LINGERIE REVIEW
NEARER THE MOON BUTTERFLY LACE OPEN CUP BRA AND OUVERT BRIEF
Nearer The Moon is one of the first, if not the first, independant lingerie brand that taught me about the ins and outs of a piece of luxury lingerie. I have so much to thank Tilly at Nearer the Moon for, for her totally phenomenal designs and lingerie sets and helping us understand luxury lingerie and what goes into it. (She makes amazing time lapse videos of her pieces which really do show the reality of the time that goes into these pieces of underwear art).
The quality of Nearer The Moon is always utterly grand, I could not begin to fault the quality of Nearer the Moon because the precision is infinite and shows brilliantly with the eyelash lace on this set . Everything about the construction and make of the bra and the brief are exquisite; there are no loose threads or edges on any of the lace and not an out of line stitch anywhere to be found. The only moderately visible construction aspect is the seam at the front of the brief although personally I feel it ties in with the overall structure of the design so is therefore not notable or out of place.
Both the bra and brief are incredibly soft which makes it really comfortable to wear. This set is profoundly lightweight and would make for excellent everyday wear for the more daring amongst the lingerie community. I ordered a 32B and a small brief which fits me snug. I was originally concerned the halterneck wasn’t going to both support the bra and keep the lace flush but the whole design hugs me like it were custom made.
I find this cupless style and ouvert brief make me feel irrevocably sexy and combined with the very feminine lace, I feel both elegant yet inviting (which is also why I combined the bra with the ouvert brief instead of the mini knicker as I feel it harmonises much better). The framing of the breast on the design gives the appearance of both size and shape without me actually having a great amount of either and the combination of the lace around the main structure really accentuates that further which is a delight as sometimes smaller breasts can have an adverse effect with cupless styles.
The lace itself is just absolutely stunning. I always fall deeper in love with this set as the butterfly wing patterns in the centre is so very clever. I know that the lace on this particular style has changed since I purchased mine last year sometime, but I have no doubt in my mind the current variation would have no impact on how pretty this set was and still will be.
Nearer The Moon edges towards being slightly higher on the affordability scale but a purchase from Nearer the Moon poses your ability to have custom sizing should your sizing obscure from the norm. A little saving is so so very worth it. Although this isn’t one of my regular rotatory sets, it easily could be for some of you out there, for me it comes out for photoshoots and time in the bedroom more than regularly. I will always buy from Nearer The Moon and there will certainly be more Nearer the Moon coming to the blog in the future.
Mini Note: The snakeskin pasties are also Nearer the Moon.
