The Beautiful Boudoir by Pour Moi?

*PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY IMAGES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION*

Back in February you may recall my Valentine's line-up was dedicated to one brand, Pour Moi? I was contacted by the company who offered me a set to review, so naturally I chose my 'No. 1' set from the gorgeous Boudoir range.





*Firstly and most importantly, Pour Moi? don't make my current size of 28GG/H so I had to sister size to a 30G.*


The Boudoir range from Pour Moi? is made in an elegant nude mesh with black trim, straps and floral embroidered motifs. I consider the Boudoir range to be a practical way of wearing a burlesque look, with the floral motifs hinting at nipple pasties. I have to admit, I ADORE the strappy look of this range and should I ever book another shoot with My Boudoir I plan on wearing it with few extra accessories.


Pour Moi? very kindly sent me both bras from the Boudoir range, the half padded and unpadded, both in a 30G. Both bras are too big in the band as expected, but could be shortened using a Rixie Clip if needs be. 

The Unpadded Boudoir Bra comes in sizes 30D-G, 32-36B-G and 38-40C-G and costs £28. It has sheer cups with strategically placed black floral motifs to ensure no nipple show if that's something you guard against. The underwiring is highlighted in black to mirror the trim at the top of the cups and the straps are black and fully adjustable. As I've sister sized, I expected the cups to fit well, but I feel a cup size bigger would have fitted better, so if you can, size up in the cup but stick to your usual band.





Next up, the Half Padded Boudoir Bra, £28 in sizes 30D-G, 32-34B-G and 38-40C-G. now this bra is interesting! Unlike anything I've ever seen before it has a half cup, again with the floral motif and black underwire casing, and a...how do I describe this...a floating trim? It'll make more sense when you see the photos.Sadly this bra runs smaller in the cup by around a whole cup size, so size up by two cups and stick to your usual band. That said, this bra was clearly designed with seduction in mind so I guess fit isn't all that important! 




I was also sent the Boudoir Thong in a size 16 (£12 sizes 8-16) and Boudoir Suspender in a Large (£20 sizes S-XL). The Boudoir Thong is a perfect fit, if a touch baggy in the front and I love the strappy detail. It works beautifully with the Boudoir Suspender as you can see. Ideally a smaller suspender belt would have been preferable as I've ventured out before in a suspender belt that sits on my hips rather than my waist before and ended up with my stockings slipping! 

So do you love this show stopping set as much as I do? Are you thinking of buying it?

Again, thanks for reading,

Pour Moi? The Valentine's Day Edit 2015

But a few days from now it will be upon us. The day singletons loathe, those spoken for panic about; Valentine's Day. I've never been a fan of lingerie for lingerie for the sake of seduction but I realise some of you might and admittedly I have found myself lusting over a number of styles a little less practical for everyday use, so here's my top 5 for Valentine's Day 2015 by lingerie brand Pour Moi? I know they don't come in my size, but a girl can dream (and sister size) right?


5. In at number 5 is the flirty Indulgence range. With it's pink base and black mesh overlay it's both feminine and sexy. What's more, this set in on sale! Prices listed below are correct at the time of publishing.


Indulgence -matching items also available
Padded Bra £12.00 Sizes 30 D-F, 32 B-F, 34 A-F, 36 B-E
Suspender Belt £8.00 Sizes S-XL
Thong £6.00 Sizes 8-16


4. A luxurious addition to your lingerie drawer from Pour Moi? is the Treasure range. With tons of eyelash lace, satin and bows (gotta love bows, right?) you're sure to find something in the range even if the bra and basque don't come in your size (raises hand). Check out the super cute skirted thong!


Treasure- matching items also available. Also in Mink/Black colour way
Padded Bra £26.00 Sizes 30 D-F, 32 B-F, 34 A-F, 36 B-E, 38 B-D
Skirted Thong £18 Sizes 8-18

3. For a less typically sexy caged look, try the Forbidden range in its brand new colour way of Peacock, a bright peacock blue with a hint of pink lurking beneath. The Forbidden range features such details as bows and little keys and also comes in a more stereotypically sexy colour way of pink/black. The latter colour boasts a larger range of matching items such as a basque and suspender belt.


Forbidden- Matching items also available. Also in Black/Pink colour way
Half Padded Bra £28.00 Sizes 30 D-G, 32 A-G, 34 A-G, 36 B-G, 38 B-G, 38 C-G, 40 C-G
Brief £15 Sizes 8-18

2. The set that has grabbed my attention the most and had me daydreaming about is Addicted. Like Forbidden (above) is has that bondage-inspired caged look but is more strappy and comes in red, black and white. I LOVE this set in red! The bra is a half cup unpadded and features a tassel-ended bow at the gore. 


Addicted- Matching items also available. Also in Black and White.
Half Cup Bra £28.00 (£16.00 on sale in red only) Sizes 30 D-G, 32 B-G, 34 B-G, 36 C-G, 38 D-G, 40 D-G.
Suspender £16.00 (£9.50 on sale in red only) Sizes S-XL
G-String £12.00 (£7.20 on sale in red only) Sizes 8-16

1. And finally in the top slot, the beautiful Boudoir range! In nude mesh with black floral motif this range oozes sensual decadence. The range features two bras, one sheer unpadded (first pic), the other is a half padded (second pic) with a sort of cage look but done more elegantly with a sheer black mesh. It's divine! I love the burlesque look this set has with the flora motifs reminiscent of tasselled pasties.

Since none of these bras are available in my size I can't give any fit advice, but I will be reviewing a set in my sister size of 30G in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled!

Whether you're spending it alone or with your significant other, have a lovely Valentine's Day and don't forget to treat yourself too!
