UK Lingerie Underwear Review and Giveaway Ends 23/09

Sunday, 26 August 2018

Bras and pants. They are pretty essential if you are a woman. We all have those faded pants in the wardrobe, our everyday pants, our greying bras and our knickers with no elastic, but sometimes only the best will do. Maybe you want to treat your partner to a glimpse of something sexy, or you want to splurge on a gorgeous set for yourself.

The fit must be exacting. The bra straps must by comfy, the wiring must sit correctly and not cut in, and the cup must cover your boobs properly. There is something amazing about picking out a pretty bra and pants set and slipping it on to find it fits perfectly. It's a great sensation and can feel like a real treat.

So where do you go for your luxury underwear? I must admit I am a fan of a certain high street store for my underwear but recently I was asked to try out the online store UK Lingerie and report back to my readers.

UK Lingerie was started in 2015 by husband and wife team, Dawn and Jonathan who already had two successful sites - UK Swimwear and UK Tights. Dawn and Jonathan spotted a gap in the market for a great online lingerie shop, selling quality products to women of all sizes. With a focus on excellent customer service, the company also like to cater for those bigger than an average C cup. When Dawn first set up the company she realised than women with curves didn't have that much choice so UK Lingerie likes to cater to us with more ample curves.

Ordering was easy on the website. You can search for brands you like, such as Gossard, Curvy Kate, Playtex and Wonderbra to name a few, or you can search for types of lingerie, nightwear, bodywear, shapewear, activewear and new items in. Another way you can search is via colour, type, size and style. Shipping is from a very reasonable £3.50 too.

I chose a set by French brand Maison Lejaby. Delivery was very quick and before long the packages arrived.

The full cup underwired bra looked like it would give good support and I really like the navy colour which was described as Nuit Noir.

Once on the bra seemed to fit well, the straps were wide enough and it was comfortable on. The matching knickers I thought were a little small so personally, I would go up a size.

I really loved the detail on the bra, with the hatching effect and the pretty floral lace.

The pants were stretchy and the front panel had a satin feel, whilst the side lace added a feminine touch.

I really liked the matching Maison Lejaby full cup underwired bra and Maison Lejaby Gaby full brief. Priced at £49 for the bra and £32 for the brief, the set is certainly not cheap but you do get quality, with well-made seams, no loose cotton threads, and a comfortable fit. I would certainly order from UK Lingerie again and they seem to have some decent sales too.

Today on my blog you can win a £50 voucher to spend on the UK Lingerie site. With bras starting at £8 and briefs from £4 it's not just luxury underwear too.
