Show Me Some I.D.

Friday, October 30, 2009

Kicking the weekend off with a some of the new stuff from lingerie producer I.D. Sarrieri. This is a relatively new name to me. I.D. Sarrieri was launched in 1992, but has been run the last 8 years by 33 year old Lulia Dobrin. In terms of luxury lingerie, this certainly rivals the fashions of La Perla and Simone Perele. The list of celebrities who wear her designs are like a who's who of current actresses such as Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz, and Charlize Theron, among many others.

For those of us not currently pulling in an A-list actor's salary, the designs here may be a bit to steep for our price range. But they sure are nice to look at.

The detail on the 3800 line certainly blew me away. Pictured here is a push up bra and matching boyshort. The idea behind this set is a modern take on a vintage concept. What I see is gorgeous french lace, and plenty of it at that.

The bra is a padded push up with a very nicely done lace accent. The cups are covered with a floral lace design and there is a generous amount of lace detail across the tops of the cups. There is also a lovely bow accent in the middle. There are adjustable double shoulder straps. The bra is 50% nylon, 34% rayon, 10% elastic, and 6% rayon. It costs $155.

The boyshort is even more stunning to me. It is completely sheer tulle adorned with french lace designs. The lace detail continues across the back to provide the wearer with some visual coverage. It also has a lace trim waistband and a bow accent. It is made from 57% rayon, 24% nylon, and 19% cotton. It costs $150.

The 6700 line is also retro-inspired, and while not having the same amount of lace detail, it is gorgeous in the way that it is understated. It is all very sheer and very feminine. The black color lends itself to a more formal look. It also has enough design to enhance the sexiness of an already sexy sheer black piece.

This bra is a triangle, so it has significantly less padding. It is delicate and bold at the same time. It leaves very little to the imagination, as it is quite sheer. It is sheer nylon with a tulle trim and a floral design. It is transparent, yet not so much that it doesn't leave the observer looking for more. It is made from 58% polyester, 35% nylon, and 7% spandex. It costs $150.

While there is also a matching g-sting, I opted to highlight the retro brief. I think when you're dealing with a sheer piece, more coverage is actually sexier. The panty is completely sheer, save for the front patch which is sheer but has the matching floral design over it. Despite being a brief it still sits well below the natural waist. It also has a small bow detail in the front. It is made from 42% polyester, 36% nylon, 18% cotton, and 4% spandex. It costs $93.

I saved the sexiest and boldest for last. The 3200 line combines the lace detail of the 3800 and the sheer style of the 6700 to come out with some gorgeous pieces. This line is not for the self conscious types as the ivory color leaves the wearer with nowhere to hide. It is so stunning, however, that I'm not sure how someone could feel anything but gorgeous wearing these.

Again, the bra is a triangle. It is sheer tulle accented with chantilly lace, as well as Swarovski crystals. The crystals are actually sprinkled in throughout the bra. The adjustable bra straps are accented with a generous amount of lace. The bra is 100% nylon. As you might expect, this bra comes with a big price tag...$273 to be exact. But no one ever said wearing Swarovski crystals would be cheap.

There are a variety of options to match with this, but none quite as good as the culotte. The culotte is so transparent one must feel like they're wearing nothing at all. It sits low on the hips and has an almost boyshort-like fit to it. Once again, there is chantilly lace detail, but it's kept to a minimum as the intent seems to have been to keep this as transparent as possible. Once again, there is an inclusion of Swarovski crystals inside the lace detail. Does it get more gorgeous than this? The culotte costs $255.

Have a great weekend!
