Lingerie - The Ace Up Your Sleeve

Have you ever received a last minute social invitation you just couldn’t say no to? You know, the sort that has you rushing out during your lunch break so that you can go buy that little black number? Inevitably, as girls do, we find said perfect little number, yank it over our work clothes to make sure it will do, and then with a quick swipe of plastic race back to the office, just in time for that all important board meeting. You think you have it under control. That is, until you realise at the eleventh hour, standing in front of your mirror, that your granny panties and wash day bra have turned you into the all time frump.

Your look is ruined by panty lines and an ill fitting bra and the dress now looks as impressive as a Salvador Dali painting left out in the rain. Ladies, never be caught out like this – be prepared and make sure that your lingerie drawer is well stocked with beautiful, fitting and very sexy lingerie, what ever your fetish, be it satin or lace!



You see, beautiful, well fitting and gorgeously sexy lingerie is absolutely paramount to creating that sophisticated, streamlined and polished look. So many women mistakenly believe that underwear is only important if you’re planning on getting your glad rags off. With the right selection of lingerie, your wardrobe is going to take on a whole new look. There is no excuse for a good dress to look bad because of rubbish underwear. Investing in some sexy lingerie is quite an adventure, there is simply so much to choose from, such as corsets, teddies, bustiers, silky stockings, chemise, thongs and g-strings, and the list just keeps on going!

Matilda’s Secret Lingerie Tips

If your summer look includes wearing loose fitting dresses, a pretty chemise would be the ideal item to wear for added modesty and will create a lovely drape underneath your outfit.

For that figure hugging frock, a corset or bustier is the way to go. Not only does your cleavage get a boost, your waist too will be tucked in creating a seriously sexy silhouette.

These days, corsets and bustiers are sometimes too beautiful to be worn underneath clothing and are an outfit in their own right. Be daring and flaunt your figure with a pair of jeans for a sexy new look!

If the gym is not flattening your tummy fast enough, nothing beats a bodysuit or a sexy teddy for creating a streamline effect under a pencil skirt.

There is absolutely no excuse for the dreaded VPL (aka visible panty line). Little lace thongs and sexy g-strings are all designed to ensure this fashion faux pas never makes its appearance amongst tight fitted pants or skirts.

If you’re going to a conservative event, but you so desperately want to wear that gorgeous blouse with the daring neckline, then we suggest a delicate lace camisole to create a classy, feminine touch.

So ladies, no excuse, there is something for every outfit out there and don’t forget that your choice in lingerie is as important as your outfit. Be brave and look beyond the plain cotton bra and panty set and explore the fantastically wide range of sensational lingerie Matilda’s has on offer.

The Idiot's Guide To Buying Lingerie

Of course the first thing to remember when buying lingerie for someone special is that it’s not about you. Your credit card and fantasies may be playing a big part in the purchase, but ultimately, it’s your lass who’s going to don the sexy lingerie. Essentially is she is a girly girl with a love for sugar and spice and all things pink? In which case rubber vinyl and a matching ball gag may get you as far as the curb with a restraining order in pocket!

Secret Agent Mission: Scope out Lingerie
We recommend that you take note of what she likes to wear, which items are her favourite or which lingerie ads take her interest and which sexy lingerie appeals to her. Is she partial to body hugging corsets or frilly babydolls?

Cup size crisis? Simply venture a peek into the naughty lingerie drawer whilst the missus is taking a shower or flash a glance at the size label as you’re peeling off the layers! Although with the best intentions at heart, many a man has hit a sensitive nerve with their lady love when presenting some saucy lingerie which was either too small or too big! Check and then double check sizes and stay out of the dog box!

Keep in mind that not all women are one hundred percent proportionate. Just because your girl may be small on top does not mean things fare the same for her derriere! Some ladies, although modest in the bust department, may have a sizeable booty. Nothing kills romantic intentions more than alluding that your love’s bum is even bigger than you thought!

ASSTASTIC
G-strings, Thongs, Brazilians and Boy shorts, enough to distract a man in a heartbeat! But, do you know the difference between a thong and a g-string? Most importantly, what does your lover prefer? Simply ask yourself this: how much of her bottom can you normally see?
Think back a little and you’re bound to find the answer! Is it:-

Answer 1: All of it – she’s a fan of the sexy thong (You lucky man!)
Answer 2: None of it – she likes the fuller panties- Brazilian boy shorts, Ruffled Knickers
Answer 3: Her panties are being eaten by the bum monster - you’ve picked a G-string

BOOBALICIOUS
Time to figure out if your girl goes for padded, sheer or bikini style bras! Take some time out to admire (whilst actually making some mental notes) her bra the next time you get cosy. Yes, her bra guys, the bra! We’re not talking about taking in the sheer wonder of her cleavage here! If her breasts seem a bit larger than you remember from the last time she was in the buff, chances are she’s wearing a padded bra.
Now that you have the sizes and small details in check, it’s time to decide which style would suit your partner. You didn’t think sizes would be the end of it did you?

