Look no further, this beautiful Ivory long-line girdle by Kiss Me Deadly is just the lingerie you’re looking for. It is made in a medium weight powermesh that will smooth your tummy and hips to give you that hourglass silhouette under your clothes and giving it that extra special finishing touch it is decorated with gorgeous over-sized satin bows to the centre and the tops of the 6  wide garter tabs.

Silk Corsage Brief and Bra set by Playful Promises

New in!  We just love this cute pale peach silk brief and soft bra set by Playful Promises, with its ruffle trim and corsage detail it just oozes that feminine retro romantic look and feel. This is the silk set that Kiss Me Deadly photographed with the limited edition pink and grey long-line girdle and we thought it matched so well that that we would stock it at Joanna's Wardrobe. Although the pink Vargas long-line  girdle hasn't even arrived yet, you can pre-order  it at the moment, but as only a very small amount are being made and stock will be very limited, if you love it like we do, it is best to order yours now as they won't be around for long.

Royal Ascot

We were lucky enough to be in the Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, so we avoided the rain and the improper behaviour of Ladies Day. Despite having no idea about racing I managed to win quite a few times, mostly on the advice of a lovely, funny man called John Francome who seemed to know a bit about it.  But the main thing I learned was to let my husband put the bets on and then me collect the winnings. So lots of money flowed from his wallet into my purse – how good is that! I was definitely up on the day. I also met some really interesting and fun people, especially a new friend Jayne who as well as being great fun gave me some really good advice about online retailing. And I won a bottle of pink Moet too, so quite a good day!

The dress code in the Royal Enclosure is very strict and we were invited by business associates of my husband so my outfit was suitably smart, Karen Millen coming up trumps as usual with a summery floral dress and matching stilettos,  and a lucky sage hat and handbag combo find at a local boutique setting it off.  Joanna’s Wardrobe supplied the lingerie and nylons as usual, and I was particularly pleased with the Ivory Roll-on Girdle from Kiss Me Deadly – it’s definitely one of my favourites at the moment.  I’m not sure if it’s good etiquette to tell you any more than that given that it was in the presence of Her Majesty.

Roll-on Girdles by Kiss Me Deadly

It’s always a bit strange how light can play tricks with your eyes, well after having my Hourglass photo shoot I realised that I’ve put the colour for the Kiss Me Deadly roll-on girdle on the site as turquoise, but it’s definitely blue! Although the bra I matched it with was one of Kiss Me Deadly’s past collection bras, I could have so easily matched it with many other styles. After wearing it myself I would definitely recommend it as the comfort and fit was absolutely fabulous - with a great choice of colours I might just have to treat myself to one or two of these to add to my personal (ever expanding) collection of suspenders and girdles. These girdles are available in Black, Blue, Pink, Red and the a stunning new ivory!
