You'll be pleased to hear that I haven't abandoned the cause. I am still on the search for sexy thermal lingerie. In my original post I gave a few stockists for you to try. Here are a few more.
The best so far come from Marks and Spencers (M&S). I can't believe this is the case and am gutted I haven't found anything better, but despite my childish need to rebel against the store my mum used to buy my pants and vests from, they do indeed do comfort very well.
Coming a close second are Figleaves.com. My new favourite on line store for all things pretty and girlie. When you buy from this store the goods come lovingly wrapped in tissue paper. Lovely.
Finally John Lewis are fighting their corner. I hadn't thought to search their site until I was reminded of their greatness by their recent Christmas advert. A quick search later and I realise they are giving M&S a run for their money.
The thing is... although all these thermals look comfy, the general consensus by manufacturers seems to be that a little bit of lace round the neck of a camisole is all we need to turn warm comfort into sexy.
It's still not really doing it for me. And I'm not alone. There is even a facebook group called "Lap dancers are needing sexy thermal lingerie". Whilst I am not a lap dancer, I empathise with their plight.
It's so bad I couldn't even find an appropriate picture for use with this post!
Come on you manufacturers! Get working on it!

Thermal Lingerie!? Hot vs Hot?
Hot (Sexy) versus Hot (Warm and Cozy)
This week the temperature has suddenly dropped. Our central heating has jumped into action and my skin is already starting to dry out when faced with such a radiator warmed atmosphere and sudden plunges into 5 degree Celsius weather when stepping outside. (Find winter skin care tips and beauty bargains here)
And I am faced with an ultimate challenge. A challenge which, two years ago, contributed to me starting this blog in the first place. The challenge of being yummy.
It's cold. At 11pm it's particularly cold because our heating is programmed to turn itself down to 10 degrees Celsius (frost protection) on the assumption that we are usually tucked up in bed by this time, with appropriate quilts, blankets and hot water bottles as required.
So how do I get sexy, or even begin to feel sexy, when the only nightwear that appears to exist for this time in the year is the most unflattering kind ever! And not only are the pjs that are available not particularly sexy unless adorning model size women; on me, who reaches the heady height of 5 foot 6, standard sizes look ridiculous after a couple of wears, as the legs creep up to hover around my ankles. I look like the most un-sexy individual you can imagine. Wrapped up in ill-fitting pjs and an over sized thick woollen dressing gown.
So I figured I'd do a search for "thermal lingerie". I thought that it must exist... I assumed it includes lycra, and probably still leaves the legs to fend for themselves. But maybe, just maybe, I could get hold of a comfortable nightie or slip that includes a bit of that fabulous technology that makes it warm.
My favourite site (La Senza) quickly returned a 'zero' result to my search. The top result on Google was SkiMania, a site, which as the name suggests, provides thermals for use whilst skiing, not for turning up the heat in the bedroom, unless you are into black ill fitting all-in-ones.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised by the offerings at Belladinotte who have thermal camisoles that actually also include a touch of lace. Page dutifully bookmarked.
But that was it. I rejected the next 10 offerings off Google and was unsurprisingly fed up. It cannot be that hard (and won't be with these being the only offerings) so why is it so difficult?
When La Senza release a range of nighties, pjs, corsets that all include the word 'thermal' in their description then sign me up. I will be first in the queue. Until then.... well. I'd better fill the kettle for the hot water bottle and plan not to get out of bed....
Anyone know any other suppliers?
