Merry Holidays and a Joyous New Year

Well, we're pretty busy today as people pop by to pick up their final frocks for under the tree but we did want to take one moment to say:

thank-you.

Thank-you for supporting us this and every season. We wish the best and lots of hugs to you and yours at this special time of year.

We'll be seeing you in a few days so you can pick up what you need for New Year's.

Upper 5th - Up Late Tomorrow!

Gift Wrapping Available at Secret Drawers Lingerie

We at Secret Drawers Lingerie know how busy this time of year is. Between the decorating, parties, shopping, baking and visiting, one hardly has the time to sit down and make creations of tearable art.

That's okay; we've got you, and your gifts, covered. We have gift-wrapping available for purchases large and small. From a complimentary petite, silk bag, perfect for a pair of Hanky Pankys, to a giant box barely containing the warm plush of a robe, we're happy to wrap your gifts so they look as great as the woman you're giving them to.

It's just another way we're trying to make this holiday a more pleasurable one for you.

Best Lingerie Must-Haves for the Holiday

Last week we reminded you that Christmas was only 3 weeks away, and this week we have to decrease that number further. Yes, you now have only 15 shopping days until Christmas. So, Secret Drawers Lingerie is here to help. Today we present the holiday must-haves in the lingerie world (and check out our Best Gifts for Curvy Women as well).

1. Chemises by Mary Green

Mary Green makes must-have items all year long but at this time of year it's clear how perfect they are to pop into someone's stocking. Often 100% silk, these lace-adorned pieces will certainly put the fa, la, la into your holiday this season.

2. Spanx

Don't let Hollywood's little secret slip by, instead, wiggle into a pair of Spanx to minimize the tummy, back, bottom and even upper leg. It's what all the stars are wearing on the red carpet and it's what you should be wearing to your holiday fêtes as well for a smooth, sleek silhouette.

3. Pajamas and Robes

These two are perennial favorites at this time of year so shop now to get the sizing and selection you want. We've got several lines of robes including Canadian-made Diamond Tea and we carry several lines of pajamas (in both flannel and cotton) including BedHead. These are the perfect thing to wear Christmas morning.

4. Hanky Panky

The colours and varieties of Hanky Panky are endless but in addition to the thong, low-rise thong, retro thong and chemise, we are also carrying the perfect sleepwear set in a red that will brightly accentuate any Christmas tree. Also check out the Enchantment pieces, including a bralette that is perfect for the smaller-bosomed woman.

5. Silk Underthings

If you're headed up to the ski slope, a must-have for you is insulation, and nothing wicks away moisture while keeping you cozy like 100% silk. We've got silk long johns, tops, camisoles and vests.

6. A Man on the List? Get Him Naked

Naked is not just any underwear for men. These are underwear that use the finest Italian microfiber, an invisible waistband, flat-lock stitching and seamless construction for the ultimate in comfort. Naked is also eco-friendly and ethically made in Canada, which should warm your heart on these colder days.

Not Sure of her Size?

No problem. If she's been in before we probably have a client card started for her that lists what she has purchased and the size. We're happy to help you figure out the rest from there.

Can't Decide?

No problem, Secret Drawers Lingerie gift certificates are the ones that will make her eyes light up Christmas morning.

Warm Up those Cool, Winter Nights with Mary Green

Looking for a little extra red to pop into your wardrobe this time of year, something that Santa would love to see? Mary Green has anticipated this need, as have we at Secret Drawers Lingerie, so we bring you the Gloria printed burnout satin chemise with lace.

The Gloria by Mary Green features adjustable straps and is 70% silk and 30% rayon. The semi-transparent print and side slit makes this piece something Santa won't forget.


Another bias-cut beauty is the Nuala printed silk Georgette chemise, seen on the left. This gorgeous piece is 100% silk. This chemise drapes the body beautifully and flatters the female form. 

Mary Green chemise's seem to be endlessly popular and that's why we bring in new and varied designs. At this time of year they are perfect to pop in a stocking or slip into yourself and then wrap yourself in a bow. Find these two designs in sizes small through large.

Best Lingerie Gifts for Curvy Women

Christmas is coming. Hopefully, you knew that, but did you know that it's only 3 weeks away! Yeah. It seems awfully close to us too. So we want to help you out. We want to give you a gift guide for everyone on your list. Here are some great Christmas gifts for the curvy women in your life.

1. Hanky Panky Thongs (standard or retro)

Hanky Panky is a no-brainer for so many because once women go Hanky Panky, they just don't go back.

Find these thongs in a rainbow of colours - perfect to match a nighty or cami.

