There’s literally no way that I can get any decent photos of this set taken - the lace used is Victorian and consequently is falling apart! I’m just going to have to take a poetic view towards the transience of this set of lingerie. Unfortunately it also means you can’t see how this would all work on the body (rather different to lying the pieces flat!) so here’s my best description: Bra - sheer cradle with adjustable harness style underbust straps. The bra is cupless with gathered Victorian lace frills across the bust, concealing most of the breast. Suspender - Back suspenders are Y-shaped and pull out the lace frills to sit as ‘fins’ on the hips. The band is made of stretch silk with a lace bow at the centre front. There are also tiny guipure accents on the centre front and lace fins. Briefs: Ouvert briefs with a cut out back - the bottom is framed on all sides by a gorgeous lace scallop. The gusset features tiny lace guipure accents. Quite a naughty little set but I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out! Just the thing to see the New Year in! ;)Design by Karolina Laskowska

Backstage at the corset and basque catwalk at university today. My final two outfits:- silk dupion underbust corset with silk satin suspenders and binding, layered lace appliqué and flossing, soft lace bra and french knickers with lace appliqué.- sheer basque with layered lace appliqué and silk satin trim.  Short briefs with silk satin panel and stretch mesh.I’m overall pretty happy with these pieces - especially the corset which I despised at one point when I was making it! Though the knickers and bra are spectacularly rushed so will never be spoken of again! Design by Karolina Laskowska

Suspender/playsuit designed to be worn over other underwear. Or not, if you’re really that kinky. Still in the sample/idea stage, DEFINITELY don’t want to be using white suspender clips if I bother developing it further! Design by Karolina Laskowska. Tumblr crowd, what do you think?

Bit of an experiment, colours have come out annoyingly wrong though. Sheer black meshes, satin elastic, golden satin bows and appliquéd gold Solstiss lace. Longline boned frame bra, waspie style suspenders and open-back high-waisted brief (with untieable bows!). Massive thank you to Sparklewren for the lace, I’m still getting overexcited by it! I feel like I need to do more with lace and get some more practice with it, hmm… Design by Karolina Laskowska
