Nine X Lingerie - Babydoll Review

Today I'm going to be reviewing this gorgeous babydoll by Nine X Lingerie! Once they got in contact with me to review a piece of theirs I just had to accept - I've had a few pieces from Nine X before from when I've bought some lingerie for modelling!

They sent me the gorgeous Mira Satin and Mesh Babydoll - I chose to have it in the colour Turquoise because it looked absolutely stunning!

I got the babydoll in a size 22, just because I like to have a little extra room in my lingerie to compensate for my girls! When wearing the babydoll you can see that I opt to wear without straps sometimes, for me it holds up quite well without the the straps. For me personally, with the straps it pulled the piece quite high up, which is good for those who may have issues with showing too much cleavage! 

The overall aesthetic and feel to the piece is wonderful and absolutely beautiful - the piece has 2 mesh panels at the side which are clear which is absolutely love! It just separates the piece up a bit and gives it a little sexier twist!

On the front of the piece you have a scalloped lace detail on the hem of the top and bottom of the babydoll and on the back you have the same piece of scalloped lace on the top but on the bottom you just have the satin material run straight down. Back to looking at the front of the babydoll, the straps are of a stretchy material, they are very comfortable as well! There is a little black bow on the front of the babydoll in the centre of the lower bust line.

Overall I really love this piece, it has enough sexiness to not be too over bearing for those who may want to be a little subtle but enough cheekiness with the mesh on the side to still be sexy; its really comfortable and is so comfy to sleep in as well! I would get a male's opinion but I have no male to give me one... But I'm sure it will definitely be a hit with your significant other too! I'd super recommend this product and Nine X is such a fantastic company - especially due to the fact I've not been able to blog and being understanding that I couldn't do the review right away. 

This product is available in sizes 8 - 24 and is available in Black, Purple, Red, Turquoise and White.

Review: Hold-up Stockings from Amazon!

 So a while back I was looking for some hold up stockings that didn't cost the earth, that stood up well throughout the day and that were good quality. While browsing on amazon I came across these and thought I would take a risk. I got them in a size XL (my thighs normally fit a size 20-22) and the fit was really good, and they didn't cut into my thighs at all.

These stockings were also a really good height on the leg for me too. I normally find with stockings they go right to the top of my thigh, which sometimes is great but sometimes I like ones that sit a little lower on my thigh instead of right up near the kitty; and these ones do the trick perfectly!

So the black pair were really nice, and found they didn't ladder at all for me (despite ripping a toe nail, very painfully, just before putting these on for work) - both pairs are 20 denier and are definitely better then some of the ladder resistant stockings I've bought in the past. These isn't too much lace on the top, but just enough and the hold up tape is very hard wearing too. I wore these frequently when I had a lot of meetings and I was darting around London in a pencil skirt suit, these didn't fall down, I didn't need to adjust them at all only when I went to the bathroom.  

The white pair are really good for anyone who needs Bridal Wear and don't particularly want to wear a suspender belt. The white is really lovely and isn't a too stronger pigment (I did expect these to be more white then they are when I first bought them). They were perfect for me when putting together a winter snow themed outfit.

Both sets of hold-ups are very comfortable and haven't for me, since having them for 2 months, have not laddered at all. I personally hand wash them in cool water after they've been used and worn in shoes for many hours a day in meetings. 

Another really good thing about these stockings is that they come in various colorus as well, so you have an array of choice.

Review: M&S Stockings and Hold Ups!

Hello my dears! Okay, so today's post is a review, I've been asked over on my twitter by some lovely plus size ladies what I thought about the stockings I had bought for some photo shoots.

I'm going to be honest here, I was more of a stockings and suspenders sort of person, however, when I tried on some hold ups for a photo shoot I had back in April I fell in love (and became slightly obsessed). 

So I was a bit hesitant to actually go and buy hold-ups, y'know having thunder thighs and all. A friend recommend that I try the Big Tight's Company ; but I never got round to ordering, so I took a punt when I was in M&S and bought these in Black...

Sorry for my ill fitting bra in these... I was washing my bra's and this was the only clean spare one!

These are the 15 Denier Ladder Resist Shine Hold-Ups - these were only £5, so if they didn't fit there wasn't a huge amount of loss in money. I got mine in an XL, the biggest size they had, and they actually fit really well! They don't slip down when I walk, especially in public, which is an absolutely key factor when it comes to hold-ups. The stick adhesive is actually really good and does have a good stay, I only have to re-adjust every now and again so there is no qualms there. 