2. Hanky Panky Lace Camis (XS - 3XL)

They are made of 100% of Hanky Panky's classic lace. This means they stretch and flex with  every bend and are extremely comfortable - not scratchy.

Enchantment, Hanky Panky Style

Everyone loves the new Hanky Panky style; maybe that's because the name is accurate: it is enchanting. This is the Enchanted Lace line new, in-store now.

To the top right, is the Enchanted Lace chemise. It's glamour, mystery and sheer sophistication all topped with Hanky Panky's signature, comfortable lace. The chemise is available in sizes small through large and comes with a matching g-string.

To the bottom right, is the Enchanted Lace bralette. A bralette is just the thing for a smaller-bosommed woman who need just a little bit of extra support, not to mention added beauty and femininity. This Hanky Panky bralette is available in sizes extra-small through medium.

We also have the matching Enchanted Lace signature Hanky Panky low-rise thong.

Imagine the Softest Robe - then Double It

Today's addition to our Secret Drawers Lingerie stock is this new robe by German company Ringella. Sure, you might love it because of the leopard print, but the reason we love it is that it's the softest of the soft. It's made of micro-fleece that feels absolutely decadent to wear.

This Ringella robe falls just below the knee and has piping along the shawl collar, sleeves and pockets. It's very light to wear and don't worry about the occasional spill as it's easy to care for too.

We think you'll find this piece loveable, fashionable and functional. Join us in-store to prove it to yourself.

100% Silk. 100% Beauty.

People love Mary Green for two reasons. Firstly, it's the fluid fashion of its designs and secondly, it's Mary Green's reasonable price point. When these two marry, it makes for an undeniably appealing package.

Today's Mary Green design is the Jocelyn printed silk Georgette chemise. This is more than just your average flounce, this is something that will make you feel like you've walked right off the movie set of Casablanca.

Find this magnificent piece in sizes small through large. It is in 100% silk.

Non-Slip Footwear with a Fashionable Touch

A robe is great. A robe is essential, really, but it doesn't protect those tootsies from cold, bare floors in the wintertime. When Jack Frost nips at your nose, you don't want him nipping at your toes.

This is where NuFoot comes in. NuFoot are slippers that have a hundred uses. Keeping your toes warm at home are just one of them. These Mary Jane slippers are also perfect on the plane, cruise, in hotels, during yoga and anywhere else you need light, comfortable footwear with a non-slip sole.

These NuFoot slippers are made from neoprene and are water-resistant, germ-proof and anti-microbial. Pop these foldable, high-quality Mary Janes into your bag anytime you anticipate needing to give those tired feet a rest.

Do You Love Luxury? You'll Love Diamond Tea Robes

Diamond Tea robes are not your average fair. They are soft, luxurious, seductive and superior to most other brands. Once you try on a Diamond Tea robe, you'll instantly understand why people fall in love with them and actively search out the line.

We have several Diamond Tea designs, but this one zips up the front and has a highly-ornamented zipper pull. It has a slit to just below the knees to make walking and turning in bed more comfortable.

Find this striking leopard piece with black accents in sizes S-XL. And we warn you - hurry in now as these pieces are prime Christmas gifts.

I'll Have a Plunging Neckline, Merci

A demi-cup is perfect for many because it allows for a plunging neckline and promotes voluptuous cleavage. And today's entrance into this category is the Merci by Chantelle. It's a demi-cup in a soft, stretch lace inspired by the lotus flower.

Chantelle's Merci is available in metallic blue and we have the matching thong, boypants and Brazilian bottoms. These fine pieces were designed in France and don semi-transparent lace.

The bra has a distinctive bow at the breastbone and spaghetti straps with contrasting stitching. It's available in sizes B-E cups, sizes 34-38.

Bodysuede by Wacoal Being Discontinued

Wacoal has been making the Bodysuede underwire bra for years. The Bodysuade, in fact, has always been a bestseller for Wacoal. It's silky smooth and it hugs the body in a way that makes it feel like a second skin. It's been designed to flatter the fuller bosom.

Unfortunately, the Bodysuede in black is now being discontinued. We just wanted to let you know so you can come in a buy one while we still have a range of sizes. But don't fret. We have many more choices in black for the fuller bosom if your size is no longer available.

Time to Get Cozy with BedHead

Jack Frost is starting to nip and he's going to be here for a while so it's time to think about cozying up a little more around the house and BedHead is perfect for that. BedHead's fabric is known for its ultimate quality. It's 100% cotton in a class of its own. It cuddles you and will do so for years to come thanks to how well it wears. And remember, BedHead is completely machine washable.

