Santa Baby: Elomi Anushka Babydoll



This red and black number from Elomi is exactly the sort of thing I'd want to find in my Christmas stocking. (And I'm sure the wearing of it could be quite a gift for your significant other). When I first put it on I couldn't help singing some Santa Baby, and then, obviously laughing at myself. So when the team at Anushka said I could review something for them, I knew this was the one. Not only are the colours perfect for this time of year, but I got to add to my growing collection of babydolls - my new favourite type of lingerie.
 
 




I am having a growing love affair with babydolls. They are the perfect piece of lingerie for me, because when well made they are as supportive as a good bra on the bust, show off my legs and are forgiving on the tummy (which is something I am still quite self conscious about) especially when worn with high waisted briefs. Elomi make beautiful and well constructed pieces of lingerie for full figured women, and I have read many rave reviews about them in the past. I tried on some Elomi bras at The Curve Fashion Festival, and found them just as gorgeous and supportive as I had heard they were, so I was already pretty convinced that I was going to love the Anushka.






The bra section of the Anushka has a vibrant red base, with a black stretch lave overlay. The lace has a beautiful floral pattern which I think has a 1920s influence. The cups are padded (which is good for those of us with incurably perky nipples) and edged with a little lace border. There are black and red bows were each of the straps attached to the cups, and on the central gore. The cup is made of a three part construction, which gives the breasts a lovely round shape. The bra section fastens at the back with three hooks and eyes. The skirt part of the babydoll is a sheer black chiffon, also edged with lace. 






The Anushka baby doll is sexy and provocative, while still being incredibly supportive and comfortable. I am wearing the 40FF. To be honest when I first unwrapped it the cups looked impossibly large. One of my house mates actually put it over her head as a hat. But low and behold I put it on, and the fit was perfect. Apparently I am still suprised by the size of my own breasts. The band is snug but comfortable, and my breasts completely fill the cups (after a bit of swooping and scooping) with the central gore sitting flat against my breast bone. The cups give me a great rounded shape, and some lift. So despite my boobs being more empty towards the top, they look full in this bra. 

This is my first piece from Elomi, and I am really impressed. Beautifully made, supportive and sultry I think Anushka is the perfect addition to any festive lingerie. If you are interested in adding Anushka to your lingerie drawer, she is available on Figleaves

What do you think of Anushka? And what are you hoping to find in your Christmas stocking?
