It’s not just the prospect of wearing a bikini this summer that makes me realise I need an exercise regime, it’s that my previously very fit body is starting to seize up! Since regular gym visits are a rather too distant memory, I’m in desperate need for a new sports bra…

Freya Active

Most of us have heard of Freya: for those of you haven’t, it’s a pretty lingerie label specialising in larger cups and great fitting bras. With Freya Active now added to a large range of great fitting in-house labels, it’s a tempting prospect to try Freya’s sports bra. The black bra with lime piping is my favourite (with white and nude also available); at a pretty reasonable price of £26 and cup sizes up to an H cup, this could be a great choice for anyone who fancies a well-fitting bra with a great name in lingerie behind it!

Freya Active available at Figleaves UK, £26, and Figleaves US $44.55.

Shock Absorber

With a background in dance, I’m a bit of sucker for coloured active wear and I love the look of this pink bra! No longer having the svelte-with-small-boobs dancing body I’m happy to see that Shock Absorber cater well for D+ sizes. The brand is well-known for its awareness for good support, and offer a range of bras for low to high impact exercise. Should you for any reason still need to be convinced of how important wearing a bra is during exercise, Shock Absorber’s bounce-ometer is a great way to see what happens if you’re not wearing the right support!

Shock Absorber D+ Max Sports Bra is currently on sale at Sheactive, £13.50, who have a great range of sports bras.
Shock Absorber Level 4 Sports Bra (up to a HH cup) available at Figleaves US, $47.50, and Figleaves UK, £25.50.

Royce Sports Range

Royce are a wirefree zone; for those who think good support only comes from underwire bras, think again! Among other styles, Royce offer super support sports bras up to a J cup and promise that you’ll stay in place no matter what your activity. With prices around the same as the bras above, it’s really a matter of preference whether you go wirefree or not – personally I don’t care as long as I get the support!

Royce Impact Free Sportsbra available at Figleaves UK, £29.50, and Figleaves US, $50.

As far as my choice goes this time, I’ve gone for the pink Shock Absorber Max Impact - because of its promise of high impact support, the colour and the price. It’s on order right now and I’m looking forward to its arrival!

A good range of larger cup sports bras is also available at Bravissimo

Claudie Song’s Don Diego Bikini

We’re delighted to see Claudie Song‘s swimwear is now available at Nancy Meyer; the ‘couture’ swimwear is utterly stunning, and this Don Diego Bikini $360 , with its sparkling, silver rose detail has a unique elegance about it that is hard to keep your eyes off! If you want to gaze at more awe-inspiring creations, take a look at the Claudie Song website where Claudie has designed bathingsuit and dress ensembles fit for a ball room.

‘Precious Love’ by Guia La Bruna

We can’t help but fall in love with Guia La Bruna’s beautiful designs; perfectly Italian, her swimwear is as exquisite as her lingerie and we just can’t get enough of it! Guia’s current collection reminds us of girly, romantic flirting in warm sunshine, and with names like Dreamy Girl and Magic Swan, romance certainly seems to be high on the La Bruna agenda. Our favourite (if we have to choose!) is the Precious Love bikini, available at Guia La Bruna 114 Euros; with cute frills and beautifully printed fabric it is perfect for smaller busted ladies (though it does go up to an XL) who love a girly look.
For US readers, the Precious Love Bikini is available at Nancy Meyer $218

Freya’s ‘Vodkatini’ Bikini

Bigger busted women should not be disheartened by the many itsy bitsy bikinis on offer; there are plenty of bikinis out there to cater for larger cupped ladies. If you’re looking to shake your stuff without creating too much of a stir, this chic Bond-esque Freya Vodkatini bikini, available at Figleaves UK, and Figleaves US will keep you in place with the support you need and the style you want. The Vodkatini Bikini comes as seperates: Balconette Bikini Top $60/£32 ; Retro Brief $41/£18; the Balconette Bikini top for larger cups £32 is available up to a 38HH (UK only)

It might be snowing here now, but we know it’s going to be a scorcher this summer (yes, we know we say it every year); to make sure we’re well-equipped, we’re choosing our swimwear for this season, and for those who are lucky enough to live in warmer climes, go get it now!

Melissa Odabash: ‘Torino’ Swimsuit

Finding the right swimsuit is never easy; if you’re anything like we used to be, you’ll be familiar with the ‘that’ll do’ experience a day before you go on holiday. We’re delighted to say: ‘that’ll do’ is no longer in our vocabulary since we spotted Melissa Odabash’s swimwear; her beautifully classic designs mean you can invest in a swimsuit that won’t look out of date after just one season. Having modeled swimwear herself, Melissa knows all about the comfort issue when wearing a swimsuit, and uses fabrics that provide both comfort and support. If you like the look of this sexy ‘Torino’ swimsuit, available at Azaleas $145, check out the rest of the gorgeous collection at Melissa Odabash. For UK readers Melissa Odabash is available at Figleaves UK.

Letarte’s Plunge Swimsuit

Ok, so the name made us chuckle, but the swimsuit is seriously gorgeous! Letarte’s plunge swimsuit, available at Figleaves US $166 and Figleaves UK £87, is one hell of a sexy design, with a deep cut plunge neck, and a cute (in a grown-up way) seahorse charm, complementing the seahorse print. With its nautical colours, we’re thinking: Yachts, tans, and the occasional dip in the pool.