First up, we have the BeadHead Black Picadilly Paisley Uptown PJ. These glamorous pjs will keep you feeling dreamy both asleep and awake. The exquisite cotton sateen fabric is silky smooth to the touch, and the flirty drawstring waist conceals a touch of elastic in back for added comfort.

The second design is in apple green, piped in hot pink and is called the BedHead Emerald Foulard Classic Cotton PJ.  This poplin pj is also made from the finest in crisp cotton and has a classic four-button top and a breast pocket. Find the same comfortable bottoms with a drawstring plus elastic at the waist. This is a classic look made more fun by the feminine detailing.

Each of these styles is available in-store now. Come and get them in sizes S-XL.

Zigging and Zagging with Hanky Panky

Have a hankering for more Hanky Panky? Luckily, we're not done talking about the new styles yet. Today's piece is called the Neutral Zoe Print unlined, scoop-neck, long-sleeve top and matching thong.

This Hanky Panky design is a neutral chevron print and is perfect for laying your fall looks. Mix and match the black, white, brown or even lavender from the design to put a zing in your wardrobe.

Find this top, made exclusively of Hanky Panky's classic lace, in sizes small through large.

The Avero - in Blue Bijou

The Marie Jo Avero is one of our best-selling bras - so much so, we've kept it in stock for years. You'll know the Avero from its classic tone-on-tone, checkered pattern on the cup and a striking, flowered strap. These are the straps you want to let slip out from your neckline.

This season we've brought in the Avero by Marie Jo in the fashion colour bleu bijou. And Marie Jo has kicked the design up a notch by adding rhinestones to the center of each flower on the straps.

The Avero is a seamless, underwire cup, which is one of the reasons it's so popular - it provides a smooth look under even thin fabrics. It's a formed cup, but it's not padded. The result is great support and gorgeous, round breasts.

Find this timeless and yet modern look in sizes 32-38, cups A-D.

Go Crazy for Paisley

As we said, we are very excited because right now we have oodles of new Hanky Panky in-store. Today's new piece is this paisley print chemise. Find this new design in Hanky Panky's incredibly comfortable rayon, jersey, stretch fabric.

This Hanky Panky chemise may make you go crazy for paisley in shades of black and grey. The scalloped, black trim adds an elegant touch to a fun print.

The Hanky Panky Paisley Print chemise is available in sizes small through large. Come in and try on this sexy piece today.

Perfect for Lounging - The New Kenan

Kenan, a design house from Vancouver, is one of our select makers of sleepwear. After more than a decade in the business, Kenan knows the female form and makes outfits that women love to wear.

Today we introduce two designs from Kenan's Frou-Frou Dreamcatcher line. This new arrival is perfect for lounging or for cozying up in under the covers.

The Frou-Frou Dreamcatcher pieces are in 96% cotton and 4% spandex so that they can stretch any way you can. The nightgown and the lounge set are available in sizes small-large.

Baby, You're a Doll

So much Hanky Panky, so little time.

We have a number of Hanky Panky pieces to show you in the upcoming days, but today's piece is an adorable black and white babydoll. This is the Love Bird Print babydoll with matching g-string.

We think you'll fall in love with this charming print and cute styling. This Hanky Panky piece has a scalloped, sweetheart neckline and a ruffled bottom hem for the ultimate in flirty femininity. This babydoll is approximately 28 inches long.

Find this babydoll by Hanky Panky in sizes small through large.

Enjoy the Sweetest Sin

The lingerie designed by Blush is some of the most seductive we've seen and their latest addition - the Sweetest Sin - does not fail to impress. The Sweetest Sin is comprised almost entirely of stretch, semi-sheer, floral lace with a scalloped edge and is the epitome of femininity.

This chemise hugs the body and works to create cleavage with a 1/4-underwire along the side and bottom of the breast. It has adjustable straps and no back closure.

We are carrying both the Sweetest Sin chemise and thong in teal. Find these pieces in sizes S-XL.

La Cera - Experts in Cotton Comfort

Some women prefer the slinky and some prefer something more appropriate for cuddling up after a long day's work. La Cera is an expert in this simple and classic type of gown.

Today we present the Sea Roses cotton ballet nightgown by La Cera. This gown features pink roses on a white background with accents of satin ribbon woven through eyelet lace both at the bodice and the ruffle trim.

We have both the long-sleeved and short-sleeved version of this traditional, 100% woven cotton piece.

