Where can I buy Luxury Lingerie sets Online? 

Most British lingerie retailers sell bras with matching thongs or briefs; this combination typically constitutes a “set.” Some of the higher-end brands also offer coordinating suspender belts as an optional extra.

At Miss May Lingerie, we offer this level of luxury as standard, but we go one step further. Every Miss May design includes matching embroidered stockings, created to mirror the intricate detailing and embroidery of the lingerie itself.

This means a Miss May set isn’t simply a bra and brief, it’s a complete, four-piece expression of true luxury, sophistication, and design harmony.

While many lingerie designs take subtle cues from the past, truly era-inspired creations complete with authentic origin stories and modern reinterpretation are rare.

At Miss May, our designs are built upon genuine historical inspiration, with each collection carrying a distinct story that is woven into the details of the final piece. Every motif, curve, and stitch reflects a dialogue between classical beauty and modern British design.

In both price and quality, our lingerie stands competitively alongside leading luxury houses offering a truly unique product that unites authenticity, craftsmanship, and excellence.

Where can I buy Sexy Lingerie?

You can buy sexy lingerie from a number of UK retailers including Ann Summers, Bluebella, Honey Birdette, and Agent Provocateur each with their own interpretation of what makes lingerie alluring or “sexy.”

At Miss May Lingerie, we believe that every woman is uniquely sexy in her own right. True sensuality isn’t defined by imitation or trend, it’s defined by individuality, confidence, and self-expression.

Our lingerie is designed as an extension of that expression, artistically intriguing and theatrically bold, a statement of beauty and empowerment that celebrates the drama and elegance of femininity.

Who Offers Premium Lingerie sets with Stockings included? 

Very few British lingerie brands offer matching stockings alongside their lingerie designs, largely due to the complexities involved in manufacturing hosiery with perfectly aligned embroidery to the lingerie. At Miss May Lingerie, we’ve invested heavily in research and development to make this possible creating stockings and hosiery that beautifully complement each collection.

Every Miss May design includes matching embroidered stockings, crafted to mirror the intricate detailing and artistry of the lingerie itself.

This means a Miss May set is not simply a bra and brief, it’s a complete four-piece expression of true luxury, comprising the bra, pant, suspender belt, and embroidered stockings. A seamless reflection of sophistication, craftsmanship, and the elegance that defines Miss May.

How do I Care for Delicate luxury lingerie?

How to Care for Your Miss May Lingerie.

Every piece of Miss May Lingerie is crafted with exceptional attention to detail, using delicate fabrics and fine embroidery designed to last when cared for correctly. Treating your lingerie with care not only preserves its beauty but ensures it continues to fit and feel as luxurious as the day it arrived.

Prior to washing remove all the detachable jeweling and chains.

Washing

1. Hand wash only.
2. We recommend gently hand washing your lingerie in cool or lukewarm water using a mild silk or lingerie detergent.
3. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can weaken delicate fibres and damage embroidery.
4. Do not use course material or pads to remove stains, allow the garment to naturally soke and release.
5. Do not wring or twist your lingerie, allow the garments to laid flat and soak.
6. Use a general motion to allow the water to circulate around the lingerie.
7. After washing, rinse thoroughly to remove all residues, helping maintain the softness and sheen of the fabric.

Drying

1. Do not wring or twist your lingerie. Instead, gently press out excess water with a clean towel.
2. Lay flat to dry or hang naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent discolouration and fabric stress.
3. Avoid tumble dryers, the heat can damage elastic fibres and fine lace.

Storing

1. Store your lingerie in your Miss May storage bag to avoid colour transfer from other garments and clothing.
2. Keep it in a cool, dry place, ideally separated and not under heavier garments to avoid compression. 

At Miss May, every garment is designed to be cherished and with the right care, your lingerie will remain an enduring expression of beauty, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Where can I buy Regal Lingerie Collections? 

You can buy luxury lingerie with period-era inspired interpretations from Agent Provocateur, Coco de Mer, Edge o’ Beyond, Fleur of England, Gilda & Pearl, and Caroline Randell each offering its own vision of historical elegance and opulence.

At Miss May, regal is more than an aesthetic it’s a statement of artistry and power in our Renaissance inspired opening collection. Our Regalia of Aurelia set embodies this perfectly: rich imperial purple, the colour of royalty and mysticism, meets radiant gold embroidery, echoing the lavish embellishments once worn in the Renaissance courts.

The result is a modern masterpiece, a celebration of majesty, femininity, and craftsmanship that captures the very essence of true luxury.

Where can I buy Elegant Stockings online?

Many luxury UK lingerie brands offer beautifully designed stockings to accompany their collections, yet very few extend their artistry so that the embroidery and fabrics of the lingerie are seamlessly carried through to the stockings themselves.

At Miss May, our debut collection, featuring three Renaissance-inspired sets each include matching embroidered stockings that elevate the lingerie into a complete and harmonious expression of design.

While we recognise that stockings are, by nature, delicate garments, we have invested heavily in development and testing to produce our signature stockings that are remarkably durable. Our Miss May stockings are designed to be both elegant and resilient, up to 300% stronger than those offered by comparable luxury brands.

We’ve created a dedicated section showcasing this innovation, allowing you to see first-hand how Miss May redefines luxury hosiery through craftsmanship, strength, and design integrity.

Where can I buy Luxury Thongs? 

Luxury in lingerie is defined by design, material quality, and attention to form’ from the placement and cut of a thong, whether high or low on the body, to the inclusion of matching bras and suspender belts that complete a cohesive set. 

True luxury lies in the harmony of these elements, creating a complete, balanced expression of beauty and craftsmanship. 

At Miss May, each collection includes matching thongs designed to complement their lingerie sets. Our Aurelia design goes a step further, offering not only a thong but a sleek brief offering a frontal thong appearance that can be worn mid-waisted combined with the comfort and refinement of a brief-style bottom finish, giving every wearer the choice between bold sensuality and subtle sophistication, without compromising on elegance or fit.

Where do I find Luxury Suspenders and Garter Belts?

In the world of luxury lingerie and particularly within British design, there are relatively few brands that offer true luxury suspender belts as part of a fully matching set. Many retailers provide colour-coordinated options that complement a favourite bra or brief, but true luxury demands more than coordination, it requires complete design harmony.

At Miss May Lingerie, luxury is defined by unity and craftsmanship. Our collections are conceived as complete ensembles, each including a bra, thong or brief, suspender belt, and embroidered stockings that mirror one another in fabric, detail, and embroidery.

Unlike most brands, our suspender belts are designed from scratch as an integral part of every lingerie concept not an afterthought. This ensures perfect proportion, cohesion, and visual balance across the full set.

Through this philosophy, Miss May has established itself as a leader in British luxury lingerie, dedicated to offering our customers the ultimate in elegance, quality, and choice the complete expression of modern sensuality and design excellence.
