Claire Pettibone Boudoir Session by Elizabeth Messina
What do you get when you place photographs by Elizabeth Messina alongside the prettiest of French lace, silks and embroidery a girl could ever dream of wearing? Well, my lovelies, you get the new Heirloom Collection that Claire Pettibone is debuting. Right here on SMP. And gorgeous doesn’t even begin to cover it. I have to say, I am admittedly a little shy when it comes to all things boudoir. After all, my dad reads this blog (proud papa), so I tend to filter myself just a little bit. But I took one look at this lingerie collection and all shyness went out the window.. and I might have literally gasped out loud. Aside from being painstakingly beautiful, each piece crafted with careful attention to every intricate detail, Elizabeth has managed to bring the sheer beauty of the line to an entirely new level of gorgeous. So without further ado…feast your eyes, ladies. Oh and there’s more here.

From Elizabeth Messina…Known for her ultra feminine style, this new collection of hand-crafted lingerie by Claire Pettibone incorporates exquisite details using the finest couture French laces, Italian embroideries and silks. The designer has taken her love of vintage style to the ultimate level, literally creating heirloom quality keepsakes for the wedding night, honeymoon, and “happily ever after” to follow.
The collection consists of panties, bralettes, baby-dolls and dressing robes designed for flirtation and romance. “These are entrance making pieces created with couture fabrics and luxurious details,” explains the designer. Officially entering the luxury arena, the collection hearkens back to days gone by when a bride collected special lace and silk pieces for her bridal trousseau. “We have such a loyal following for my couture bridal gowns, I felt it was time to present a collection of heirloom quality lingerie. We are speaking to an exclusive, luxury client who desires something truly precious for her wedding night or special occasion, to set the mood and create a timeless memory,” says Pettibone.
The “Claire Pettibone Heirloom” collection is produced in limited editions, and each piece is presented on a satin hanger. Surely, a must-have indulgence for the avid lingerie collector, Heirloom holds many treasures for the true romantic at heart.
The collection was shot on location at the antique treasure-trove that is Fernald Mansion. The designer shares, “One of my favorite moments was when our model, waiting in-between shots while we opened the curtains for perfect light, began to play a gorgeous piece of classical music on the vintage piano…pure magic!”

Gorgeous!!
This is beautifully done and I adore it! So sweet, and beautiful light and stunning lace. Big well done x
wow how beautiful are these pictures it would seem a shame to put a dress on to cover this!
The lingerie is beautiful... a shame the models just look sad, not seductive at all.
I enjoy that this website typically features REAL brides. This girl is disturbingly skinny - it doesn't feel sexy to me at all.
where are the headpieces from? They're beautiful!
Beyond gorgeous!
Simply sensual, beautiful, delicate and purely art.... there's not a breath left in me...
Absolutely stunning! Elizabeth Messina's gorgeous photography and Claire Pettibone's delicate heirloom lingerie worked so well at Fernald Mansion. This was a dream shoot and I feel privileged to have experienced both these artists at work in person. I adore these two amazing and talented women. The model was gorgeous and very talented. When she started playing the piano, I think all of our jaws dropped. The whole day felt very special.
Thank you ladies :)
I just died.
oh.em.gee. I will take one of each. Beautiful as always from Ms. Messina!
This is all so absolutely beautiful Claire - and Elizabeth too.

I think EM makes some of the most beautiful photographs in the world. These are all pretty much amazing.
It's so funny you say that Gabe...I was just on Kiss the Groom and Elizabeth took some Halloween pics of her kiddos. And I thought to myself, "these belong in a gallery somewhere." She's amazing.
Thank you all for your sweet comments! Abby, love the feature, and Elizabeth, well, isn't she just the best?! The lingerie will be available for purchase online in about 1-2 weeks...just putting the finishing touches on our site. Very limited editions, and yes, we ship to the UK and across the globe!
incredible!! that is all... xoxo
Wow! Just amazing!
Is it possible to fall in love with a lingerie collection? Because I feel a kind of madness and want to buy all of them! I found this content on the website I'm working for. We are a young startup from Berlin and don't want to step on anyone's toes. If you'd like a link to our website please contact me at masterpinspire@gmail.com Cheers!
I am in love with these pieces. I wil marry on February 2012 and I want to buy some of them for honeymoon. Where can I buy it? Cheers
Really love this lingerie - perfect for a bridal boudoir photo shoot and for the wedding night or honeymoon :o)
Wow! Stunning. Love Claire Pettibone Lingerie
