Step into a world of enchantment as we present our latest lingerie collection, Love Witch. Inspired by the 2016 film "The Love Witch," our new Limited Edition range is designed to captivate hearts and awaken the romantic spirit this Valentine’s Day.
"The Love Witch," directed by Anna Biller, tells the story of a young and beautiful modern-day witch who uses spells and magic to make men fall hopelessly in love with her. The film is a visual feast, with vibrant colours, retro aesthetics, and a captivating storyline that weaves together elements of fantasy and romance. We made lingerie for the original film which has, in turn, inspired the creation of this new Limited Edition range
This winter we delved into the world of "The Love Witch," capturing the magical and romantic essence of the film. The result is a lingerie collection that blends sophistication with a touch of mystique. This carefully curated range features exclusive designs that are destined to make you feel both magical and empowered.
As the season of love approaches, there's no better time to explore the magic of our Love Witch collection. Whether you're treating yourself or surprising a loved one, our limited edition lingerie is the perfect expression of passion. Place your orders by January 29th for international orders this Valentine's Day

When you order, select your bra size and add to cart. At checkout you can then add your measurements. If you forget, don’t worry, we’ll send you an email and ask for them.

In the past I have held some stock, but now most pieces are made to order just for you. The way I see it, if I’m going to be cutting, sewing, trimming and packing each piece just for you, I may as well make you exactly what you want! Any because I love sewing lingerie, and want to make you exactly what you want, there is no extra cost for custom orders.
For very minor customisation, there is a little white box at checkout marked ‘special instructions’, you’ve very welcome to add any requests here such as
*shorter bra straps
*no side boning in bra
*lower cup bra padding
*discreet packing
This is also the best place to add your measurements for any corselettes (but don’t worry if you forget, I’ll email you to ask for them)
For more customisation than this, it’s worth emailing first to check that what you want is possible.
Email me at info@pipandpantalaimon.co.uk
The majority of custom orders are colour/fabric swap, and these often turn out to be my favourite orders to work on.
Below is a lovely custom set, the brief was ‘Pink Cupid set but with leopard print instead of the dark pink, keep the pale pink mesh, and sew with black threads’. The result here is something beautifully unique and made just for this customer.
I quite often share images of custom work on instagram, where you can have a browse for inspiration (if you would prefer that I don’t share photos of your custom order, I totally understand- just let me know).
You may also want to consider a custom order if your measurements fall outside of the standard size range. Send me an email and I can advise if a custom size would be best for you.
You can read our sizing guide *here*
For whose with a male physique, shopping for themselves, you can find a helpful guide *here*
Things that aren’t possible
*Because I don’t charge anything extra for custom orders, it’s not viable for me to create whole new styles as a one off.
*Please don’t send me photos of other brands pieces and ask me to recreate them.
Spoiler; I’ve got to mention that when you do add any sort of customisation, the item will then no longer be eligible for return/exchange or refund.

I found a fabulous illustrator (@marlavonduta) and set about discussing with her my plan for the bag. I really wanted to showcase our products and I wanted the end design to be instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with the brand.
Marla created a beautiful and unique illustration which I sent to our local printers for postcards. These cards have been going out with orders for a month or so, in black and white form. Ready for you to colour in, if you fancy.
I also arranged for the illustration to be exposed onto a screen so that I can print the image onto anything I like, and I’ve chosen draw string bags!
The bags are honestly great, you can never have enough bags and these ones are large, A3 size so they can fit 3-4 sets of lingerie comfortably. They’re also a perfect storage solution for your delicate seamed stockings, of which the bags would hold an awful lot. The bags can hang on the back of doors or in wardrobes, or they can also be folded flat in your underwear draw.
The bags are great for travel too, I gave a couple out to my friends, one’s that my engineering boyfriend would call ‘first offs’. The following week one of them told me that they’d used the bag on a weekend away to separate laundry on a short trip.
Want to get your hands on a hand screen printed drawstring bag of your own? For the month of April, I’m sending them out with all orders 4 or more pairs of seamed stocking. You don’t need a code and it won’t show in your cart, but I’ll simply pop one in with all qualifying orders.
Just like our illustration, all of our seamed stockings are made in Italy. They’re available in Biscotti, Dark nude, Biscotti & Black and All Black, sizes 8-26 (US4-22)

