Review: Velia Contour Bra and Thong from Simone Perele

I must admit, when I think of luxury lingerie, my mind almost immediately goes to brands such as La Perla or Chantelle.  Otherwise I think of some of the newer brands on the market that are doing such an amazing job pushing the more traditional brands and revolutionizing the industry.  Of course then, there in the middle, is Simone Perele.  In the luxury lingerie market for over 60 years, they are certainly no newcomer.  Yet in terms of luxury, design, and detail, they are every bit the equal of the designers that seem to roll of the tongue a bit more quickly. 

Over the past few weeks I've been fortunate enough to try a few different Simone Perele products.  I must say they've left me nothing short of stunned with their quality, fit, and design.  Whether you're looking for elegant, sexy, or functional, you'll be able to find just what you're looking for somewhere in their huge range of products.  The other thing you can count one, when you do purchase something, is being more than satisfied with the quality.

The Velia collection definitely falls under the functional label.  If you're looking for radiant colors or delicate laces, you might want to look at one of their other products.  But if you're looking for something that goes with everything and can be worn on virtually any occasion, this is the set for you.  You can count on a ton of wear and a lot of comfort without breaking the bank.

The Countour Bra features underwire, molded cups, and a deep plunge neckline that give shape without overdoing it on the uplift.  In addition, its super lightweight allowing you to wear it all day long with no discomfort whatsoever.  It's advertised as being for every body type, and I would tend to agree.  If you need a little more shape, it'll provide that for you, but it won't give you anything you don't need.  The bra is made of a micromesh, giving it a bit of transparency.

The Thong is one of several different options to make the matching set.  It is low rise, sitting on the hips.  It is also a stretch tulle and lightweight.  It is invisible under clothing and very comfortable, between it's light weight and ability to mold itself to any body type. 

While I've purchased several pairs of Simone Perele panties in the past, this is the first matching set I've purchased.  I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of basics.  It's a slight uptick in price point from what you may purchase at department or mall stores while being a huge upgrade in quality.  If you're looking to upgrade your lingerie collection, or if you're just looking for another set to add, this collection is a great place to look.
