The Lingerie Gifts Post
It is now a tradition for me to write about lingerie presents for Christmas. This is because in Italy is considered lucky to wear a pair of briefs or a matching set in a bright red colour on the first day of the year. So it is customary to gift a nice matching set, generally red, but any colour will do. Also it is a nice gesture because when we receive lingerie as a gift it is always something much nicer instead of our usually sensible underwear we buy for ourselves. So I've picked few matching set for you to choose.
This gorgeous bustier and matching briefs from Aubade is so beautiful that it deserves to be worn as a top as well. Aubade has created a metallic Calais Leavers lace which is paired with jacquard satin giving a vintage look. Check the little details like the gold buttons and bows. The cups goes from B to E while bras from the same collection Femme Aubade, depending on the style can start from B or D and they go up to E, F or G. www.aubade.co.uk
Here we have this very festive Lace Kiss Crimson Bralette and Thong by B.Tempt*d. The bralette has got no hooks and you just wear it slip it on over your head. The sizes are from S to L. This is a very affordable matching set as well as being of a very high quality. Gift it to your best friend in order to wish her a very lucky new year. www.btemptd.co.uk
Elomi is the brand where curvaceous girls can find beautiful, sexy, colourful lingerie always very stylish. The Charley collection has got a delicate mesh fabric with stretch lace and a sweet flower embroidery. You can either have a matching set black on black and colourful floral embroidery or mix and match. The option for the bra are a plunge one or bralette, while briefs can be brazilian or full brief.

Purple is another very popular colour for lingerie. Next has got this lovely Phoebe matching set with a balcony bra and lace shorts. Size are from 32A to 38DD for the bra and briefs go from 6 to 18. I like the straps, quite shiny, so that won't be out of place if peeking from a top. www.next.co.uk
