Maternity Leave and Photoshoot 2024 | Vanyanís This week my partner Brett and I will be welcoming our second baby into our lives. We celebrated our impending arrival at 36 weeks pregnant with a special photoshoot at Rivendell (Lord of the Rings filming location) with Yvonne Liew. It was a real treat to get dressed up and feel like *myself* for p...

In just 11 days I'll be welcoming my second baby into our family

Only *three* Lillian corsets remain and then they're gone forever.
2x size 22" (fits natural waists 26"-28")
1x size 28" (fits natural waists 32"-34") [Edit, now sold!]
Available at 25% off with code "maternity" while stocks last (or until 19-August-2024, whichever happens first!)

The Lillian Underbust Corset is a luxurious, limited edition design from our first ready-to-wear corset collection. Featuring exquisite black lace that has been carefully cut and sewn to best accentuate your curves. The lace is laid over a gorgeous grey satin and the corset is bound with a decadent silk duchess binding and laces up with a soft satin ribbon.

One of the trademark features of a Vanyanís corset is the sleek silhouette and smooth, wrinkle-free finish on the fabric. The Lillian Corset is made with the best materials we could find (including a European coutil strength layer, German steel black busk and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). It has 30 spiral and flat steel bones, but still feels ‘light’ to wear as the quality fabrics provide strength and support without being bulky.

Want to learn to make your own overbust corset that properly supports your bust and DOESN'T dig in to your upper back (a common fitting problem, and a sign of a corset that doesn't fit your body properly) then this learning opportunity is for you!

If you're in Wellington NZ and would like to learn to make an overbust corset with me this coming April and May, send me a DM ❤️ Some students of mine are wanting me to run a class but we need one more person in order to go ahead. As I'm expecting my second baby in July, this course will be the only in-person opportunity this year 😊

Pictured here is my gorgeous student Catherine of in the corset she made during one of my classes some years ago. Didn't she do a wonderful job - look at that bust and back fit!

Valentine's Day is about doing nice things for those you love (yes, including yourself!). Whether you're partnered up or single, what have you got planned to make the day special?

Save $159AUD off our corsets in our 20% off sale with code "TREATYOURSELF" (ends 18-2-24). Sale applies to all corsets, lingerie and jewellery at www.vanyanis.com Afterpay is available 💛

Pictured here is our Nadja mesh underbust corset. It is an exquisite example of what’s possible when you combine luxurious fabrics, textured embellishments and stunning craftsmanship. Made with a strong black corsetry mesh overlaid with a delicate leavers lace, this corset feels light to wear but is strong enough to withstand tight lacing so you can show off your curves. The corset is semi-sheer so incredibly easy to style over your favourite clothes (or wear as lingerie if you prefer…)

As with all Vanyanís corsets, the Nadja corsets features a sleek silhouette and a smooth wrinkle free finish on the fabric. The steel bones are encased in external bone channels, evenly spaced around the corset so that when worn, it feels like a comfortable (but firm) hug. The bone casings, binding and front and back panels feature a luscious black satin fabric that is backed by a European cotton coutil for added strength.

The front and back panels of this curvy corset feature an embroidered lace with tiny black sequins woven through it. The Nadja corset is made with the best materials we could find (a German steel black busk, velvet lining and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing).

Pictured here is our 'Aeryn' underbust pattern. It is a comfortable and shapely corset pattern. Initially developed for Vanyanís Beginner’s Corsetry Course, this pattern has fast become popular and has proven to be a huge success with all who’ve tried it. It has a curvy silhouette with a lovely sweetheart shape at the upper back. The back panels have been drafted to create a smooth silhouette and eliminate any “back fat” or “overspill”. This pattern creates a beautiful corset with a dramatic shape.

Available in corset sizes 18″ to 44″ it can fit natural waists of 20″ to 50″.

Who said Christmas lingerie has to be red? 💚 Will you get festive in something green this year? And with Afterpay now available it's easier to treat yourself (or a loved one!)

Here you can see me adding the finishing touch to these pieces with an emerald green Swarosvki crystal bead 💚 Every step of making this collection has been done by hand. The collection is made from (*deadstock) bridal lace and dyed a stunning shade of green, this collection is designed to make you feel your very best.

*deadstock fabrics are often sent to landfil when bigger brands have finished with them. Sometimes they end up for sale instead of in the trash, and we jumped at the opportunity to create something special, while helping to minimse waste from the fashion industry.

🌟 It's here! 🌟

The Sylvan Collection is now live over on https://vanyanis.com/shop/fashion/lingerie/ I know many of you have been waiting, and I'm thrilled that it's now ready for you.

This limited edition collection is available in sizes 8-20 and features 15 styles. One style already sold out during the early access week, but if you're quick you should still be able to get something special.

All orders are shipped via DHL Express from New Zealand and are ready-to-ship now 💚

The collection was hand made by the expert hands of in Norway. No factories, just Karolina. And it is truly a work of art 💚 I'm honored to put the last finishing touch to each piece (a Swarovski crystal bead), but the patterning, cutting, dying and stitching have all been done by Karolina.

In contrast, my work on this collection has been all the "boring" stuff (which luckily I actually quite enjoy). This includes making and attaching swingtags, organizing the photoshoot, taking and editing the cut out photography, website updates, customer service and order dispatch. It's been a very busy couple of months! 💚

For the Sylvan Lookbook it was really important to Karolina and I that we photograph the garments on two bodies that were different sizes, so that we could show how gorgeous the pieces look across the size range (8-20) 🌿

Here you can see our two stunning models wearing the 'Moss Bralet' (in sizes 8 and 16) and 'Garland Tap Pants' (in sizes 8 and 18). If you'd like to see the rest of the lookbook, visit: https://vanyanis.com/fashion/lingerie/sylvan/ There are 31 incredible photos waiting for you alongside some fit notes 💚
