Peignoir and marabou slippers.

You can't go wrong with black lace. It's flattering.

I like Bare Necessities.

Here's a cute little gown that comes with thong underwear. On sale for 29.99. This might be too safe, but it's cute.

Have a look at Figleaves.

How about a nice lingerie bag to keep it all in? And maybe some fancy lingerie detergent?

If she's not the sexy lingerie type you could get her a beautiful jersey robe with a simple chemise, or bra and pants, that coordinates. This would definitely be appreciated by most, I would think. She'll probably wear it more often.

Or maybe I just want this robe.

Oh, that's cute, Lori.

Wintersilks has classic things.

What the heck is a lingerie shower and why does one have one (or more importantly, why haven't I had one? I Want everything from Bravissimo folks, the jammies, the colorful lacies, the shirts!)

I swear by a brand called Freja who have perfected a bra-model which provides perfect shapely support while still looking like you barely wearing anything at all since the lace is so delicate. Comes in new colors every season and sells out in an instant, because guess what, I'm not the only one who's discovered them. ;)

Speak of the devil, essexjan's figleaves link lead me directly to that sheer Freja bra that I'm talking about. That model is golden. *ka-ching* ooops, I bought another set.

This is a spin-off of the "bridal shower". My sister has already had two regular bridal showers- one thrown by my family and one thrown by his family- where she got all the usual stuff (kitchen, etc), so this shower is being thrown for her and her friends at school. I'm hosting in absentitia; my other sister is actually hosting at her apartment.

Outrageously trashy lingerie (which might embarrass her)?

So I suppose one of these is out of the question? ; ) (NSFW)

I can't decide, pips! Part of me wants to send a whole box of stuff like that (although I haven't been able to find a kit I really like), but it would probably embarrass her to get that in front of her (Christian college) friends.

Thanks for the link, brujita- this is what I ended up buying. I think my sister will like it!
