A Garden of Winter Delights

Gardens in winter have a special drama. Their violet skies, bare branches, and animated winds suit our sleepy gothic mood. This is the time of year for a garden of black floral lace from Jane's Vanity. Evocative new arrivals create a sensuous winter landscape.

Marjolaine’s new Imprimé Fleurs Silk Chemise is a study in hibernal romance. It begins with a body of black silk, patterned with colorful flowers and hummingbirds. The bust is lavishly appliqued with corded black lace and embellished with covered buttons. More applique surrounds its hemline and ultra-high slit. Most charmingly, the upper back is made entirely of sheer black lace.

Taryn Winters strips it down to winter essentials with her Pamona Collection. The Gilded Lace Bodysuit features a sheer front of black metallic floral lace with cups lined for modesty. The flip side is a thong back made entirely of sheer black tulle. Let it blossom beneath the deep V of a cozy cashmere sweater. The Pamona Lingerie Set, balconette bra and hipster panty, is constructed of sheer tulle overlaid with black and gold floral lace. As with all of Winters’s bra sets, it supports while riding a bit low. The sexiest.

Karolina Laskowska echoes the colors of winter with her Thalia Corded Lace Monowire Lingerie Set. Minky taupe silk combines with paisley black lace for a little thrill. While the colors and textures feel earthy and essential, Laskowska’s design is sophisticated and innovative. Love the monowire concept, the high lace bandeau with ultra-adjustable back straps for fit, and the option of a separate High Waisted Panty.

Under your winter layers lies the promise of the new year. Cultivate this quiet time, dressed in lush black lace from Jane’s Vanity.
