1. “Bronte” by Fauve
Bronte has been a quiet new favorite from Fauve, popping up earlier this year in an unusual, vibrant orange. Longline bras will always be popular amongst some customers, but I have to admit the orange had the potential to be polarizing. And then this stunning silver appeared for Autumn/Winter, and it is the most beautiful, Snow Queen-appropriate lingerie I can’t even handle it.
“Bronte” Padded Longline Bra, Thong, and Suspender by Fauve. $112, $45, $56, respectively. Available in sizes 30-38 D-G (UK), XS-XL. Plunge balcony version (no longline) available in sizes 30-38 D-GG.
SEE? It glimmers. It gleams. It takes a lot for me to get super-fired-up about very pale or white lingerie, and I LOVE this. And if icy loveliness isn’t your thing, there’s also a gorgeous Jade color.

“Marcie” Babydoll in black by Cleo, matching brief. $70-75, $29- respectively. Available in sizes 28-38 D-J (UK), XS-XL.
Next up is Curvy Kate, with “Lola”, based on their lightly padded “Daily Boost” style. Unlike Marcie, Lola features a full skirt (Marcie is completely open in the back) with pretty satin edging, and (my favorite part) there’s an adorable matching sleep mask! It’s BEGGING to be wrapped up and given as a gift. It’s also available from size 28D up to a size 40K, a truly phenomenal size range.
“Lola” Babydoll, Short, and Eyemask by Curvy Kate. $48-92, $18-35, $14, respectively (Figleaves currently has all items, including the brief and short, on crazy sale). Sizes 28-40 D-K (UK), 8-20 UK (4-16 US).
Parfait by Affinitas has offered some pretty ground-breaking shapes for full-bust figures from day one. In their initial few seasons they carried multiple basques, camisoles, babydolls, and longline bras for D-G cups, and this year saw them expand three styles up to a K-cup. One of these is the beautiful “Alexis”, with semi-sheer lace cups (there’s a foam interior side sling) and a very, very soft sheer floating skirt. As with the Charlotte, I had to size up in the cups for a good fit, but it’s lovely and classic, and the crystal accents at the center gore make it a great special occasion piece.

7. ”Amelie” in Navy/Black by Miss Mandalay One of my favorite indie brands, one of my favorite bras, and one of my favorite color combos. Perfection.
“Amelie” in black/navy by Miss Mandalay. Available in sizes 28-38 C-H
8. ”Viola” longline bra and side-tie brief by Harlow & Fox I know the price on this beauty may not make this appropriate for everyone, but what an absolute stunner. Made entirely in the UK from the finest silk and Leavers lace, the whole collection gleams in silver, gold, and pearl, but this set is a real standout. The back closes with eight rows of hooks-and-eyes, and the briefs tie with oversized, luxurious silk ribbons. An absolutely magical set from an amazing debut collection.

9. Bonus item: Panache Sport in Red It’s maybe not the frilliest or floofiest, but this bra has seriously changed the way I feel about exercise, and it’s now available in festive red.
Panache Sport in Red, $65-68. Available in sizes 28 DD-H, 30 D-H, 32 C-H, 34-38 B-H, 40 D-GG
