It's a bra I already own (but in a size I think will work better). It cost about the same as what I would get from LCL or Figleaves, on sale. And the vendor has a very high rating. The bra I ordered has got tags. Haven't received it yet but I may write more about the vendor/experience when I do. <br /><br />Just remember to size down one band and one cup size, by VOLUME, not letter, if you buy the Gem. So, if you're a 34D normally, buy a 32D.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-58570182090498895392012-10-17T15:44:55.448-04:002012-10-17T15:44:55.448-04:00Way late comment but I assume you'll see it-- ...Way late comment but I assume you'll see it-- thanks for the impetus to go bra shopping.

I just placed my order with LCL.<br /><br />I ordered the Freya Lacey bra & three different panties to go with it — based on your recommendation of this particular set. I also ordered a Fantasie Elodie bra in slate (though they didn't have panties in my size to match in the slate so I'll have to scour other sites for those). Can't wait to get them. I can be somewhat OCD with many things, now I can see myself getting crazy about matching bra & undies all the time!<br /><br />Now I'm off to reorganize my bra & panty drawer. I think one of the reasons I'm not wearing my nice bras and panties on a regular basis, and matching them, is because of the way I'm storing them. I have my bras in one drawer and my panties in another. Even then, I keep my most-worn bras in full view in my walk-in closet so I can grab and go when I'm getting dressed in the morning — which means the others stored in the drawer get forgotten.<br /><br />Thanks for all the bra/lingerie talk! Don't know about others, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

With black or beige bras I will wear non-matching (but not noticeably so) black or beige undies, but that's the only time I will break up a set. I'm kind of compulsive that way.<br /><br />I store them together, undies in front of bras. I fold everything small given the storage I have. But I don't wear padded or molded bras so they can fold small without damage.<br /><br />I will hand wash, I don't find it that onerous for a bra - if I need it and I don't want to do a load of laundry. Otherwise, I wash the bras and undies together, in a laundry bag, on cold and delicate cycle.<br /><br />The LCL people package discreetly. I threw out the packaging that most recently arrived but, if I remember correctly, they have a sticker that says LCL. And the shipping tag is discreet too.<br /><br />Hope this info helps!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-25476810126407157402012-10-04T13:32:10.555-04:002012-10-04T13:32:10.555-04:00I'm late to the party here, but I'm a fell...I'm late to the party here, but I'm a fellow busty who loves beautiful lingerie. I'm just getting into the whole concept of wearing matching bra & panties, but find that it requires a lot of thought and planning to pull off. Most days I still revert to my utilitarian cotton undies.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm curious about how you store your bra & panty sets. Do you put bras & panties separately or matched sets together?<br /><br />And what about washing? I don't have the time or energy to hand-wash so I will put my delicate bras in a wash bag & throw in the machine on the gentle cycle but just throw the panties in sans wash bag. I always wonder about these logistical things...<br /><br />One last question, as I'm considering ording from LCL. I live in a condo and I wonder how discrete their shipping package is. Does it actually spell out "LArge Cup Lingerie" so everyone who sees the package, concierge, whoever, knows what you bought, or is it more discrete?<br /><br />Sorry about the long post and all the questions but this is a subject dear to my heart — no pun intended.