Trasparenze Fantasy Tights

It's time to think about keeping those legs warm in the soon-to-be breezy weather. Trasparenze makes keeping warm a fashion statement with many varieties of stockings and tights like today's featured Fantasy tights.

These are high-quality tights that will get you through the back-to-back cool seasons in style. They are made of beautiful Italian yarn with an 80% cotton content for comfort and breathability.

New Kenan Lisa's Folly Luxe

Kenan. I suppose we mention this company a lot, but that's because it does a lot to bring women beauty, femininity and sophistication and today is no exception. Today Kenan's Lisa's Folly Luxe line brings us this two-tone babydoll set.

As usual, Lisa's Folly Luxe celebrates the female form and as usual, we can barely keep these Canadian silks on the shelves. Women tend to snap up the fine embroidery and luxurious fabric instantly. And the semi-transparent panel leaves just enough to the imagination on this piece to make it tantalizing.

Find this Kenan piece in-store in sizes small-large in an azure and black combination (shown in a different colour, sorry).

Oh La La

Young, hip and fresh is this new print by PrimaDonna - the Oh La La. This new design is being carried in Alice blue, which matches your favorite jeans perfectly. The Oh La La is an eye-catcher with its contrasting trim and retro bow.

This PrimaDonna bra has a molded cup with a small amount of padding, making the most of your bosom and providing a feminine, rounded curve. This bra offers great support and, unlike many molded cups, it fits many shapes like a dream.

We're also carrying the matching Oh La La brief which has a correlating trim and flat bow. It sits higher on the waist and has a high leg opening to make your legs look longer.

New Silk from Kenan

Today we offer a peek at a new chemise by Kenan's Lisa Folly Luxe. This piece is elegant and yet relaxed and lends itself equally to lounging as it does to slipping between the sheets. The high quality silk in this chemise drapes in a way that flatteringly skims the skin.

Two semi-transparent panels below the ribcage make the waist appear smaller while drawing the eye up to the bosom. Three-tone, floral embroidery accents these bias-cut panels.

Find this new Kenan chemise in sizes small to large in the stunning azure and black combination.

Make the Most of Your Full Bosom

PrimaDonna lingerie is known for many things but one of the best is the way they accent the full bosom and today's addition is no exception. Today we introduce the Belleville line.

The Belleville by PrimaDonna takes its cues from the floral patterns of art nouveau. It's highlighted by exceptional, multi-coloured embroidery details both top and bottom and the Belleville has extraordinary split straps that you just won't want to hide.

The PrimaDonna Belleville is available café glacé - a light and yet warm colour. The scalloped edges make for a unique look of contemporary luxury.

Find the PrimaDonna balconnet bra and bottoms in-store now. We have the brief, full brief and g-string (shown) bottoms available.

The Beauty of a Tattoo with None of the Pain

New in is a tattoo that makes us gasp for all the right reasons. New in is a design that embraces and enhances a woman's femaninity. New in is a piece that highlights and accessorizes a woman's form. New in is the Tattoo by Simone Pèrèle.

The Simone Pèrèle Tattoo is a stunning piece made of lavish embroidery. It's chic, sophisticated and yet classic with a floral design. It decries sumptuous mystery while still putting fashion forward.

Hanky Panky is Inspired by Greece, Just Like Us

More Hanky Panky hit the shelves last week - this time in a print inspired by Roman tiles. This design leaves us wishing we lived a little closer to Greece (well, okay, we always feel that way).

The featured mosaic print is available in a crossover bralette, camisole, boypant, thong and low-rise thong. The bralette is available in sizes XS-M and the cami is available in sizes S-L.

This pattern is a geometric print in a feminine palette and is perfect against the tanned skin of summer.

Come Here, Darling

New in-store is the Darling by Prima Donna. Part of their wedding line, this design offers contemporary comfort with a touch of traditional romance.

The Prima Donna Darling is in a soft, microfibre fabric with a tone-on-tone lace print both on the cups and straps. In nude, this piece disappears under many fabrics. Its three-section design fully supports, lifts and centers the bosom optimally.

We are carrying the Darling bra in sizes 32-38 cups C-F. The matching briefs are also available in sizes medium-large.

New Hanky Panky Print in a Bralette, Cami and Bottoms

In addition to the rainbow of colours we carry Hanky Panky thongs in, we also bring in some of their fun and funky prints. New in this week is the fantasy serpent design.

We're carrying this print in a camisole, sizes small-large, as well as in the boy pant, and regular and low-rise thong. The Hanky Panky cami is their classic unlined design with a scoop neck and the thong is, of course, the Most Comfortable Thong in the World.
