As we mentioned last time, the new year, for us at least, has come and gone and this has lead to our great inventory unboxing party. And boy do we have new designs to share with you.
And we’re not just talking about bras either. You’ll find new lingerie along with sleepwear, hosiery and fashion pieces too.
We’ve now stocked our drawers with new designs from:
So if you’ve been thinking about a new colour or a new style to slip onto your silhouette for a special occasion, now is the time to drop by for the best selection.
Voilà! is a long-time maker of fine hosiery. Designed in Canada and made in Italy, a new pair of Voilà! can update your look in a snap.
And we don't just stick to plain pantyhose with Voilà! No, we venture into the special and seductive territory that Voilà! does so well. To the right you'll see an example of this in the Voilà! fishnet stayups. These stockings feature a double-wide silicone band with lace to keep the fishnets from slipping during the day - no garter belt required.
But some people want the va va voom without the feature of a stayup. For these people Voilà! makes pantyhose with backseaming. Trendy and retro, the look of these pantyhose are sophisticated, yet sexy.
Try the fishnet with a longer boot and the backseamed design with a short bootie for a truly fashionable look. (Click on the image for a more detailed view.)
The term "stockings" refers to a garment that covers the foot and lower-leg, while pantyhose actually refers to the toes to waist garment that women commonly wear now. These terms are currently often used interchangeably. Pantyhose proper weren't introduced into the market until 1959 and became a fashion necessity in the 1960's with the popularity of the mini-skirt.
We've come a long way since hand-sown silk, and stockings are now a fashion piece in their own right.
Trasparenze
Trasparenze is an Italian company, and while they offer a full-line of stockings, we bring in their particularly seductive pieces.On the right, is an example of a provocative Seisho design. This is one of our most seductive offerings as it appears to be an outfit of stockings, panties and a garter belt, but it actually is a one-piece pantyhose. This is sometimes known as garter hose. It is an 80-denier material, thick enough to hide any leg or thigh blemishes.
On the left is a Trasparenze JKay stay-up. It's more sheer in a 20 denier and sports red criss-crossing ribbons with a buckle at the thigh and ankle.
(Having trouble keeping track of your deniers? The larger the number, the more opaque the material. Most everyday sheer stockings are a 20 denier, but keep in mind each company's idea of a denier is different. More stocking and lingerie information can be found here.)
Voilà
We have carried Voilà in our stores for years for their everyday looks as well as something a touch more daring. Below an everyday pantyhose is shown with the ever-popular Voilà fishnet stay-up.
Philippe Matignon
Searching for more coverage? No problem, we can help you there too. Philippe Matignon offers a tight that is all the way at 180 denier. No need to have cold legs on a cool Vancouver Island morning this winter.
In-store, at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we have many more designs to suit any outfit or mood because whether you like coverage to your thigh or your waist, whether you're using them to seduce or stay warm, stockings are just another type of underwear that matters.
And we’re not just talking about bras either. You’ll find new lingerie along with sleepwear, hosiery and fashion pieces too.
