Lingerie revealed at XESS

Some days you chose your frilly, lacy undies. Some days you’re all cotton and spandex. But then there are those times when you’d like to be a bit more risqué.

Skimpy brassieres in a floral motif of lace, satin models with Swarovski crystal studs along the straps, delicate sheer lace and lycra corsets you can wear as inner or outer wear — you can feel what it’s like to dress like Lady Marmalade at XESS, the London boutique’s first exclusive store in Bombay.

They carry the seductive Argentovivo and Christie’s labels, as well as their own brand (which you may have seen previously retailing at Ravissant).

Trendylicious loved their glamorous bridal range in blacks, whites and nudes. Go for diamante-studded bras and g-strings, lace thongs that tie up on the side, or satin negligées in floral prints.

In case this wasn’t enough to get you into the mood, the store’s baroque interiors surely will. With the purple and gold brocade on the walls and the dazzling golden furniture and racks, you’ll feel transported to an exotic boudoir.

A lingerie drawer says a lot about a woman. What does yours say about you?
