Nightgowns and Why The Right Fabric is the Secret.
The best way to choose a see-through nightgown online is to pay little attention to the picture. The name of the textile used is generally more useful. Chiffon is one of the most commonly used sheer fabrics, as are georgette, tulle, double georgette and organza. Lace can be quite revealing depending on the pattern, and [...]
Nightgowns – Can They Improve Your Sex Life?
In a word, yes. A nightgown can be anything, from a simple cotton shift to a few patches of lace, a wisp of lace and a ribbon. It can be modest or revealing, sophisticated or sluttish, silk or cotton, long or short. The word nightgown covers a huge spectrum of very different garments, but there’s [...]
When Is A Peignoir Set Like A Pizza?
until around hundred years ago, if you bought new clothes, they were always custom made. Custom made was normal. Most women not only had a dressmaker they were capable of making their own clothes. If you were rich then it was always the dressmaker, and the result was two fold.

1. Clothes used to fit.

2. There were no standard sizes.
What? No Nightgown?
Those of us who have passed the first flush of youth, and I must include myself here, may find ourselves occasionally frustrated by the cult of the young. Fashion seems to be designed with the young in mind, both in terms of design and in terms of size. Style, however is something we ladies of [...]

The Importance of Nightgowns
It’s no coincidence that when a woman dumps a man or becomes a dumpee, she often heads straight for the hairdresser. A new look is in order. Self esteem is at stake and confidence is the key to recovery. But there are times in life when confidence slips, just a little, and you’re not aware [...]
You Asked For It – Our New Bridal Nightgown
Today we’ve just finished adding our new ‘sunshine’ collection to the website, and part of that is a our new bridal nightgown set, Barefoot Bride. Consisting of a chiffon nightgown with tiny lace underlay, the chiffon is layered but still very revealing, fluttering, feminine but very sexy and designed for the bride who knows what she wants, and how to get it.

The Finale of LOST was so disappointing that it seems wrong to write about it. But here goes.
How to Choose Lingerie – Cotton or Silk?
It’s an easy choice, or so most people think. Cotton is cheap, practical and every day. Silk is for special occasions, it’s delicate, sensuous and definitely dangerous. Almost opposites. So you’d probably be surprised if I told you that cotton is often the more expensive of the two, and when it comes to strength, silk usually wins hands down.

Sherlock Holmes

Jan 202010

What a surprise! Yesterday we went to see the film Sherlock Holmes. I wanted to see it, but I was expecting to find it ludicrous. Conan Doyle’s famous consulting detective in bare knuckle fights? Mycroft‘s brother doing martial arts? Any fan of the books (or even the previous films) would find it strange at the very least.

Instead I found a really enjoyable film with a Sherlock Holmes who was, though different in many ways from the detective we all know, believable. Odd, impossibly talented, occasionally dark and strangely vulnerable, whatever you’ve heard, this new Sherlock Holmes is not Iron Man with a bad English accent. This Sherlock Holmes is new and different, but somehow still the same, and maybe even better, in his own way.

So today when I sat down to look at our next collection of nightgowns, I found myself looking more at the robes. We all know about robes. They have shawl collars, belted waists and they look, to quote my grandmother, like bags tied in the middle. There’s really nothing more to say. But maybe, like the creators of this new Sherlock Holmes, we can take another look and create which is the same, traditional useful, comforting garment, but with a new and different twist. Watch this space!

fascinator Why wear anything with a nightgown? To have style of course! A Certain Style, we normally recommend one of gorgeous robes as the ideal companion for any nightgown, long or short, but if you’ve a yes to make a statement over the Christmas holidays, or maybe even just a flare for the dramatic, what about a hat? Not just any hat. Just as our nightgowns and robes are custom made for clients, the ideal hat is a custom creation designed to fit and flatter your lifestyle. Banal or bohemian, there will be a hat for you, how about this fabulous peacock creation, found on Etsy for just $151.51? There’s something about hats, and they’re making a comeback, from vast feathered creations (simply ideal for Ascot and the races) to tiny concoctions of ribbon and net ideal for brides, mothers or even just a night on the town. For sheer variety, take a look at these lovely hats from Australia but don’t worry they can be shipped to you, wherever you are.

So for a casual dinner by your pool or on the yacht, why not choose our custom evening pajamas and glorious Sheba robe, and top the whole thing with a fabulous cocktail hat, just to be different? They say it’s a hat, but take a look, it’s a hairband really, and who wouldn’t wear a hairband with their pajamas? Dare to be different!
