Due to have longawaited weekend away with DH next month. Children age 4,2 and 8monthhs and we get very little time as a couple. Wonderful friend has decided to visit and look after children whilst we celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Really want to surprise him -booked waxing, spray tan, now need sexy but stylish underwear - really thinking complete basque and stockings number but all suggestions welcome. Any advice?

errrr, none?

I've often wondered why the models wear the suspenders over their knickers. As soon as you try to take them off, they're going to get stuck surely? .

oldlady40 · 10/05/2008 23:19

Ah Yes Agent Provacateur stuff is lovely but my post babi(es) boobs won't fit!! As for the second suggestion by Mild Mannered Janitor - well what can I say!! I said sexy,stylish!! Any help for bigger boobs helpful. Tend to stick to sexy bras now and nice pants but really would like a fun weekend and to remind my DH that I am not just a wonderful mother but also a great wife !!!

oldlady40, are you sure agentprovocateur no good? I am a 32E which admittedly AP don't do but can wear their 34F bras.

Mild mannered janitor you are full of good ideas. will definitely look at bravissimo stuff. Have bought from them in the past but forgot they didn't just do bras. Maidamess I know what you are saying but surely some of the fun is in making the effort. I really am looking forward to this weekend and this searching for something special is as much for me as for DH.

yes really like black, try to think of other colours, but always come back to black. Will flatter my tan! Shoes hadn't really thought about that. How come you are such an expert??

What would you do about shoes? I don't want to frighten him !!! Really want comfortable but sexy and flattering basque or similar - have stockings and yes maybe some nice shoes. We are off out to a restaurant on the evening and plan was to get back to hotel and surprise him.

well it could be just bedroom underwear. thinkging of going out then might come back to hotel and disappear into bathroom and prepare!!! lots of body lotions, potions etc and voila - sexy underwear. Am trying to plan this but will probably end up with vomiting children the week before or similar and end up going away with creased clothes and M&S faded knickers!!

this is inspiring! am away with dh overnight to a wedding with no kids but in reality we'll be too tired or we'll both pass out......and relish completely the idea of a full nights sleep with no children in our bed!

Oh no Hana. I am looking forward to the lie in in the morning and perhaps not evening bothering with breakfast when usually awake at 6am with children - but desperately want to have fun in the night. Really feel like early days again - want to get outfit right, mood right, and loads of sex!! Will probably crash out and sleep but can only try.

that sounds good to me too!!
figleaves has some great things too, have been looking for the past half hour or so

oldlady40 · 11/05/2008 00:21

have looked at figleaves, bravissimo etc and all stuff is lovely and pretty but really want sexy but not tacky IYKWIM. Agent Provocatuer gorgeous but my boobs are 36F so they would be falling out of the top. Hard to find sexy stuff that isn;t tacky. Will keep looking. Mild mannered Janitor is on the case too!. I think I have this vision of myself emerging into the bedroom looking gorgeous in some vampish outfit - in reality DH will probably be exhausted after hectic week at work and will be snoring!!!
