Analise has some new silks out, and naturally I couldn’t help but pay a visit and have a look for myself.
‘Shimmerina’ is the first offering, available in four colours. It’s a minimal and delicate set, composed of silk and sequins draped strategically for maximum effect. The bra top is trimmed with stones, pinched to the centre and banding around to the back. It is festooned with sparkling beadwork in a lattice pattern, encircling the upper torso. The panties are strung in a similar style, with white crystals accenting the draping skirt that flutters in multiple tiers both front and back, the silk hued in an array of colours to give depth to the translucent fabric.
The design is well drawn and wonderful for anyone who wants a less primmy set of silks. There is a slight alignment issue with the seam on the left leg, but when you’re kicking up your heels in a flurry of dance that’s unlikely to be a pressing issue on anyone’s mind.
‘Yasirah’ is a more traditional set, and comes in six colours. The bra top is made from sheer mesh, contained within a silver trim and accented to the front with an ornate brooch. The metal extends in delicate tendrils that snake above and below the cups, centred with a weighty lozenge. The silver bordering extends around the back for a strappy finish.
The panty straps are corded, with a sheer panel at the front bordered in more intricate metalwork. This meets at the back in a stud, with a metal belt overlaid to hold the trailing scarf that is emblazoned with matching print. Both arms and legs are cuffed, the metal encircling completely, finishing in several joined twists from which the patterned silks fly.
These silks and many more can be purchased from Analise: while you’re there, make sure you check out the lucky chair (presently occupied by Mr Claus). There are some pretty silks available in there for a limited period that cannot be bought from the store; Shimmerina in a very pretty frost shade, and a festive set that looks rather fun.
Shimmerina (Coral), $300L ; Yasirah (Black), $450L
