Congratulations, all of you - and we'll see you at Earls Court.

This week, we thought we’d take you all down south for Thong Thursday.  We realize that for many, the thought of a “Thong Thursday” in the south involves hanging a camoflauge thong out the top of cutoff jean shorts and dancing on the tables at the local Mugs n Jugs.  While we won’t argue the difficulty of finding such an event on any given Thursday in our own hometown, we thought we’d go with a more traditional southern look this week.

Composed of 100% woven cotton, the Simply Sweet thong from Blush is a skimpier, sexier take on the underwear of the deep south at the turn of the century.  The ruffled lace trim along the waist and hips is the kind of detail that would have been found on the undergarments of the period, only now they’re fun sized!  The floral embroidery completes the look with its eyelet details.  The rear of the thong is sheer mesh with a pointelle design.

Brew up some iced tea and have a seat on your porch swing in your Simply Sweet Thong.  We’re sure the neighbors won’t mind…Or, you can just keep your little bit of the south to yourself.  Either way, have a happy Thong Thursday.

Yes it's this time of year that we all love when the Agent Provocateur's annual sale begins. As of today, the race begins. On the AP website, you'll find lingerie and swimwear at up to 50% off... How can it not be a great day. Follow the link : Agent Provocateur's Annual Sale

Last year, Agent Provocateur released the Season of the Witch collection, which included Iona, the leopard-print bodysuit. The bodysuit was popular at the time but is still making press months later. It seems to be quite a favorite of fashion spreads and celebrity outings!

First, we saw it on Daisy Lowe. She wore it on the runway and in the product photoshoot, and was also spotted wearing it to a Henry Holland party in September 2008:

That November, Lily Allen covered up a bit more with denim shorts:

Scarlett Johannson wore it in an Allure photoshoot for the December 2008 issue:

In the same month, Heidi Klum wore it as part of her GQ Italy shoot (cheating on Victoria’s Secret!):

Arena dressed Freida Pinto in the bodysuit for their February 2009 issue:

In March, Christina Aguilera was brave enough to wear this skimpy number as an outfit to Perez Hilton’s birthday party:

Most recently, Katy Perry was featured in Esquire’s May 2009 issue:

It’s steamy, there’s no doubt about that, but I’m surprised so many magazines chose to dress their models in the same way. If you’ve seen it on anyone else, let us know! Of the ladies pictured above, who do you think wears it the best?

StockingsHQ is updating their website and they need a new logo! So they’re turning to you, lingerie lovers and customers, to help them design it. Here’s their current logo:

Think you can do better? StockingsHQ’s recent email newsletter included these contest details:

It’s going to be the biggest change to the site since it began nearly a decade ago, and will be right at the cutting edge of Web 2.0 technology (which means lots of interactivity all your social networking malarkey) and more.

So, a thought occurred… why not open up the design process and have a logo competition. The rules are simple:

1. You can invent/create/design a new logo (and possibly slogan) for Stockings HQ using any font, colour scheme and design elements you like. It can be just a logo or a whole design treatment for the front page of the site. It has to be done on a computer but you can use any software you like.

2. All you have to do is email a JPEG or GIF to me (david@stockingshq.com) by the closing date of July 18th.

3. I’ll post the entries to a page on the site and work out some way of letting people vote on them.

4. The person who submits the winner (chosen by a combination of visitor votes and an editorial judging process) will get £100 to spend in the Stockings HQ shop.

5. We can’t guarantee to actually use it on the site (I haven’t seen any of the entries yet, so that would be a bit too much of a gamble!) but if it’s absolutely spot on, and you give us permission, it could well become the new official design for the site.

6. I’m sure I’ve missed something important, as it’s late at night and I’m sleep deprived, so I reserve the right to publish a more comprehensive set of rules on the site in due course.

7. And that’s it! Time to get creative…

If you have what it takes, head over to StockingsHQ.com to get a feel for the site. If you enter, be sure to let us all know in the forum so the TLP community can vote for your design!

Launched in 2009, Jenna Leigh, the eponymous lingerie and intimates brand designed by Jenna Leigh, laces perfect, precise fit with high-fashion attitude, satisfying both daily indulgence and special occasion looks for the girl who doesn’t want to keep her lingerie under wraps.

Fans of look-at-me underwear can rejoice - the visi-bra is back, and fashion network FabSugar approves. Rihanna was working the look recently and she got it just right. The trick? It's all about contrast, apparently: ie. make sure you pair a bright bra with a loose top, like Rihanna's billowing white shirt.

Fancy giving it a go? Below, three zingy bras to try, from Cleo by Panache, Calvin Klein and Pour Moi?

Since the debut of his collection in 2004 and his subsequent bridal premiere in 2009, Gilles Montezin has been constructing dreams with unparalleled quality. His designs echo the greatest minds in Parisian tailoring and the techniques of old-world couture.

