Playful and exquisite, Lulu and Lush’s Alice collection captures the essence of the elegant and curious little girl, who finds herself drawn down a rabbit hole and into her own Wonderland. The sumptuous powder blue satin, delicate spotted mesh, luxuriously soft tulle and twinkling charms delight the eye whilst spiral steel boning and powermesh provide structure and shape.

The collection features an underwired plunge bra, a http://fairygothmother.co.uk/fgm-alicecorset.htm, a longline powermesh girdle, a http://fairygothmother.co.uk/fgm-alicebustle.htm, a unique waterfall bed jacket, calf and ankle-length tulle skirts and two matching briefs.

L-R: Alice in Wonderland plunge bra, 32B-34D, £29. Alice mesh and heart cut-out knickers, S-XL, £18. Alice mesh and frill knickers, S-XL, £18.

With padded heart-shaped satin cups, the underwired plunge bra is both flattering and functional. The ruched white straps are adjustable and elasticated, guaranteeing a perfect fit. The bra features sheer sides in baby blue spotted mesh, and closes at the back with a hook-and-eye fastening. Complete the set with either the matching soft mesh and satin heart knickers, or sheer frilled brief.

In floaty, spotted mesh, the collared bed jacket with gathered frill detailing is as perfect on the beach as it is in the boudoir, and adds extra glamour to the lingerie set.

Alice in Wonderland bed jacket, S-L, £45. Worn over Alice plunge bra and heart knickers, as above.

The corset in powder blue satin is fully steel boned to comfortably reduce the waist by 4″ whilst shaping the hips and emphasising the bust. With a front metal busk closure and fully adjustable back lacing over a modesty panel, the corset is available in sizes 20″-30″ (suitable for 24″-34″ natural waists) and is trimmed with matching blue spotted mesh and tiny heart-shaped charms which catch the light beautifully.

Designed with curves in mind, the Alice girdle sits just under the bust and comes down over the hips to create a smooth hourglass silhouette. Created from powermesh and stretch satin, the girdle features a spotted mesh overlay and satin inserts on either side of the centre pannel to draw the eye to the narrowest part of the waist. Four detachable white suspender straps are provided to keep stockings in place, and the girdle is finished off with a satin ruffle and adorable ribbon bows.

L-R: Alice powermesh girdle, S-XL, £49. Girdle worn over plunge bra, as above. Alice overbust corset with heart trim, 20″-30″, £210, suitable for natural waists from 24″-36″.

The powder blue prom skirt reaches just below the knee whilst the pure white ballet skirt flares out to the ankle, emphasising the waist and picking out the satin bow detail of the corset. Both skirts feature layers of soft tulle netting lined with satin, a hidden zip and a satin waistband which enable the skirts to sit perfectly when worn with the matching corset.

L-R: Alice tulle prom skirt, UK 8-18, £150. Alice ankle-length ballet skirt, UK 8-18, £160 , also available in ivory and black. Worn with Alice corset, as above.

The full bustle gives Alice a burlesque twist, featuring lashings of hand-draped, beautifully soft satin and mesh. With front ribbon ties, the bustle can either be worn around the waist or lower on the hip and tucked underneath the corset.

L-R: Hand-draped Alice bustle, S-XL, £155. Worn with Alice corset and heart cut-out knickers, as above.

The collection was exclusively previewed on the catwalk during Old Spitalfields Market Fashion Week and at the Corset & Diamonds party in May where classically trained pianist and international burlesque starlet Chrys Columbine debuted the collection with a piano-playing striptease act.

Thanks to all the models and to Old Spitalfields Market for putting on the event.

If you’re in London and love fashion, then this is your lucky week! Old Spitalfields Market (home of our lovely boutique and a trove of vintage shops, cocktail bars and market stalls) is hosting a week of catwalk shows, Swishing (a clothes swapping event which works on the basis that your trash will be another person’s treasure), an Alice in Wonderland themed party and lots more!

The schedule is as follows: Monday 10th (that’s tomorrow!): We’ll be showing off our new Lulu and Lush collection on the catwalk as well as all the latest additions to the FairyGothMother website and boutique from between 12 and 2pm, so if you work/study in the City, Shoreditch or the surrounding area, pop down to see us at lunchtime. You’ll also get to see the latest designs from our neighbours at Jigsaw, Dr Martens, Area 142 and Agnes B. The show itself is at 1.30pm, and we’ll be offering a 10% discount at the boutique all day! Wednesday 12th: Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, along with a vibrant fashion show, 12pm-2pm. Also on Wednesday 12th, ‘Swishing’ is back by popular demand - Old Spitalfields Market will be putting on a Swishing event, where ladies can drop off their unwanted garments, shoes and accessories in the morning and return later in the day to choose someone else’s.

Swishing is clothes shopping, but with a twist - in Britain, we throw away more than two million tonnes of clothes a year, so swapping your unwanted items for someone else’s not only helps the environment but means you can take home some fantastic loot, guilt-free. Sounds like a winner to me!

If you’d like to take part, you’ll need to bring along at least one item of clothing, a pair of shoes or some accessories which are in excellent condition, for which you’ll receive a stamp. You can do this at the market between 7.30am and 9am. Come back at lunchtime (1pm-2pm) to browse the collection, and return at 6pm to ’swish away’ to your little heart’s delight until the event closes at 6.30pm. Want to know more? The swishing.org website will tell you everything you need to know.

There will be catwalk shows every day from Monday 10th May to Friday 15th, details of which are available on the Old Spitalfields Market website. If you’re not sure how to find us, here’s our address and a handy map.

Hope to see you there! x
