“I loved the whole ritual of being married but if I got married again, I would change the vows from “til death do us part” to “I’m really in love with you right now.”‘

Science of Sexy by Dita Von Teese Flickr Photostream

I was silly enough to walk into Dirty Pretty Things today, and – as always – Melissa found me that something special to cheer up my day! (In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to walk out of there without buying something delightfully decadent.)

I haven’t come across this lingerie label before, but Bien Fée Pour Toi was love at first fitting!

So innocent and and irresistibly cute. I love the little bows and the loveheart shaped bum on the culotte is just adorable! The straps detach so the bra can be worn strappless or as a halterneck. The bra shapes a perfect 50′s bust and looks incredible under a tight jumper.

I love the new set just as much as I love the store I got it from!

Science of Sex by Dita Von Teese for Wonderbra

This has to be the most beautiful garter belt I have ever seen. So very delicate and utterly sexy.

I can’t wait for the launch of her lingerie line so that I get my hands on them. I dare say I will be ordering the majority of the range online…

Sexy Science by Dita implies that they will be revealing a promotional video on September 15th. Keep and eye out and here’s a preview Teese:

“Available to buy from mid September, the collection was created by Dita herself and includes three different ranges – Multi-Teese, Spot-Teese and Satin-Teese – all inspired by lingerie from the ’40s and ’50s.” - Marie Claire

I – can’t – wait.

Black satin Femme Fatale Strapless corset

I’ve been coveting a corset for years but for some reason haven’t gone out of my way to acquire one.

I guess at first I didn’t know where to get one, and once I did, the whole goth and emo thing was all over the shop already. And the last thing I want is to find myself classified as one of either group. Or any other subculture screaming their little hearts out to be noticed amongst their army of cloned ‘individuality’. No thanks.

I’m just a big fan of spicing up my feminine flair with a tad of fetish items. I mean, a perfect hourglass figure, who wouldn’t want it?

During one of my recent lingerie binges, I was referred to Gallery Serpentine in Enmore. They specialise in goth wear and have a wide range of real boned corsets.

After trying a few different styles on, I chose Femme Fatale Strapless – the one with the most ’50s fetish pinup feel to it. It has a gorgeous sweetheart shaped neckline, lacing in both back and front (cleavage control ladies!) and takes about 5-6 inches off the waist. As a bonus this style is quite roomy in the bust area and can therefore accommodate my breasts.

I wanted mine made out of black satin and ordered an additional modesty panel* under the back lacing as I don’t find back cleavage overly attractive. They didn’t have any size 8s in stock, and since I wanted mine slightly modified, I had to order one in and wait 4 weeks for it.

To be completely honest, it really isn’t comfortable to wear. But breathing is well overrated, right?