Wedding Day Dreams are Now a Cinch!

Gilles began his design career at Paris’s legendary L’ecole de la Haute Couture. After a long stint in Paris, he moved to New York to establish a collection grounded in his roots of couture construction. Having built countless bustiers and corsets as a costume designer at The Opera Bastille in Paris, Montezin discovered new boning and bodice construction methods.

Coined by the designer himself “Le Cinch™” is a collection of waist-slimming bridal gowns with built-in corsetry. The dresses are less confining that a traditional corset, and achieve an hourglass silhouette comfortably. The slenderizing Le Cinch™ offers a bride an immediate reduction of 2-4 inches from her waist.

Montezin’s collection has been picked up by select department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Kleinfeld, and has caught the eyes of stylists and celebrities across the world. Most recently his work was featured in ELLE Sweden, Women’s Wear Daily, and on Sarah Jessica Parker in the film Sex and the City.

“I’m looking to make women’s dreams reality; I’m looking to make women feel and look amazing!” Montezin says.

The collection is available in sizes up to 18W. Larger sizes are available via special order. Dresses range from $4,000 - $7,000 retail. To contact the Gilles Montezin showroom, please call 917-860-0877 or visit www.GillesMontezin.com.

Wedding Dress with Built-in Waist Cincher

Are you looking for a special something? Many people on the internet are looking for a specific style or brand of bra - and are ready to shop!

As a result, we have folks that find one of our pages - say, our page on the brand Lunaire - and then leave a comment asking us to contact them. The excited reader may even leave her bra size and color requirements, by way of an order - because, of course, our site has lots of information on a variety of bras, and we are knowledgeable about them. In some cases, we get a whole shopping list of items! However, a reader leaving us a comment like this won’t end up with an order.

Don’t get us wrong: we’d love to sell you your favorite lingerie item! Here’s how to buy a bra from us: click on our Bare Necessities logo (you’ll find it on the right hand side of each web page, below our link ads). Bare Necessities carries a wide range of brands, styles and sizes. You can search by your size, your preferred style or even a combination of the two. Bare Necessities even carry some of those unusual sizes that most department stores won’t have. In some cases, if you are looking for a discontinued style, you may find remaining stock at our retail partner too.

That simple click of the Bare Necessities logo will save you a lot of shopping list typing! (After all, if you’ve typed out all your requirements, hoping for a personal email from us, you’ve spent a heck of a lot more time than it takes to click on a logo and do a quick search.)

Are you ready to shop today? Here’s an interesting piece of news to think about: if you are expecting to be outside in a thunderstorm (as many golfers may accidentally be), consider buying a soft cup or other non-underwire bra. Apparently, your underwire bra can kill you.

If you are struck by lightening, you’ll be hit by anywhere from 100,000,000 volts to as much as 300,000,000 volts. An underwire bra - with a real metal underwire - helps to conduct electricity. Those underwires are implicated in the deaths of two women who were killed instantly near London, England when a lightening strike hit their underwired bras.

According to a recent article in the New York Times, sex toys are here to stay. For some of us, sex toys have been popular for quite some time, but the fact that they’re becoming mainstream is a good sign. It means that America’s starting to open up about its sexuality — finally!

In a recent survey of 2,056 women and 1,047 men (93 percent of which reported to be heterosexual), 53 percent of the women and almost half of the men reported having used a vibrator. And 81 percent of the women and 91 percent of the men reported having shared the vibrator with a sexual partner. Basically, what was once condemned as a sinful masturbatory toy has become a popular household item for all sexes involved. Although the baby boomer generation was the first to openly experiment with sex toys, newer generations have expanded the use of sex toys into something that’s widely accepted, even commonplace.

In fact, vibrator sales are up 20 percent from last year. One way companies reach their audience is by hiring women — just like representatives from Mary Kay or Arbonne — to host sex toy parties in America’s suburbs. Another way they gain customers is online. While Lingerie Diva offers lingerie and some fun accessories, I recommend checking out The Romantic Spark for some enjoyable sex toys, whether you’re a longtime fan or just now catching onto the trend! You can purchase the one above for only $16.75!

Kiss me Deadly’s Longline Vargas Girdle

Here at Knickers we’re big fans of shapewear; it gives us the confidence to wear a dress we might otherwise not wear, for fear of highlighting those lumps and bumps we would rather forget about. Much as we love shapewear however, it can often feel like it negates the sexiness of the rest of outfit we’ve made such an effort to choose. We realise of course that although we really shouldn’t look a gifthorse in the mouth, we would be eternally grateful if we could get the shape without feeling and looking like we’ve been strapped into a surgical bandage.

