Lingerie Exhibition

I recently went to the lingerie exhibition at the Fashion Textile Museum, at London Bridge. I didn't know what to expect, or if I would find the answers to many of my unanswered questions, of how will I get my designs and name out into the public stratosphere, and I was stunned by the variety of designs, and their progression from the late nineteenth century onwards. I was impressed by how the emancipation of women economically and socially directly affected the underwear they wore, and the detail on some of the pieces (below) was spectacular.



It was interesting how the iconic corset has re-manifested itsef and formed into body suits and bras


...and re-invented as a sexy and glamorous staple:



I was also amazed to see the differing types of designs, and some futuristic pieces:



In my next blog I will be dissecting the differing designs...xx

Wet Dreams

Ok, picture this, I was in the midst of designing some more dresses, and visulaising a design that does not make a curvy lady lok frumpy, when I asked my fiance to get me some water. I was at his home and unfortunately his kitchen ceiling was leaking...midway through churning my brain, when lo and behold, I hear a hug crash bang wallop! Panicking, I thought my darling was underneath some rubble, when I called out to him , I heard nothing, and then his sweet squeaky voice said he was ok phew!! So now awkwardly, I am in some raggy night dress whilst he, his family and a friend are fixing this huge leak!

Ok so back on to the theme of designing...I am currently sketching, so I do not have a scanner, but will scan some images tomorrow. In the meantime I will try to design some wet looks...!

And just a quick mention, I design handmade jewellery and lingerie/clothing for women (UK size 8-30+). Get in touch and let me know your thoughts on dressing sexy with curves in all the right places!