Haute Persuit Camilla Swimsuit by Miraclesuit

Having tried a Miracle Suit last year, Danae had lots of good things to say about it (even if her mom did faint at the price!). Another season on and we’re looking at Miraclesuit once again; this time it’s an elegant, ruched, bandeau affair with detachable straps for a bang up-to-date look; with the all important ‘sucking in’ Miratex fabric, and hidden underwiring, it will give you the confidence to swim and swan about in (though we’re not sure about fishing in this one, Danae!). We’re loving the look of this chic suit, which is available up to a size 16, the equivalent of a 40DD; if you’re above the indicated size, do stick to Danae’s advice and don’t try to squeeze the girls into it, they won’t like it! The Haute Persuit Camilla Bandeau Swimsuit is available from both Figleaves US $138 and Figleaves UK £135.

With Floral designs dominating this year’s Spring/Summer Collections, we’ve chosen three sets we think you’ll love!

We start with a designer close to home: Aye, it’s Ted Baker! Having started in Glasgow (an hour’s drive from Knickers HQ) in the late 1980′s with a men’s shirt shop, the brand has grown rapidly and is now internationally renowned with collections ranging from the original men’s wear to lingerie! We’re loving this gorgeous floral print Mauve bra £38; the elaborate print is quirky with the contemporary elegance synonymous with the Baker brand. Beautifully decorated with an unfussy lace trim around the cups, the padded satin bra is prettily seductive with subtle bows on the gorgeous floral straps. The cute matching shorties £20 are simply designed with a refined girliness that is just so sexy!

If you’re loving the floral idea, but want something a little more subtle, take a look at this beautiful Rosebud Bra set by Elegantly Scant £40. Enchantingly glamorous, this set follows the floral trend with a difference; subtly printed silk and contrasting black edging and straps, it is bang up to date and has a beautifully romantic look to it. The frill on the bra and ‘frilled’ briefs £30
add a stunning detail to an already alluringly beautiful, oh so pretty look we just adore!

Freshly picked from their new Spring/Summer Collection, this fantastically floral Maisie bra by Freya £29 is pushing all the right buttons for us! With a fun, retro, floral print combined with floral embroidered mesh topping the cups, Freya has gone floral-tastic, and we’re loving it! Delightful shorties £12 in semi sheer fabric with a hint of a frill add a little flirtiness to an adorable ‘every day’ set for larger cupped ladies.
For those in the US, the Maisie Bra $70 and matching Thong $21 are available at Bare Necessities.

Time is running out for last shipping days for Christmas, so we’re going to hurry up and finish out our Christmas Picks series with a big bang: here are our favourite lingerie picks for Christmas 2007, categorized from the Lingerie Virgin to the Vixen.

Virgin: Dessous by Sophie Simmons

For a woman who doesn’t want frills and doesn’t want too much fuss, the simple Dessous by Sophie Simmons is a lovely gift – luxurious, simple, and still guaranteed to make her feel amazing. You can get Dessous at Catriona MacKechnie

Cozy Cutie: Elizabeth Cotton

It’s been a while since we checked in on loungewear designer Elizabeth Cotton, and we’re loving all of her new lines – in addition to the original cropped-leg PJ’s, Elizabeth has full-length pajamas, nightshirts (pictured above), robes, and some adorable lounge shorts. All lines are available in printed Liberty cotton, sateen or flannel – perfect for any cozy cutie!

Other Cozy Cutie picks:

• Argentovivo Cashmere Pajamas (UK)

Athlete: Pure Lime

Scandinavian label Pure Lime takes workout wear to its bare basics – brilliant fabric, great support, and 100% comfort.

Other Athlete Picks:

Sophisticate: Christies Lingerie

Given its rather unassuming name, Christie’s is a little gem of refined, indulgent Italian lingerie. Definitely on the sultrier side of the Romantic spectrum, Christie’s perfectly captures that savage glamour and cold loveliness of any Sophisticate. The lingerie looks amazing on her, and the Sophisticate will look as if she couldn’t care a fig. Christies is available in Europe at Cazar and in the US at Nancy Meyer.

Other Sophisticate picks:

• Courtworth Lingerie (US)
• Cotton Club (UK)

Romantic: Sally Jones

The Romantic likes lace, soft colours, feminine shapes and gorgeous fabrics. To fit this bill, we went to Sally Jones lingerie, a Welsh designer living in Australia who has beautifully blended European glamour with Australian chic. Read our entire write-up of Sally Jones here.

Other Romantic picks:

• Julianne (some heavenly pieces this season, UK)
• Carine Gilson (US)

Flirt: Ravage

French label Ravage has been doing some gorgeous collections lately, and their whimsical retro-inspired “Free Collection” is perfectly suited to any Flirt. These frilly, lacy sets are positively Audrey Hepburn but still saucy enough to make her feel amazing. Also don’t miss the Diva collection (particularly the Gupiere) for Flirt-bordering-on-Vixen pieces. (all US, also available in Europe)

Other Flirt Picks:

• Mimi Holliday (UK), US stockist
