Today’s lingerie designers are creating adaptable items that can be worn as fashion accessories that add sparkle to your personality. For example, wearing the Hollywood glamour of a silk embroidered corset with the modern look of a pair of curve-defining leather jeans, you are bound to be treated as a celebrity everywhere you go.

Embroidery is very popular among young women underwear. Materials for exclusive female lingerie used include silk, lace, satin, lycra-net Chiffon and they are often adorned with delicate embroidery or the addition of rhinestones or a brooch or even a string of pearls. Even in lingerie history there is a place for embroidered underwear.

For instance, the camisole, originally derived from a decorative waist-length garment with an embroidered front and shoulder bands that were worn over the corset for warmth and modesty, became a essential piece of lingerie, later transforming into an item of outerwear by the 1970s.

Designers focusing on embroidered lingerie fashion feel that these are not just meant to make the undergarment look pretty, but in case of women, they act as more seductive elements too.

For example, when women walk in a party with a slightly transparent dress that shows their embroidered panties or embroidered bras, they surely make a lot of heads turn – especially those
of men.

When it comes to being original then no one does it better than Maya Hansen. If you are a lover of corsets or are considering investing in one then make sure you check out Maya first. She takes the concept of corsetry which is of course sexiness and allure, she then raises it to a new level with new fantastic idea that just blow the roof of any party.

Her corsets have been spotted on the red carpet being worn by numerous celebrities and considering she has only been going as a corset maker since 2006 it is obvious that she has put in a lot of time and dedication to get where she is today. She has her own online boutique but is also available internationally in the UK,  Switzerland, Spain, France and of course the USA.

Having a look at her 2010 collection will definitely get your heart races.  It is full of unique designs that scream every color possible. One of my favorites  has to be the Couture lace and Ivory Helena which could actually be worn as a bridal corset as well. The detailed embroidery and fastenings down the front are what make this corset so original. Don’t forget to also check out the under bust milkshake corset which has been teamed with a  halterneck making it perfect for outer wear as well as under wear. Well done Maya and I wish you all the success in the world.

One lingerie designer that you must take notice of is Cotton Club. They are known in the trade for their strong love of lingerie and it reflects in the quality and designs of their products. Satin chemises and baby dolls are their trademark and has earned them a spot in the top five list of Italian designers. Cotton Club

If you really want to get excited then they have just released details of their 2010 Spring / summer collection. Check out the Betty Boop brand for sexy enticing lingerie. The aim of Cotton Club for this collection was to create a mischievous look whilst at the same time looking sensual.

Cotton Club are also very well known for their push up bras which really do give cleavages that are to die for, however do be sure to have a full look through their old and new collections as I am quite sure you will be pleasantly surprised and immediately getting your credit cards out.

In a circus themed fashion show Triumph unveiled their Autumn/ winter lingerie collection to the Indian public and famous Bollywood stars. It has received overwhelming praise from all directions. Personally myself I felt it was a great let down and I could of done better in my back yard.

You may well say it is the lingerie products that count and not the show, which then leads me onto the lack of originality in the designs, the tackiness and the poor quality that is so evident in the lingerie pictures. Some of the models looked like they had been dragged out of bed, poorly used props were then thrust upon them and they looked so uncomfortable with the image that they were trying to portray.

Now call me a snob if you wish but when watching a show like Victoria’s secret the models make me want to immediately rush out and buy up the whole lingerie collection. The models look like they beleive in the quality and message of the lingerie that they are wearing. They excel the lingerie in a sexy way that no one can match. Whilst you all can rave about Triumph I personally myself will be sticking to admiring other lingerie designers as they seem to at least be interested in what they do.

We are constantly surprised at the sensual  lingerie that John Galliano manages to design and produce. Lingerie is just one of his many collections and the sneak previews of his Spring 2010 sensual lingerie collection shows that he has pulled it off again.

The designer has won designer of the year three times, in 1987, 1994 and 1995. In 1997 he shared the award with Alexander McQueen, of course this was for his overall contribution towards fashion however we can see that he puts the same amount of effort into his sensual  lingerie collections as he does his other ranges.

The Spring Lingerie collection for 2010 from John Galliano is a mixture of pale blues, pinks and creme teamed with old fashioned lace to product striking garmets. His inspiration for his sensual lingerie work he says is “the aim to seduce” and we can see this in every lingerie collection that John brings out. Well done John and keep them coming.

I must of been living in a cocoon for the last decade. I have only just discovered Shirley of Hollywood and can not believe their current collection of sexy lingerie. my favourites are the basques. They are original, eye catching and just screams sexiness.

The only thing that I have to however is find a stockist  near me. They do not sell direct to the public and every contact they have on their website is at least 10,000 miles away from me. So annoying as I am that overwhelmed by their products I could spend the limit on my credit card now. God I feel like screaming, anyone that knows me will tell you that when I want something, I want it now.

If you have not seen the sexy lingerie coming out of Shirley for Hollywood then take a gander at the following sexy corsets and then tell me that you don’t feel the same.

French lingerie all under one roof comes to us in a website called “Luxury French Lingerie.”  Sometimes when I am not in the mood for surfing the net or trailing from store to store then I love to have everything in one place so I can shop at my own pace. Luxury French Lingerie has  designer’s collection on one website that makes for easy shopping.  They also have a special section to guide men on what to buy for their wives,  gift vouchers are available as it is luxury wrapping.  I think this is one website to accidentally leave open if you want a nice Christmas present!

I love this collection displayed on their website. The Rosa Kasiopea bra, briefs, suspender belt, choker and thongs. Ideal for everyday wear or even on your wedding day.

Romantic lingerie accounts for about 50% of lingerie purchases both in high street stores and on the internet. Both men and women buy romantic lingerie however there is a fine line between romantic lingerie and lingerie that screams lust. There are some very simple ways to distinguish the two and they are  style, colour and material.

Looking at style first, then the best tip to help you when you are looking for romantic lingerie is at the same time look for elegant lingerie. Elegant lingerie means no holes where they are not needed, no chains, no studs and no zips. All these styles are  for  racy, lustful  lingerie. I am sure you know this already but just to clarify as well. No teddy  bears or large flowers either, these are known as comfort pyjamas and suit a ten-year old child more. Just remember elegant lingerie means simple.

Colour is a very important thing to remember as it is  known to send a message to our brains and have an effect on our moods and reactions.  Romantic lingerie should be  various tones of red, pink, purple or  blue.  Of course the most romantic colour is red,  think of 12 red roses, love hearts  and valentines day. Two colours definitely not suited to romantic lingerie is green and greys. Green signifies mothering, grey is dull and provokes no reaction at all.

Material is perhaps the biggest decider.  PVC, leather, cotton are all a definite no no  when it comes to Elegant lingerie. Silk however screams romance  and it is definitely a winner. If you like lace then more importantly apply the first two rules of style and colour first.

I hope these top tips help you, the market on romantic lingerie is so big that you can have a field day choosing. Just be sure to follow the rules above and you will find yourself looking elegant and romantic for the special man in your life.
