Luxury Nightgowns and Robes – Why Fabric is Key
There’s something about silk which makes it a luxury fabric, and of course it feels fabulous close to the skin. Sadly a lot of people steer clear of silk in the belief that it is difficult to care for, which these days is not always the case. Many modern silks, including those we use, are [...]
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 [...]

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.

Getting a Little Lost
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.

Plus Size Trends in 2010

Oct 302009

If youv’e seen my facebook page then you’ve already seen the picture of the torn stockings which are, apparently ‘in‘ for fall 2009 and 2010? According to who? I can’t imagine Tim Gunn telling me to go about with my stockings in tatters. Is that what they call ‘fashion forward’ these days? I was delighted to know that black is now ‘in‘ (hey guys, it’s never been out except in some cloud cuckoo land) and that designers are catering to our need for cheaper things to wear by reducing the number of items in their collections and using black and grey to denote the somber mood.

Do I need help to feel somber? No. I can manage that perfectly well for myself, thanks. And frankly from the look of Agent Provocateur latest collection I’d say they’d taken the ‘pared down’ thing a little too far. Two spots and a couple of chains for $290?

There are some trends to admire. Deep, rather than dark colors can give a wonderful feeling of warmth and luxury, deep purple’s and teals will be high on our list as we prepare for 2010 – but frankly they’re my favorites anyway. Here are some of the ‘rules’ we live by at Certain Style

Black is never ever ‘out‘.
Grey and navy always look smart
Torn tights and stockings may be fashionable but they look AWFUL, whether it’s called grunge or ‘distressed’
There are three colors in the ideal outfit, not just two
Business clothes require high contrast e.g. navy suit, ivory blouse, grey suit, white blouse, etc. etc.
As you get older brighter colors may suit you more – don’t get stuck in a rut
If something is ‘in‘ there is the instant implication that at some time it will be ‘out‘. If something is ‘classic‘ it’s never ‘out‘. Which makes the better wardrobe investment?
Red is much easier and fun to wear than people seem to think

You look best in colors that suit you Find out what these are – find out what the trends are and wear those colors from your palette which are, supposedly, ‘in‘ if that’s what makes you feel good. Otherwise, just wear what suits, as to whether it’s in, if you look and feel great, who cares?