Discovering Kiss Me Deadly’s Vargas dress was delightfully useful with its pull-you-in body, built in bra, and retro-style suspenders, and now Kiss Me Deadly have introduced the longline Vargas Girdle. With the same sexy, retro look to it as the Vargas dress, the Vargas Girdle has a reinforced stomach panel that will give you the confidence to try on that dress you’ve been avoiding for so long. Not only do we love the look of this new addition, it’s good news for those DD+ cup ladies who have been longing for the opportunity to get in on the Vargas fun!

Our wish has been granted: Functional, sexy shapewear (at an affordable price)!

The Vargas Girdle is available from sizes S to XL from la Magia priced at £38 – shipping is free worldwide!

Elizabeth O’Brien is not one of the De Montfort University students taking a direct approach to becoming a lingerie designer. Elizabeth combined fashion design studies with a lot of self-teaching about lingerie and undergarments – resulting in a very personal and very passionate way of working with lingerie.

We had a sit-down with the aspiring lingerie designer and asked her some questions.

Elizabeth, how did you get involved with lingerie design?
I have always liked the structure and mystique of lingerie and after the first year of my BA (hons) Fashion Studies degree, I realised that underwear was where my passion and strengths were. I then started reading history and the changing meanings behind underwear and started to direct as many of my projects as possible in this direction. Most of my construction ability is self taught, through books, experimentation and logic.

What are your lingerie-related dreams?
I dream about providing women with the highest level of customer service, to develop a loyal and regular customer. Along with a product that gives the perfect fit and provides women with confidence. I also hope to become as ecologically sound as possible because in today’s climate I think it is important to consider your impact on the planet and the people within it.

How would you describe your work?
My work is very feminine and considerate of the senses. All the fabrics I chose are soft to touch and gentle on sensitive skin. Although most of the colours I use are pale, I also like bright and rich colours, so what I produce depends on concept and my mood. I love detail such as beads and fabric manipulation; this being a strong feature to my recent all white collection, where I used marble shibore and pleating as well as my beaded jewellery technique. I feel it is important for women to embrace their body and find confidence within it; I love curves and often try to enhance them within my designs. I try to design lingerie that is sexy in a feminine way.

Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully in five years I will be managing the design or buying sector of a company; I am highly organised so I have always felt my strengths would be in management, once I had established myself in the industry and was confident in making decisions for the brand. I have also always wanted my own stores where I could deliver a great and personal service to the consumer but I don’t foresee that happening for quite a long time.

One trend that is never, ever going to go away is the black lingerie trend.  There is something so daring, so sexy and so dark about owning and wearing black lingerie and that is exactly what ID Sarrieri has capture in his latest and greatest collection.  What many people do not know, is that black lingerie is actually the number one sold lingerie all over the world – women like to be a little mysterious and they definitely like their man to wonder about them a little bit.

That is one of the main reasons why black lingerie is so popular, however, adding in a little bit of color with the black is hot as well.  For example, red and black together is one lethal combination – also, pink and black together has become increasingly popular.  Two colors that I do not think are popular with black are green and blue – not sure why though.

So this season, take a look on the dark side and pick yourself up some ID Sarrieri lingerie in the black section!

Odille is a romantic, feminine and exlectic brand that offers unique, irresistable lingerie for any occasion. Designed to fit and feel as beautiful as it looks; using best quality fabrics and components. Precious laces, pretty trims, playful prints and vibrant colors are all combined to create this must have collection.

Purrfect Pineapples is a lingerie shop from Ontario, Canada.

Purrfect Pineapples has been owned and operated by fashion designer Erika Shuhendler since 2004. Cruelty-free means that everything we produce is sweat-shop and animal free. Most of our garments are hand silk-screened, and everything is professionally sewn and serged for a high-quality product. Our artistic influences range from tattoo imagery to Japanese street fashion and everything in between. Our products are hand-made and original. This means that while our garments may cost a bit more than your average mall item, you are paying for fair wages, quality and an original product.

The bras are all soft cup and generally look like some variation of the triangle bra. Black and purple dominate the colours being used through out the collection.

Knickers are between $32 and $55 US. There are bikini cut knickers (most near the $32) and “Ruffle Butt Panties” for $55. Below, are the hot pink and black silkscreened diamond ruffle-butt panties and the lilac mesh ruffle-butt panties. Both are $55 for S,M,L while XL or Custom is an additional $5.

Suspenders are also available. The “basic” comes in a dozen or more colour choices and just as many coloured bow choices to adorn the suspenders. Suspenders in M or L are $47 US and $5 more for XL or custom.

If there is one thing that I know about lingerie, it is that when you are looking at purchasing some Chanel lingerie – you are in for spending some serious money and you are going to get some of the best lingerie that money can buy.  Back in May (I know, I know … I’m late on this one!), Chanel graced the runway with their latest lingerie line for 2010 and it actually works extremely well I think.

