Why did it feel like time dragged forever when I was in my teens and twenties, but as I slipped over the half century mark time seems to be speeding up!<\/p>\n
This year has really flown by for us with HommeMystere in the middle of our ninth year, with nine new sets released since January 1.\u00a0 We began with Tracy<\/a>, our first swimwear set, followed by Natasha (love the back of the panty) , Krystal<\/a> (full, sheer, comfortable), Frida<\/a> (our only cotton set), Lara<\/a> the high neck Bodysuit and Carmen<\/a> the gorgeous sleepwear Bodysuit (I have 5 of these in my personal collection!).\u00a0 We then released Britney<\/a> (love the high neck bra style), Nadia<\/a> (best ever nightie!), and finally Victoria<\/a> with probably our last full cup underwire bra.<\/p>\n Want to know what the top 5 garments were this year?\u00a0 Based purely on the number of sales, the most popular pieces for 2017 were.<\/p>\n No. 1 – Katie Romper<\/a>.<\/p>\n And who wouldn’t agree this is a great piece.\u00a0 The open back means it will fit just about anyone, the fabric is perfect and most importantly the feel of the romper is spot on.\u00a0 You can feel the shoulder straps moving on your back as you walk, the front slides across the body and the bottom section still allows enough room to sit comfortably.\u00a0 Love it.<\/p>\n No. 2 – Natasha Panty<\/a>.<\/p>\n Satin is always going to be winner for those of us into lingerie.\u00a0 Add the sheer stretch bum, the unusual lace pattern over the front and it was always going to be a popular choice.\u00a0 For me, the floral pattern and the feel of panty is the best part.\u00a0 For the most part it looks like a full panty but the lace edge on the bum kind of feels like a thong panty.\u00a0 Something different.<\/p>\n No. 3 – Krystal Panty<\/a><\/p>\n Sometimes the picture I have in my mind of how a set is going to look upon completion and it actually turns out exactly as planned!\u00a0 I wanted to do something sheer, but add some embroidery that lifted the panty and bra to the next level.\u00a0 I wanted it to look like the most beautiful high end set any guy (or girl) would want in their collection.\u00a0 Couldn’t wipe the smile of my face when it arrived.<\/p>\n No. 4 – Frida Panty<\/a><\/p>\n It only took eight and a half years but we relented and did something in cotton.\u00a0 But couldn’t resist adding a chiffon patterned section at the front!\u00a0 Sorry, but any guy into lingerie is addicted to satin\/silk\/sheer fabrics well before we get to cotton!\u00a0 So it’s a bit of a surprise this one is ranked so high up.\u00a0 Perhaps it’s the color and that it is just a comfortable everyday panty with an awesome bow!<\/p>\n No. 5 – Miranda Panty<\/a><\/p>\n No surprise here at all.\u00a0 Made in the same style as Genevieve and Rachel, the Miranda style in XL was the fastest we have ever sold out of any style\/size combination.\u00a0 It is a crazy popular panty and it was a style that we did a massive (by our standards) production run of knowing it would be popular.\u00a0 White satin.\u00a0 Enough said.<\/p>\n So most of you know I’m in this business because I wanted to be in this business.\u00a0 And I doubt there is a single guy out there not jealous of my ability to make pretty much anything I want because, well because I can!\u00a0 What you see on HommeMystere is really just my personal wishlist brought to life.\u00a0 Sometimes they’re awesome and sometimes I miss the mark.\u00a0 But here are the ones that are my personal favorites.<\/p>\n No. 1 – Katie Romper<\/a><\/p>\n See above for the description.\u00a0 You can easily see how much I love this romper because I have torn apart several of them experimenting to make my second favorite garment below.\u00a0 When you wear the Katie you just feel damn good!<\/p>\n No. 2 – Nadia Nightie<\/a><\/p>\n See what I did there?\u00a0 Just left the top part of the Katie as it was (because it’s perfect) and decided to do a little dress at the bottom instead of shorts.\u00a0 Yes it’s a bit longer than we generally prefer but I wanted it to be long enough so you could sit down on the nightie in your Nadia panty.\u00a0 Silky smooth slippery fabric on silky smooth slippery fabric.\u00a0 That’s ok, I know most of you understand..<\/p>\n No. 3 – Carmen Bodysuit<\/a><\/p>\n This was a surprise.\u00a0 I had low expectations and was blown away by this Teddy.\u00a0 So much so that I have A LOT of them on rotation.\u00a0 Best teddy for sleeping ever.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 It’s not a huge seller I have to admit, but I’m going to do another similar style because I have a serious addiction to this style of Teddy.\u00a0 Doesn’t dig in, wide shoulders are comfy, just a great piece of lingerie.<\/p>\n No. 4 – Katie Panty<\/a><\/p>\n I love this panty.\u00a0 I have so many of these in my personal collection it’s getting a bit out of hand.\u00a0 It’s the ‘go to’ style each day without a doubt.\u00a0 I will do another version of this in 2018 but will make a fuller bum, for those of us that need it.\u00a0 Instead of a romper I’m looking at doing shorts and a singlet style (like the Pinstripe) that could easily be mistaken for men’s underwear but feels fantastic!\u00a0 Well that’s an idea at the moment.\u00a0 It could change in a heartbeat!<\/p>\nMy Personal Favorites<\/h2>\n