Goodwood revival, which is held in West Sussex UK every September, is a celebration of both vintage motorsport and vintage fashion. Attendees are encouraged to dress to embrace the golden era of fashion with prizes for best dressed and plenty of true vintage shopping opportunities.
Whether you’re off to the races this September, or planning for a future vintage event, we’ve put together an array of Pip & Pantalaimon essentials that might just be exactly what you're looking for.
Seamed stockings;
Seamed stocking are a must for any vintage enthusiast. They’re a wonderful all rounder, adding the finishing touch to an impeccably planned outfit, but they can also be a fantastic nod to vintage fashion for someone looking to accessories an existing outfit on a budget. If you’re not looking to go all out, simply adding a pair of seamed stockings to a midi length dress will instantly elevate your outfit into the Goodwood leagues.
Detachable straps;
There’s a reason that we’re known and loved for our suspender or garter straps. We sell our straps in a variety of styles and colours, including Black, White and Biscotti. We sell them individually so you can buy only as many as you actually need. Our short I-Straps straps can be a fabulous addition to a true vintage girdle that may be missing one or two of the original straps. Or maybe you’ve lost the straps from that Basque you bought a few years ago. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, our garter straps can perfectly bridge the gap between a pair of knickers that you already own, and your new seamed stockings.

As a company who make lingerie and specialise in suspender belts (or garter belts if you’re in the US), the question of whether knickers (or panties) should be worn over or under the suspender belt it a frequently asked question of ours.
Maybe you’ve already bought yourself a three piece lingerie set, or maybe you’re starting your lingerie loving adventure with one piece that caught your eye and a pair of stockings, many people wonder the same question.
You’ve probably looked over the website extensively and noticed that all our product photos show the suspender belt being worn over the knickers, even in mannequin photos. Maybe you’ve tried to emulate this at home and after several very labour intensive and time consuming trips to the loo, you’ve wondered if this really is ‘correct’ or the ‘right way’?
The truth is that there are practical reasons for wearing knickers over your suspender belt. It can be far quicker to pop to the loo when knickers are worn on top, as you don’t need to unclip and re clip each suspender clip several times a day. And when you’re in the business of wearing 6 strap suspender belts (the minimum really required for straight stocking seams), this can really take some time.
Ultimately you, the wearer, have the choice of whether you put your suspender belt and stockings on first, or your knickers on first. There is no right or wrong and it’s entirely up to you.
When it comes to photo shoots, we always photograph the suspender belt over the knickers because the belt has more detail in it that the knickers, and if we showed it under the knickers you wouldn’t be able to properly see what you were buying; how many straps it has, where it’s designed to be worn on your torso or the details of the top stitching that we apply to every single seam.
So next time you’re wondering, or you see someone online wearing theirs differently to you, remember that this is totally down to your personal choice, to do whatever works for you best, and really is no one else’s business.
Our collection of ALTA ranges represent the best of the best vintage inspired lingerie from Pip & Pantalaimon. The ALTA ranges use limited edition findings, motifs, embroideries and trims. We’ve focused on creating statement pieces for vintage lingerie aficionados to treasure forever. These pieces make the most use of our lingerie sewing expertise, and they are all very limited. We’ll be making just 20 sets of each ALTA range.
This first ALTA range, ALTA - Deco, uses beautiful black and gold art deco motifs and gold sliders and suspender clips for a 1920's lingerie look with a modern fit.

We've already worked on the suspender belt in 4 different styles, and loved them all!
Therefore, we've decided to release the all red colourway on a custom basis for now, and will release the set onto the website later in the year when we've settled on a favourite style.

Sustainability has become a real buzz word in fashion and it has recently come to light, over recent years, that some brands are not as sustainable as they claim.
