Candy Stripes

December 9th, 2010

We’re premiering the striped pieces early–they were just too cute to save for spring!

After scouring every fabric supplier who would even talk to me, I finally found some stripes that I like.  It was like the Goldilocks story: some were too wide, some were too ugly, others just didn’t come in the right quantity. I was pulling my hair out!  Then one of the LA suppliers came to the rescue, and voila! The striped pajama set is born.  The colors are cheerful (lime and white, turquoise and fuschia), just right to get us ready for spring. They really remind me of candy…

The fabrics are cotton jersey with 5% spandex to hold the shape nicely. We’ve cut the sleepwear pieces to be very fitted, so you even get a little support.  Heck, you could even layer them under your winter clothes, nobody would be the wiser. The leggings are so soft and smooth, they would work as tights in a pinch. Can you say roller derby?

Some nifty features that you may love: tulip cuffs that fall over the hand a bit. Feminine, a little retro. Colorful cotton twill tape ties allow for you to adjust the fit and keep the bottoms in place. No corrugated tummy from harsh elastic! Choose from flippy shorts or slim leggings…I like the leggings; somehow, paired with the tulip cuff, I feel like the Cheshire cat on the prowl.

So, stay tuned for additional photos, but meanwhile…have a sneak peek at the striped pajama set. The turquoise and fucshia color combination is coming soon, so if you just can’t wait, and we’ll get an order ready for you. (Same pricing and sizes as the lime/white striped).

Buying something as a gift? We’re offering Gift Wrap for free again, but remember: it only fits inside the longer shipping box, so choose Priority.  If you can’t decide on the size, consider a Gift Card.

Spring Blooms

Flirtini capri pants for Sweet Revenge Lingerie

Flirtini print capri pants

The trees are in full bloom, so beautiful and smelling sweet!

Why not treat yourself to a nightgown or pajamas with a cherry blossom print to herald warmer weather? The Flirtini print in dark pink, brown and green on white  is as fresh and optimistic as spring. The 100% cotton lawn fabric is soft, slightly sheer and will be cool and comfortable once we get into those hot and humid days of summer.

The shirred cup and ruffle detail at the hem are feminine and youthful, yet the slight sheerness of the fabric makes it a bit saucy, too.
