Peignoir Sets

Shopping for Peignoir Sets

You don’t have to be prepping for a wedding to buy a peignoir set. Whether you’ve started dating someone special and want to give them a nice surprise, or have been married 25 years and want to recapture that wedding-night mood with your honey, or even if you just want to lounge about feeling lovely and romantic – it’s all about indulging your fairy-tale fantasy.

Since the classic peignoir set lightly skims the body but isn’t otherwise fitted, it’s not something you necessarily need to try on before buying. Therefore, you can resort to the convenience of online shopping, allowing yourself a lot of leisure for choosing and comparison. So if you are shopping for something to wear on your wedding night, this is one detail that should make the preparation process a lot easier.

When you begin your search for a peignoir set, you should first decide what look you are going for. Do you want something traditional and romantic? Would you prefer something shorter and sexier? Do you want something very revealing or a bit more opaque? There’s a lot to choose from, and having some idea of what you want before you start looking will help you weed through the possibilities.

Vintage Sets

Since the look of a peignoir set is old-fashioned and evocative, you may want to focus on finding your perfect vintage lingerie. Unlike bras, girdles, garter belts, or anything that would have elastic and be subject to a lot of wear and tear, vintage nightclothes, if they were properly cared for, tend to hold up remarkably well. You can find lingerie from the 1920s, or even earlier, that is in better condition than some cheaply made modern stuff, and of course it is considerably nicer.

A lot of online shops carry wonderful vintage lingerie. One of the best is Silver Screen Loungerie, an Australian company that specializes in the sort of romantic lingerie worn by screen sirens of yesteryear. The two women who founded and run the site know a lot about the product and so can give you many intricate details. You can look at several pictures of a given piece, get measurements and ask questions. The prices are very reasonable given the make and quality, and the ordering is straightforward.

Another option for vintage lingerie that is a bit more recent is Heavenly Vintage Lingerie, where you will often find designer pieces at prices considerably lower than they would have been new, but still in mint condition.

Modern Options

If you want something a bit less expensive and more current, start at Pajama Shoppe, which carries a lovely selection of peignoir sets featuring everything from lace to silk to embroidery. You can be soft and romantic or show off dangerous curves, depending on your fancy.

Plus Size Sets

Speaking of dangerous curves, women wanting plus size lingerie can find some nice options at the Pajama Shoppe too. There are also a few choices at one of the more popular online sources for quality plus size lingerie – Hips and Curves. Currently, they only have three peignoir sets, and two of them are short, but the long lacy gown is one of those rare sets that comes in colors other than white or black – you can also get it in jade or red.

Whichever way you choose to go, be prepared to be romanced off your feet!