CORSETS & BUSTIERS KNOW YOUR B’S FROM YOUR C’S.

Our modern day Cinderella is getting all dressed to the nines with operation “Prince Seduction” in her sights. But she is at a bit of a loss, for she has two draw dropping secret agents from which to choose, a slinky silky bustier or a lace up, black corset. Enter fairy godmother, her name of course, Matilda! Now Matilda the fairy godmother is quite an ace when it comes to some saucy advice so, to try help out our damsel in sexual distress, she offers up some insider information so that dear Cinders can make an educated and effective sexy lingerie decision…

Remember your B’s – Bountiful Breasts Behold the Bustier!


Bustiers; these undercover lingerie agents are all for taking your breasts to new heights – literally. Whether worn as a bustier top or as an undercover bosom builder, bustiers are figure forming garments which push up your breasts creating the sort of cleavage that will render men helpless – they just won’t be able to tear away their eyes! Remember that bustiers were made with breasts in mind, so don’t expect much in the waist reduction department. Style and fabric dependent, bustiers can also be worn as a sexy top – with superb cup definition, your breasts will be the best dressed in town. Add some thigh high silk stockings, a gorgeous garter belt and you’re on the road to immediate seduction.

Don’t Forget Your C’s – Curvy, Classic Corsets



Too fabulous for words, corsets are great for getting that sexy hourglass figure, the svelte silhouette which makes men weak at the knees. Although corsets are not known for their outstanding comfort, they do offer the sort of results that will make you happy to shrug off the possibility of a little discomfort. Corsets define and cinch in the waist, sometimes reducing the appearance of the waistline by as much as two inches! Now that’s nothing to dismiss! What’s more, the corset bra was designed to push up the bust creating a deeper cleavage, but unlike the bustier isn’t known for superior cup definition. Sturdier than bustiers, corsets will tuck you into an elegant and classically curvaceous figure.

Regardless of whether you’re a dominatrix looking for an under bust corset or corset brassiere, or a hopeless romantic after a vintage lace-up or a classic corset top or even a new bride with an eye for a bridal corset to turn up the heat on her wedding night, you can be sure there is a corset out there with your name on it.

It goes without saying that Matilda’s stocks the very best in both bustiers and corsets in her luxury lingerie boudoir, so stop on by and get yourself a little lace something to get those boys feeling more than just a little perky.

Lingerie Weapons of Mass Seduction

The Lingerie Diaries

It’s Friday evening and Jane heads to the bar to order a martini. Shaken, not stirred. As she leans onto the edge of a cocktail chair, her skirt rides ever so slightly to reveal a classy suspender and every man that watched her enter the room has to catch his breath. Call them weapons of mass seduction, sexy lingerie act as secret agents which feed on men. Move over Bond, tonight, it’s all about Bustier, Jane Bustier. And all she wants is conversation... and by conversation, she means pillow talk.

For centuries women shimmied their way into garments that reflected the fashion trends of the time. Lingerie designers have left a remarkable legacy; many of the original concepts continue to inspire modern designers. In the twenties, it was very en vogue to have a flat chest – the perfect form on which to model the seductive chemise. The forties arrived and it was all bustiers, suspenders, garter belts and seamed silk stockings – the sex sirens were coming to town!

The Merry Widow Corset came into play a decade later, designed to plump up the cleavage and tuck in the waist, this particular corset comprised of more metal than a modern day one man tent. Take a leap into the future and Madonna wails on stage about being a virgin and has seemingly strapped two ice cream cones to her chest. The latter trend didn’t stick around very long and for his we are eternally grateful. Sexy lingerie has certainly evolved and now women have access to an incredible range of creations to distract and seduce.

The Return of Retro Lingerie

Defeated, Bond invites our seductive agent Jane Bustier to hang back in the cigar lounge and enjoy a few more martinis. Leather couches and retro styled decor reveals our Jane slightly dishevelled, her captivating cleavage spilling out from what he is sure is a satin and lace corset...? Bond swallows hard... All he can think about is her silky skin.



Burlesque and fifties sex siren, pin up lingerie has inspired a new generation to nostalgically embrace an era of romanticism and dramatics. Made increasingly popular by the likes of Dita Von Teese, followed in hot and steamy pursuit by Xtina and then Eva Mendes, a fresh new retro style of lingerie has taken hold, celebrating sexy and feminine women who are in control of their sexuality.

Matilda’s offers our hot romantics everything they need to sate burlesque desires, from corsets, camisoles, garters and garter belts to suspenders and bustiers. Live your fantasy and take the show home!

Regardless of the fetish, Matilda’s will equip you with all the lingerie you need to raise temperatures, hold interest and allow you to do what you do best... seduce.
