Wild Orchid

This place always has such a great window display I finally found the time to drop inside for a look. Wild Orchid sells beautiful lingerie and sleepwear — the sort of pieces that you fancy yourself in everyday but know that would be a luxury. The store itself is quite small and the grandeur of the window display makes it a bit of a let down. The best pieces are displayed in the window and inside is more basic that you may have been led to believe. The obligatory CK is stocked here but so are boutique labels I haven’t’ heard of like Spencer & Lacy and Love & Lustre. The store assistants are a bit funny too — not one of them said hello or welcome even as I made eye contact!

Wild Orchid is a family owned and run luxury lingerie and sleepwear shop in Mosman. The beautiful and helpful dark haired girl at the counter is very friendly and makes you feel at ease if your somewhat nervous at seeing yourself in the mirror with lingerie on in the middle of white-​leg, comfort food indulgent winter.
Wild Orchid do bra fittings of course but know that most of the bras are upward of $ 100 (one stunning push up I noted was $ 500). You get what you pay for as they say and the fabulous lacy numbers will certainly add a little perk to your day (and your cleavage). They also have a good range of seamless knickers including organic cotton ones for $ 14 (so soft — I love them).
The boutique stocks a huge range of brands including La Perla, Aubade, Chantelle, Le Mystere, Lise Charmel, Simone Perele, Déshabillé, Mimi Holiday, Elle Mcpherson, Nearly Nude, Berlei and Calvin Klein — and that’s only some of them. They also have Hollywood Fashion Tape, Perfectform silicone inserts and stick on bras, silk pillow cases and eye masks.
