Christmas gift review: Margot

My name is Kitty and I am a self-professed lingerie addict. I created my blog, Undercover Lingerista, as a way of exploring the many lingerie and swimwear brands on the market - from long established names to individual designers. One of my key focuses is discovering brands that offer that extra ‘je-ne-sais quoi’ and promote the beauty of femininity in all its forms. I strongly believe that the ideal underwear set should empower the wearer and make her feel truly special.

I am very much a fan of vintage and pin-up inspired lingerie, so when I came across the delights of Playful Promises, I knew that I had found something special. With everything from corsets, to swimwear, to clothes, to nipple pasties, Playful Promises offers sumptuous and seductive treats a-plenty, to bring out the temptress in you!

With Christmas fast approaching, what better way to treat a special lady, than to buy her a luxuriously elegant set of lingerie? 

One of my favourite Playful Promises sets is the stunning ‘Margot’ in blush pink. Inspired by the femme fatales of Film Noir, this soft cup bra and brief are the ultimate in classic 40’s glamour and are sure to seduce anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse! 

The ‘Margot’ is a classic set with a twist, playing beautifully on the timeless lace trend, whilst adding a touch of the risqué, with its daring cut and sheer nude mesh. The colour palette of peach-nude and dramatic black adds to the ‘Margot’s sophisticated appeal.

Made predominantly from semi-sheer mesh, the ‘Margot’ bra gives a hint of flesh, whilst the plunging ‘V’ cut draws emphasis to your assets. This triangle bra is soft to the touch and comfortable to wear, thanks to its elastic non-wired under band, practical hook and eye fastening and fully adjustable straps.

The peachy mesh of the ‘Margot’ is complimented by an overlay of black eyelash lace, which boasts beautiful floral detailing. Delicate zig-zag stitching along the edges and girly bow motif adornments add to this set’s vintage charm, making the ‘Margot’ ooze glamour!

The ‘Margot’ briefs are extremely flattering and very cheeky...in more than one way! The ‘pièce de résistance’ is definitely the sheer back, which gives a tantalising flash of your derrière!

Playful Promises makes life a lot easier for gift-buyers, who only need to pick between three sizes (S, M and L) in both the bra and briefs! At just £20 for the bra and £15 for the knickers, the ‘Margot’ set is great value, as well as looking and feeling luxurious.

To transform yourself into the ultimate Hollywood starlet, complete the look by teaming the ‘Margot’ with the ‘Cervin blush and black nylon seamed stockings’ (£15), ‘Black enamel rose hair grips’ (£6) and ‘Pin Up Couture Noir Starlet shoes’ (£45):

The ‘Margot’ is a fabulous bedroom set that would be perfect for elegant ladies who have a mischievous streak! For a Christmas that promises to be extra special, let your show-stopping Playful Promises lingerie do the talking!

Halloween Competition Winner

Our Halloween costume competition is now closed!

Thank you to everyone that entered, we had such fantastic entries it was extremely difficult to choose which we liked the best! We had everything from sexy takes on classic costumes, to the downright bizarre! 

However, we can only have one winner......

How about an Occupy Wallstreet costume? It's quite perfect for attending a Halloween party! You would start out with a very smart suit and pencil skirt set, complete with blouse and necktie. You'd carry a suitcase with little Monopoly bills poking out the sides. As the night goes on, you slyly remove pieces of clothing and tuck them into your little suitcase. By the end of the night your costume consists of a pair of green pasties with little black crystal dollar signs on them, and a bright red g-string with "The 1%" embroidered on it. It may be political and somewhat controversial, but by the end of the night everyone will agree- that dang 1% has got to go.

Congratulations Angelina for this super sexy yet relevant entry ;) Just send me an email with your size requirements and shipping address, and your PP goodie bag will be on it's way very soon! 

A naughty treat giveaway!

Trick or Treat? A treat of course (would we be so mean?), and what a treat! We are giving away a colourful goodie bag full of tasty lingerie in delicious candy colours, perfect for a post-halloween dress up session! 

To be in with the chance of winning this naughty bag of goodies, we want to hear about the WILDEST Halloween costume you can think of! It doesn't have to be an existing costume, perhaps just an outrageous idea? Remember: extra points for a bit of cheekiness!

Make sure to comment below, and winners will be notified on the 31st!
