Summer is all about lace!

Lace is a key detail for the summer months during the day and (much more importantly in our opinion) the evening and night!

With absolutely no shortage of sexy sophistication, this seasons trends do not disappoint. Luxe lace detailing is BIG news and provides instant grown-up glamour. Ladies, continue to cinch in those waists and vamp up your drawers because ruffles, frills and lace aren't just for your outerwear this season!

We highly recommend the following items to turn up the heat this summer and provide the ultimate in boudoir chic, add a parisian pout and you'll be completely en vogue!

The trends

•  Bright colours - These look great, offer something slightly different and ensure you ooze confidence and sex appeal. Make your purchase and flaunt those notice me hues around your very own boudoir!
• Detailing - Why not try adventurous animal prints or delicate lady-like lace during the day? Our lingerie looks as good in the boardroom as it does in the boudoir! After all it's what's underneath that counts!
• Half-cup padded styles -  These provide a generous lift without all of the full-on padding, be sexy but subtle and you'll still be noticed...

How to (under)wear this seasons trends:

• Sheer - Always make sure that your lingerie is flesh-coloured and underwired. This ensures that your cleavage is there but barely...
• Plunging - Deep V-neck and plunging necklines demand a plunging bra. This is a time when you need ultimate cleavage. Sometimes a hint of a bra can look seriously sexy, but it has to be done in the right way.
• Strapless - A bra or corset with removable straps is one of your basics. So put it to good use and avoid those nasty double straps! 'Midnight Star' in the Full on Glamour Collection has a low rise back and is highly recommended for wearing with those low backed dresses this party season!
• High-waisted - For this winters high-waisted fashions, we recommend structured knickers that will provide you with a flattering, gorgeous shape and no VPL's! See our 'Boudoir Essentials.'

The basics

Every woman should own the following types of bras:

• The T-Shirt bra - for great shape in those close fitting garments.
• The sports bra - for work-outs
• The plunge bra - to give support and flaunt (just two of) your assets with that special dress, or simply to blow men away!
• The lace bra - to add some 'va va voom' to your top drawer.
• The strapless bra - for those gorgeous statement dresses or tops, where straps just won't do!
• The bra that comes off the moment that you put it on...

 It is important that you find the most flattering shape for you, so we suggest the following:

• Small bust - padded or half-cup styles to add some curves and flatter your shape perfectly.
• Average bust - balcony or plunging styles, give you support and shape.
• Large bust - balcony or full- cup bras depending upon the amount of coverage and support you require.

Product care

Lengthen the life of your lingerie!

We recommend that our lingerie is hand-washed using gentle soap flakes. Always ensure that dark and light fabrics are washed seperately.

Try not to wear light coloured lingerie under darker fabrics as this may result in the colour of your lingerie dulling over time.

The cheats guide to hand-wash for the girl on the go!

Invest in a lingerie bag and use a hand-wash cycle on your washing machine (Not recommended for Midnight Boudoir products!)

Hot tips from the boudoir girls

• Every man loves a sexy, plunging style that enhances your cleavage, but remember that something that makes you feel good will give you that additional body confidence and be the ultimate winner!
• Nothing can make you feel as blissful as a little beautification, so prior to unveiling your purchase or his gift, dedicate a little time to pampering yourself.
• After a long, hot bath smooth a luxurious hydrating cream or lotion all over to make your skin look and feel fabulous. Don't be afraid to fake it (your tan that is) to give you a gorgeous glow. Whatever product you decide upon ensure that you smell dreamy and have a subtle sheen to your skin.
• Give your nails a lick of polish (don't be afraid of those darker vampy shades for A/W) to add the finishing touch.
• Spray perfume behind you ears, on your wrists and behind you knees and leave an alluring scent wherever you wander!
• Don't overdo your hair and make-up, looking naturally beautiful is the key.
• Maybe add some shamelessly girly boudoir accessories such as; earrings, a string of pearls or even heels - they're great for adding inches, improving posture and giving your confidence a boost.
• Everyone deserves the opportunity to indulge, feel good and tempt their partner. Lingerie can freshen up a relationship as well as keep things alive...remind him of how gorgeous you really are and how good things can be.
