The Rachelle Edit: Marlies Dekkers

Haven't heard of Dutch underwear designer Marlies Dekkers? You should have. Her bold, directional yet incredibly sexy and flattering designs have caught the attention of celebs and fashionistas alike - with a-listers from Victoria Beckham to Lady GaGa to Cheryl Cole seen sporting the styles.
The peekaboo cuts, directional details and intricate design seem almost too pretty to hide underneath clothes. Make like Victoria Beckham and pair the 'Dame de la Paris' bra with a high waisted pencil skirt and jacket over? Or try the 'Symphony of Lights' longline bralet with a floaty skirt?




My personal favourie range is the 'Dame de la Paris' in black, I own two of these styles and tend to pick up one or two from the sesonal ranges throughout the year, especially when the prices are reduced at the end of season sales, who can resist once they hit the £40 mark?!
Even if the 'underwear as outerwear' isn't quite your style & your undies are to be kept purely for your eyes only, its still well worth investing in the quality pieces purely for the amazing fit and flattering shape. When do you feel better than when you know you look bloody hot underneath that dress? You never know when you may be hit by a bus... With these saucy numbers it'll be the paramedic needing the CPR! 
With flagship stores right across Europe, from Amsterdam to Paris its an excellent treat for yourself & a loved one on a romantic city break. Fear not if you arent so lucky to be whisked away in the next five minutes, aswell as the online store the new boutique opened in Harrods last week. You can thank me later...
