Lulu and Lush's 'Alice in Wonderland' Collection Finally Unveiled!

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.

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.

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.
