Have you heard of newly-launched lingerie brand Dora Larsen? I recently spotted one of her bras in an article that I was instantly drawn to, and then found an email from designer Georgia in my inbox later that day, so clearly this article was just meant to be! I’m delighted to be collaborating with her on a reader giveaway today, but first let me introduce you to her brand.
Georgia Larsen is an ex-lingerie buyer for a major high-street store who has decided to go it alone, creating Dora Larsen when she decided there was a gap in the market for a comfortable, well-fitting and stylish bra that could be reimagined in lots of colourways to suit different moods and occasions. She’s inspired by these endless possibilities of colour and aims to create lingerie that stands out in a sea of black and beige – “shell pink, lime green, lilac grey, snorkel blue, saffron, old rose, moss: colour can be soothing, amusing, rebellious or uplifting. the art lies in how these shades are combined“, says Georgia.
The debut collection is based on a single silhouette which is available in 4 colour ranges. Georgia is a muted combination of pastels – mint, blue and pink – which feels airy and innocent, and makes me think of calm oceans and breezy seaside walks. Chiara is a decidely more seductive combination of grape, grey and what looks like mint green. Edie is a mix of olive green, navy blue and pale pink which reminds me of tweed jackets and old military uniforms.
And then there’s my personal favourite, and the set that originally caught my eye, Coco. Coco is a fun, in-your-face riot of magenta pink and lime green, with a touch of powder pink mesh in between. I’ve never been to a rave, but if I did I imagine this is the kind of lingerie I’d pick. As you may know by now, I’m a huge fan of hot pink and the addition of green keeps it fresh and modern, a little sporty even.
As mentioned, Georgia has stuck to one ‘shape’ for her debut collection – an unlined bra, lace-backed knickers, and simple lace chokers to complete the look. Whilst it won’t appeal to everyone’s tastes, this one-part, demi-cup bra is easy to wear and offers lightweight support which is in line with her 32-36 A-D size range. The knickers too are an easy, classic-yet-modern shape, with a soft elastic waistband for comfort and an elastic-free, eyelash-edged lace rear that won’t cause any VPL.
I think it’s a great choice of design for Dora Larsen‘s launch – simple but pretty, and surprisingly different in each of the colourways. You really notice the graphic line of the lime waistband on the Coco brief, more so than on the other knickers, for example. The little lace chokers are a nice touch and very on-trend right now. Chokers cost £14, knickers cost £32 and bras are £48.
I’m interested to see which other colourways she does with her next collection, but also what else the future brings. I feel like this brand is well-suited to a loungewear addition or two, don’t you? Also, I really love the photography of the Dora Larsen lookbook! The pictures look very natural and relaxed, which makes me feel like the lingerie is going to be nice and comfy. Are you a fan of this lookbook?

ohhh the Chiara is amazing!
It reminds me of a nice glass of red wine in the autumn.
I love the idea, haven’t heard of that brand before – thanks for showcasing!
My favourite is Chiara range 🙂 It makes me think about winter nights by the fireplace 🙂
The georgia line is my favorite because it reminds me of beauty, hope, and love.

Chiara – it reminds me of a great merlot and the colors would complement my wife beautifully
Chiara, no contest! It looks like something I could wear under a sundress in an English rose garden. (Coincidentally, I have seen two other items in a similar shade over the last few days and have wanted to buy them- one was a purse and another a bra.)
Hmm, while they’re all gorgeous, Chiara is my easy favorite. Something about a mature, strong burgundy and soft baby blue makes me think about that funny window in life where you start to grow up, but still have remnants of youth plastered around you. Like a lone teddy bear on an elegant bedspread, your know?0
I love the Edie! It makes me think of moss and crumbling castles.
I love both the Georgia and Chiara. The Georgia reminds me of spun sugar and the sea at twilight, when the sun sets away from the beach and the last rays give the water a lovely, transparent calm. Chiara is a vampire’s garment, rich and dark and tinged with the light of years gone by.
I’d probably pick Georgia because it matches my hair. They’re both so beautiful that’s literally the only difference.
The Georgia set reminds me of the beach.
Chiara set because it reminds me of the rose garden theme.

I like Georgia. It reminds me of being calm and chilled out.
I love the Chiara set — it reminds me of sunlight on rose petals, deep deep red, in the morning, just barely speckled with water.
I also love the Edie set — it makes me think of sexy practicality, for women who can tear out and refinish old floors, who know how to swing an axe, cut firewood, and start fires… And who see all of these skills as part of how they perform being feminine and fabulous.
Ohhh Georgia for me , pretty please. Flirty and free with a tint of innocence x
I love the Chiara set, the colours remind me of Autumn, conkers and frost.

I am drawn to the warm colours in Chiara. The colour combination looks stylish and classy, something you would enjoy wearing as it makes you feel pampered, sexy and yet comfortable. It looks youthful ut without feeling like your sacrificing class and quality.
I love the Chiara set so much it reminds me of wildflower ???

Beautiful, classy, comfortable, stylish and a break from the normal dull styles that are either pretty but impractical or dull and frumpy. This seems ageless.

I’d love to get my hands on the tutti-fruity watermelon Coco set or the sunny end of autumn blue sky and deep auburn leaves Chiara set! &,lt,3
Loving the Georgia range – makes me think of warmth and kindness xx
I like the Georgia colorway, I’m a sucker for sheer pastels. I hope to see her expand the size range in the future. I can probably sister size to a 32D, but it could be small.
Love Chiara, but Coco just edges it as I have no lime and magenta underwear! Puts me in mind of watermelon… especially given the weather here this week!
I adore the Coco Set!!
Oooh, Coco!
Oh this whole range is so beautiful and comfortable too.
For me I love them all so in order of preference: Coco because its so bright beautiful and uplifting, pink and green look amazing together. Followed by Edie a great twist again on the pink and green combination but more autumnal and sultry. Then: Georgia because it is so pretty and feminine and would give me a lift on days where I want to feel , well pretty and feminine and last but not least by any means: Chiara because it actually reminds me of a Man City football club old fashioned kit and its my Other Half’s favourite team, bet he would love it , don’t tend to wear underwear to please someone but hey I don’t think he would object 🙂 xxxx thank you very much for a beautiful competition.
