Lingerie

Could anybody tell me the best place for buying sexy lingerie in Dublin? I've been a little out of fashion on that front for quite awhile and i've a special occasion coming up.

Please help!!

Personally, I like La Senza. They have a nice range most of the time and they carry a wide variety of sizes which is a big plus in my book. I also like Knickerbox's stuff.

If you want to spend a serious amount of money check out Susan Hunter in the Westbury Mall. Expensive but lovely silky things.

Or if you're a middling size, have a look in Brown Thomas' lingerie section they have a good selection if you fall into the 32-36 B-D size grouping. They're not so good for the bigger sizes or anything under an B cup for that matter.

I'd avoid M&S like the plague to be honest their sizes are all weird and they have no idea how to measure people properly. If you've not gotten new underwear in a while it might be a good idea to get measured again in one of the shops or do it yourself, as your bust size can fluctuate.

I know what size I am I can never stand going in and getting measured.

I think i'll check out that Susan Hunter shop it's a bit of a special occasion so I dont mind how much it costs.

Where abouts is the Westbury Mall? Sorry if not too familiar with Dublin?

Just bring home a nurses uniform and wear that, you won't need anything underneath

Sorry couldn't resist

The Westbury Mall is just off Grafton St, next to the Westbury Hotel.

Walk down Grafton St with Stephen's green to your back, the turn off towards the Westbury is about half way down on the left. It's the same street that has Bruxelles and the statue of Phil Lynott on it. I hope that helps, I'm afraid I'm very bad at remembering street names.

No that does help me thanx i'll try find it anyway.

Irish1 unfortunately for my fella my real nurses uniform isn't exactly like something you would find in Ann Summers.

I have done the Ann Summers one for Halloween so it's getting a bit old at this stage, although he wasnt complaining

I prefer a real one

Try Debenhams, they always do a really good selction or upstairs in Roches- they have the la senza range there.
I've never been to Clerys for underwear but id imagine that they would have a nice selection of stuff there aswell.
Never ever shop in Dunnes or Penny's for underwear but i have to say i actually quite like some of the stuff in M and S. But if this is a special occasion skip that and go to Debenhams.

Clerys' lingerie selection is a bit meh really. I've been in there a couple of times and there's nothing special.

and if you can't decided what you want, get a few things, take pics of you in them, post them up here and we'll tell you which are the best

Next do some lovely stuff, but I don't know which branches stock underwear, certainly the Grafton St one doesn't.

La Senza stuff is really cheap and tacky IMO.

M&S usually have some lovely stuff...i've never had a problem getting measured there before either.

You might be better off ordering from figleaves.com though, they have such a great selection! And you can find money off voucher codes for them here:

I personally think that Elle McPhersons range of lingerie is extremely pretty sexy and wellfitting, and also reasonably priced. They also do extremely sexy basques and corsets. Its available in Brown Thomas in a really wide range of size and Im sure you'll find something to suit your needs

no no, what you want is some of Kylie's Agent Provocateur

Brown Thomas' Elle McPherson range is scandalously overpriced. Well, so is all the stuff they sell.

My advice? Go see it in the shop, and buy it for a lot less online

Some great help on here thank you for all the replies.

I do kinda fancy getting a basque or corset so i'll cheak out Elles range in Brown Thomas.

Thanx for the link eht0_ very good indeed I was looking at figleaves website and they have some nice stuff but want I wanted was out of stock and i'm not sure if it would get here on time.

Thanx again everyone.

Marts i'll check out Kylies stuff too!

La Senza:)

La Senza is great and they're having major sales on atm!!!!

hi i have found really sexy lingere in miss fantasia and there is a place just if you walk past pearse st, garda st. keep on that side and continue following the road around to the left up a little there is a shop called ultimate lingere and the stuff is really classy and sexy., and she also allows to pay in installments. really comfortable. and the prices are reasonable,. and you also get a discount buying afew bits, just haggle a little too that always works. i know it sounds a little weird but keep your eye on penny's stuff they can have some beautiful baby dolls and basques and at such cheap prices you would never tell some of them look very exspensive.. just keep on eye in there too.

chump

figleaves!

I've used them many a time, ultra fast deliver and always can get vouchers. I haven't bought without a voucher. Plus they often have cut-priced deals... Good site too.

Is the shop in Grafton st just sh*t then? All they have any time i've gone in is very unremarkable bras, and pajamas..

tSubh Dearg

eth0_, They can be a bit hit and miss, I've gone in a couple of times and found nothing I want to wear, but then a week later I will find 3 or 4 bras I like and they're in my size. I'm at the bigger end of their range, in fact the bigger end of most ranges, and I like that they have such a comfortable fit and will nearly always have the bra I want in my size.

some good cheap stuff in h+m but brown thomas if your tastes are on the more expensive side
