichever way you turn!

This set has swiftly become such a favourite of mine that I’m in a huff when it’s in the wash. But already it’s shown that it’s just as gorgeous now, after multiple washes, as the first time I wore it.