After absolutely loving the ones in black I did go out and also buy them in nude, cause you can never go wrong with nude stockings/hold-ups am I right?! I never really thought I'd be converted, but I seriously am. I really enjoy the feel of these; and especially with the ladder resist side, my friend and me bought a tester pair and punched some holes in to see if they would ladder... They didn't! The product does exactly what it said it should; and I really love the fact that a girl who fits into size 22 jeans with thanks to my thunder thighs fits into these lovely hold-ups.

Simply Be Babydoll Review

In the last week of March I was searching around for some new lovely underwear (specifically babydoll's just because I love them and sleep in them!) and I came across this adorable one from Simply Be!

Simply Be Naturally Close Diamante Babydoll Set
£36.00 including matching knickers

The bust on the babydoll and the front triangle of the knickers are embroidered with this adorable black flower style pattern. The bra is under wired which is definitely something I'm finding comfortable for me at the moment. The top half is exactly like a bra (this one is padded and under wired) and the back strap is the same of a normal bra. For the actual babydoll, a soft mesh (and I mean super soft its so comfy!) is used with a split which ends on the inside cup of the bra and the back it drops into a keyhole gap on the back fasteners. The hem of the mesh on the babydoll is a satin material which adds to the overall comfort and style of this babydoll. And last but not least there is 2 bow detailings, one on the bum of the knickers, just a simple small black bow and 2 black ribbons on the front inbetween the cups which you can tie into a bow or just leave loose.

I got this in a 44 C/D cup, I was a little worried the cup may come up a little bigger then expected due to being a varied cup size but it fits quite nicely and I don't have to re-adjust myself that much.

I know some women like to wear this under clothes or just for their partner but I sleep in babydolls (I only really sleep in pyjamas when I'm poorly and ill and need to be snuggled) and this definitely was comfortable for me to sleep in! 

One of my favourite things about this has to be the fact that the skirt of it doesn't cover my tummy. My biggest downfall and the part of my body I'm most critical of is my tummy, so its teaching me to love it!!

The material is rather see through, like the majority of babydoll's I own however this 

Yours Clothing Lingerie Review

Good Day!! Yet another scheduled post up today - I'm actually at a photo shoot when this goes up (thank you Blogger for letting me schedule posts!). Okay so last week I went shopping (isn't that a surprise...) and I was walking round the mall and then... I saw a plus size clothing shop... THAT CARRIES MY BRA SIZE... No one will ever understand my happiness of the moment I could buy a bra that fits me on the high street. Any who... I needed a new set anyway, and I saw this most gorgeous set ever!! (Excuse the booty...)

Pink and Black Polka Dot Balconette Bra - £18

Pink and Black Polka Dot Suspender & Thong - £15

Okay first impressions in the shop were pretty biased... I did fall in love. I think I was pretty overwhelmed by the fact that they actually carried my bra size. After trying it on, again I was really happy with the fit and the fact it is a really comfortable material.

The bra is underwired, I did have a break from wearing underwired bra's just because I began to find them a bit uncomfortable on the side of my bust - however these are also padded which adds more to the comfort level. At first it was a little uncomfortable until I did adjust the bra correctly, and after wearing for about 3 hours the bra was super comfortable and I didn't even notice the wires. As I mentioned these are padded, which for me personally is something I always want in bras. A lot of bigger women obviously don't want their boobs looking bigger, however I don't think I could bare the chance of my nipples being on full show through my tight tops. (Its just a huge no go...). 

Another feature I love about this set, is in the combined suspender and thong... I love suspender/knicker sets that have detachable suspender straps. It means I can pick and chose when I want to wear stockings, and it doesn't make the set look odd when they aren't attached either. The straps are also super easy to attach and re-attach also!

I'm not normally a 'thong' sort of person, I'm definitely more of a lace french knicker kinda girl, however if all thongs were like this one I could be easily swayed. A lot of bigger girls I know won't wear thongs because they don't really want to show their butt, but I'm always up for taking a risk! The thong is made of a super soft mesh material, and you don't even notice its there half the time (it definitely does not ride up my bum and then have that awkward 'readjust' myself moment in public!).

Overall I'm super pleased with this set... There isn't really many faults. Just make sure you definitely get the right size in the suspender/thong mainly because for me personally the sizes came up bigger then normal, so I sized down. Also buying too small could mean the suspender belt could slip down and you would have to keep lifting it up under your dress which could be a little awkward! 

Yours Clothing you get a 10/10 for this set! I loved it so much that 3 days later I went and bought another new set!

Much Love

Emma Victoria
