When's the last time you got wrapped up in Lace?

Serenade in White is a Canadian design - $66.00

I am, and have always been, in love with lace. I remember the first time I went to Italy when I was 16, I saw a woman with flawless ebony hair, cream pencil skirt and black satin blouse that draped elegantly at the neck revealing the merest hint of a fragile black lace bra beneath. Perhaps because I was just coming into young womanhood, that image has stayed with me all my life as the epitome of sophistication. She was powerful, elegant but also seductive - an amazing trio.

Since that time I have always owned at least one lace bra. I can't imagine opening my bra drawer and not seeing a delicate lacy bra with a pattern that feels as unique as a snowflake. Whenever I wear lace I feel more sophisticated, no matter what I put over the top.

Lace Isn't For Me
In North America there is a wide-spread perception that lace is too flimsy to support large breasts, or that it's scratchy and uncomfortable. Modern lace has come a long way since the Victorian looking fabrics that adorned scary curtains and frilly shirts! Modern lace is flat so that it doesn't create lumps and bumps under your clothing, it's also often mixed with elastane (like spandex) which gives it a soft, stretchy quality.

Lace in Fashion
You only have to look at how popular lace has become in the fashion world over the last few years to know that lace is having a resurgence. I absolutely love the dramatic and elegant Temperley Gown on the Duchess of Cambridge and the contrast to Emma Watson's young and trendy (but equally beautiful) Rafael Lopez dress. Lace is versatile but always makes a statement.

If you think that your life doesn't accommodate lace you might be surprised. One of the most comfortable and best-selling bras we've sold is the Boudoir Starlet from Alegro. This very modern bra has stretch-lace that hugs your curves perfectly. Our dynamic guest-blogger Holly, put the Boudoir Starlet through its paces (even at the fun-fair) and it kept her boobs firmly but beautifully in place!