The hi-waisted panties are something that are very in right now, I love the addition of the chunky jewelry, which for 2010 is very in season and I have to say that the sheer, long coat-thing is something that looks absolutely beautiful on this particular model.  Whether you are going to wear this behind closed doors or you want to wear it out with a bra … you can really do either one, as long as you cover up a bit with that coat!

Ladies, what do you think – would you purchase Chanel lingerie?  Especially after you found out the cost?  Let me know your thoughts!

We’ve been receiving tons of mail following our last few “swimwear Fridays”.  A bunch of ‘em have been like “Dude, what’s with all the bikinis?  This one comes from Sally in Athens, TN:

Dear Rachel and Jeff,

I absolutely love the swimwear you’ve been featuring on intimateguide.com this summer.  It’s all gorgeous, but none of it is right for me.  After 4 babies, my tummy is trashed!  I’m simply not comfortable displaying my stretchmarks to the beach going public while on vacation in South Carolina next month.  Are there no good one piece swimsuits?  Please help!

No worries, dudes and dudettes, everyone’s entitled to a righteous piece of cloth for their days by the big blue.  Check out this totally awesome Bandeau swimsuit from Freya.  It’s called the Bamboo Island and it’s totally like your classic strapless one-piece swimsuit, okay?  It’s got this radical flowery print that’s kind of like all Asian looking.  It’s also got this like underwire shelf bra which is totally a must have if you’ve got the mondo bazoombas (sizes include F cups).  Plus, the back is open so it’s like…wow!  Showin’ some skin dude!

So, don’t be afraid to spend some time by the big blue.  There’s something for everybody.  Enjoy your weekend dudes!

Freya Bamboo Island One Piece Swimsuit

London is the place to be whenever you are looking for lingerie.  They have the lingerie that will make every woman feel appealing, sexy, beautiful and rocking gorgeous and that is exactly what Bordelle lingerie is all about.  This is a fairly new, London-based, high-fashion lingerie brand that is constantly getting all sorts of attention.  This brand is something that I have personally never seen before, their trademark ribbon technology and the way they incorporate ribbons is incredible.

The future is with Bordelle in the way of lingerie and they have opened up their first online boutique this month.  While this piece is just one out of their Spring/Summer 2009 collection, the Fall/Winter collection is going to be posted in their online store, so you should definitely check that out!

Remember, while Bordelle lingerie is new, the fashion-forward company is going places in the lingerie world!

We are looking forward to a sunny weekend here in LA - perfect for a bit of relaxation and fun! We hope you enjoy your weekend too! xox

At a time when women should be feeling fantastically feminine is often the time, when for a variety of reasons, a lot of women stop feeling sexy – so if you or someone you know is pregnant and in need of a lift, take a look at what we have for you today…

Maternal Beauty

From a proper fitting bra to a sexy chemise, we know lingerie can play a big part in making us feel good. Luckily the emergence of maternity lingerie labels now means being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to neglect your lingerie collection, or the feeling it gives you. For the last three years, Hotmilk, one of the best known maternity labels has given pregnant women the opportunity to buy well-made, properly fitting bras and lingerie, which will also make them feel fabulous!

Whether you’re going to a wedding, a garden party or you’re just looking for some gorgeous lingerie this summer, check out the delights Hotmilk has for you this season. You’ll find pretty pastel sets for daytime and darker, seductive colours for the evening: Our favourite is the aptly-named She Blushes in Delight set (top right); and if you’re looking to cause a flutter, why not go for the Ruffle My Feathers Camisole (below, third from left) and matching briefs , which are very reasonably priced at only £30 for the top and £13.50 for the bottoms.

Feeling Fabulous Before and After!

With maternity lingerie this hot it’s never been so easy to stay feeling sexy while pregnant! And don’t forget: Hotmilk is not just for Mothers to be; those who intend to breastfeed can stay feeling fabulous with Hotmilk’s brilliant designs, which are designed to wear during and after pregnancy, and come complete with handy clips and soft cups!

Hotmilk is available up to an F cup at Mio Destino.

The news on the DD+ front just gets better and better. Our latest arrival? Elle Macpherson's super-feminine Artistry range, in semi-sheer lace interwoven with ribbon, now goes up to a G cup. Bra, £35.

High-end UK designer Roksanda Ilinci is actually quite famous in the fashion world for her eye-catching collabo’s, but this collaboration with Damaris is a little more than a sidestep from her usual work.

“An exciting collaboration between Damaris and Roksanda Ilincic is presented as a limited edition capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2009. Inspired by the idea of lingerie pieces as beautiful items rather than undergarments, each piece is specially draped, twisted and hand finished with delicate raw edged silk chiffon, silk organza, complimented with Swarovski crystals covered in silk chiffon.”

Roksanda Ilinci designed a beautiful haute couture lingerie line with Damaris, and even though prices are anything but cheap – some of these are actually already sold out on the Damaris site.

So – if you want one of these incredible superpieces, act fast!
