La perla why so expensive

Perfect for both lounging and a sleek going-out look with jeans and heels. This post was published at an earlier date and has since been updated. Up next, the new "granny panty" outfit everyone's wearing on Instagram. Agent Provocateur. Coco de Mer. For vintage-inspired pieces that will have you feeling your most glam. Kiki de Montparnasse. Fleur of England. I feel very Carrie Bradshaw. Proud of my outfit choices today. I honestly felt more myself than usual.

The lack of padding for consecutive days was actually pretty eye-opening. I used to see myself sans padding and be like, 'nope, definitely not.

That means my lingerie drawer is boring and mostly consists of nude and black bras and underwear. As in two cup sizes too small and two band sizes too big. I laughed when I heard my new size. In fact, many women wear the wrong bra size, according to my bra fitter.

Picking out my bra and underwear took so much longer than normal. I decide to go with my blue lace Stella McCartney bra and the matching silk and lace undies. A major upgrade from my normal nude bra and underwear. I instantly feel fancier. I always thought fancy lingerie was supposed to be really uncomfortable. This is a new record. I stop regretting my decision. Usually my bras ride up on my back I guess because I had been wearing the wrong size , but this one stayed in place all day.

I was pushed out of my comfort zone and it was for the best. This led to budget and luxury brands alike copying the style. All other factors identical, it's always better to purchase the actually iconic piece. For indie brands, is every item by the brand made by the maker? Olivia Von Halle 's luxury silk pajamas are impeccably tailored.

The brand has a strict Corporate Social Responsibility process, ensuring ethical processes from the factory floor to the sales floor. For factory-made lingerie, does the brand have an ethics statement on their website?

Are the garment workers paid fairly for their jobs? Do they have adequate time off? Are they given sustainable working hours? Not only do ethical manufacturing standards make lingerie more expensive to create, but if garment worker rights are important to you, the value of an ethics statement - or lack thereof - could be immense.

Maude Nibelungen 's hand-knit pieces are made to order by the designer herself. If it sits in your closet for years? Maybe that price would be better off split in half, for two less expensive sets that will make you feel beautiful every time you wear them.

My Creepyyeha pieces are some of my most favorite lingerie pieces, regardless of price. The aspect of value is so personal. For me, style is an important part of this equation. I love so many styles of lingerie, but I have a very specific personal style that brings me a lot of joy. Consider the style of the lingerie you want to wear, and whether or not any potential purchases fall in those guidelines.

Fit is a big aspect of this, too. If that dainty, diaphanous mesh bra makes you feel terrible about yourself when you put it on, first examine why you feel terrible in it! The Agent Provocateur Bethanie set is another favorite of mine.

It doesn't offer the best fit, but I still feel beautiful every time I put it on. Value is too subjective for me to tell you whether or not a piece of expensive lingerie is worth it. However, I can make an educated judgment on the quality, the style, the manufacturing methods, and the fit. With a little practice, you can, too.
