So our wonderfully delightful Dita Von Teese brings out another lingerie collection. This new collection called Von Follies, is vintage-inspired and includes bras, high-waisted pants, garter belts and corselettes to "give the essence of the sultry Fifties glamour girl," according to the press release. (see here )
I am the first to admit this line doesnt do it for me. Unlike her previous collection which oozed sex appeal with its reds and strong lines this is something I would find on the hangers at high street brand La Senza. I long for Dita to do something in pale silks, with chemises and playsuits... reminiscent of the old Hollywood glam she exudes.
Sorry to say this collection misses the mark for me though the sizing is an improvement as it is now available in a size 18 but only up to E bra cup. Come on Dita...know the competition. La Senza though not always the best quality is cheaper and in this day and economic climate who isnt going to head there instead?1 I would love to buy Dita's set if not simply because I am a fan and expect superior quality but sadly I wont be buying it to wear...I am a 36F.
