Stella is a Star

A somewhat recent purchase of Stella McCartney panties made a big fan out of me. Her designs, along with the fit and feel of her garments, make for very attractive lingerie.

The latest in Stella panties is the Dolly Snogging Boyleg Briefs. Stella has always made good use of tulle in her panties, but the lace detail here is an added nicety. The floral lace design almost completely covers the top of the panty and then slowly dwindles as you work your way down to a single flower on the outside of the cotton reinforced crotch. The floral work on top of the tulle makes for a gorgeous look and allows for plenty of flesh and just the slightest amount left to the imagination. This panty is very very well done.

It is done in a taupe color. It includes an embroidered lace trim and is 85% polyamide and 15% elastane. It includes a scalloped edge and is partially lined. It has a regular rise and is available in small, medium, and large. It is my experience that items on net-a-porter do not last very long, so if you want a pair of these lovely panties for yourself, you probably shouldn't wait. They are $65.

More Sheer Goodness

Yesterday I discussed the new Stella McCartney bodysuit that I positively adore. As I said in the post, for now, I am only watching it online and sadly not wearing it. I can only hope that that changes at some point.

What I have had the opportunity to wear, out of Stella's collection of lovelies, is the Eve Giggling briefs, pictured here. I am a huge, huge fan of sheer panties. After seeing that these had been marked down (to $45.50 from $65), I knew the time to act was now. As a quick aside, I have to say the vendor, NET-A-PORTER.com, got these panties to me in record time. They shipped the day of my order, and I believe they were in my mailbox a day or two later. For someone as big into immediate gratification as me, that is huge.

But, anyway, on to the panties. They are called briefs, but they are not briefs in the sense of the pin up briefs that I review here quite often. These are more likened to a low rise bikini. I often worry about buying panties that fit as such because they can sometimes turn out to fit disastrously on me. Fortunately, this panty does not fall into that category. The fit is quite perfect. In fact, this can be a good option for situations where I don't want my panties to peek up above my jeans. I've been known to throw caution to the wind most often in terms of that concern, but this will be a good panty around for cases where I want to be sure there is no panty peeking up. That said, these are probably the most comfortable low rise I own. Not once have I felt uncomfortable or as though I needed to adjust. Furthermore, the sheer lace is quite comfortable, and not the least bit scratchy. I got used to the feel of the material immediately.

Other than that, what else is there to say? In addition to being sheer, these panties have a very pretty design. The edges have a nice scalloping all around, and they're a somewhat unusual, but well done, orange color. This turned out to be a great addition to my panty collection. And there's still time left, if you happen to be a small, to make it part of yours.

These panties are 70% polyamide and 30% elastane. If you do buy them, please note, they are hand wash only. A matching bra and thong can also be purchased as part of this line from Stella.

Another Bodysuit?

A couple of months ago I made the decision that I wanted to get myself a bodysuit. After taking quite a bit of time to look around at various options, I ended up settling on two rather expensive ones. One was from Wolford and the other from La Perla. In both cases I couldn't have been more happy with what I purchased. They both looked exquisite and made me feel incredible.

In the time since I continue to browse bodysuits, but haven't purchased anything new. Sadly, that probably won't change in the near future. But I'll most certainly be keeping my eye on this beauty from Stella McCartney in the meantime. The Louise Bodysuit is, without a doubt, a thing of beauty and detail. Much like my La Perla bodysuit, it is adorned with a generous amount of power mesh, a fabric that I've fallen deeply in love with during the recent months. As if the mesh body wasn't attractive enough, the floral lace cups just push this bodysuit over the top. The cups give way to a thick ribbon-like strap complete with a pretty bow. Unlike my La Perla suit, this one has a full back, instead of a thong back.

The bodysuit is a composition of 72% polyamide, 17% elastane, 6% silk, and 5% polyester. Unfortunately, it is a bit out of my current price range at $220. But I'll be keeping an eye on it. If it should ever go on sale, I'll be pouncing on it. Until then, I'll just continue to lust after it from afar...
