Viewing your favorite lingerie brands and purchasing them online became so much easier with lingerie videos from Laurela.com Now, not only you can view the lingerie collections in detail, but you can also have an enjoyable experience of picking the styles that you like without any pressure and advice from an annoying salesperson behind your back.

This spring is not going to be the first season when sailor theme and striped patterns continue to remain popular among fashion designers and across different brands. Whether you pick the sailor styles in the interpretation of Stella McCartney or prefer to shop on a budget and get Boston Proper version instead, the choices are yours and there are lots to choose from.

However, it has not been until this spring that the sailor theme has finally made its way into Lingerie Fashions, something we’ve been all waiting for. We are pleased to introduce a brand new “Elegance Rigate” lingerie collection from Lise Charmel, one of the finest French Lingerie brands. This collection was inspired by the so popular sailor trend with its striped patterns and casual summer laid back styles.

We particularly love the Off-Shoulder Chemise (pictured below). It is made of the very soft fabric with blue lace stripe prints all over and decorated with white floral lace and blue lace ribbon bow at the side – perfect for summer time off at home or on vacation.

Another gorgeous piece that we especially loved  as part of the “Elegance Rigate” collection is a timeless Contour Bra (pictured below), made of the combination of white and blue lace, with blue lace tripes appliques sewn to the white lace base. This very unique bra is accomplished with meticulous attention to detail, which is very common to all Lise Charmel pieces.

And finally, to compliment this Contour Bra, we suggest the most flattering panty style, a Lise Charmel Shorty (pictured below). The shorty has a sheer triangle central panel made of white lace and decorated with blue lace stripe appliques sewn over. Such charming details, as adjustable cinched sides, add a flirty touch to this piece.

This fall 2009, Lise Charmel has brought to us a wonderful collection done in pastel floral prints, called “Paris Sublime“. This elegant and feminine collection features such gorgeous pieces as Italian Bikini, Shorty and Demi Bra.
