I had no idea nice lingerie was so hard to find until a couple of months ago when I walked into Victoria’s Secret to buy nightwear for a friend who was getting married. The whole experience was like buying a car for the first time. In other words, I was lost and confused. I had no idea what to get her so I decided to pick something I wouldn’t mind wearing. I spent an hour walking back and forth, searching for something that didn’t scream “cheap whore” or that was neon green (I’m not kidding). Finally, I settled on a lacy brown piece that didn’t have any shreds of fabric or strange holes and absolutely NO sequins.
I’ve often joked with friends that I’m going to wear footie pajamas on my honeymoon just because most nightwear is raunchy (and not in a good way), but after discovering Strumpet & Pink, I have changed my mind…
Made by English designers Lisa Z Morgan and Melanie Probert, the handmade knickers are artistic and elegant but still very playful. I love how they are decorated with buttons and flowers and are kind of like costume pieces.
They look like something a nymph would wear, and nymph is EXACTLY what you should be going for right?
Strumpet & Pink is pretty exclusive and I’m not sure if any US stores carry their items, but some of the pieces can be purchased through Glamorous Amorous.
And for those who want something less cutesy and more zexy, there’s always La Perla.
