Sorry it's been so long since my last post, I realise I probably don't have many readers but I still do feel like I'm slacking, so I will strive to post more from now on!
Anyway, today I finally tried on my House of Satin lingerie set and I just had to include it in today's post as it is simply wonderful!
I went for the pink satin bra, knickers and suspender set (all pictured below). The entire set came to about £30 which I thought was somehow a trick but it's real!
The story behind House of Satin really warmed me to the brand as well. Everything is hand made in the UK in Derby, by a lovely lady called Yvonne I believe, and you can really feel the love that goes into these garments. Also the sizing is great as I really struggle to find vintage style bras that still make my boobs look good! I'm quite busty so some brands don't always cater to my size or they tend to flatten my chest, I went for a 32F and it is pretty perfect! I would say they are quite roomy so go down if you're in-between sizes.
Now for the pretty pictures! (all taken on my iPhone 6 with no editing)
£9.95
My waist is about 26 inches and I went for size Small with the belt (it is on the tightest hook)
£14
£5.50
I'm around a size 10 and went for Small in the briefs
The stockings I used for these pictures are What Katie Did
As you can see the colour is magnificent, I feel like a true pinup Barbie. The colour ranges are also a surprise as they have a lot of choice (and new lines coming from what I can tell on the instagram). So if bright pink is a bit too striking, you can also go for pastel blue or white or classic black.
The product range is also more than the above, including night wear, girdles and slips. I will definitely be buying more, I wanted to start with a classic lingerie set to get a feel for the brand.
I'm sure you'll agree that sometimes cheap items can be off putting, as with vintage lingerie the more expensive the better the quality (in most cases). But I can assure you that I am simply very impressed with the quality of these pieces, I am yet to wear them out for a long time but just on a first trying-on I feel that it will all be very comfy and long lasting.
Also the love that has gone into this lingerie makes me think that this is less of a money making scheme, and more of a labour of love to give customers affordable glamour.
