Flora Lastraioli

This family company originated at the beginning of the nineteenth century in Florence when their great-great grandmother, Amalia, was appointed the 'official embroideress' at the court of grand-duke Leopoldo of Tuscany. The company still specializes in embroidery and also uses 'precious Swiss laces...volants, ruches, silk satins and flimsy georgettes', according to its website. It also uses the very best materials to make its lovely lingerie, including 'pure cotton muslin and voile, polyester, linen and jersey' as well as pure silk satin and georgette.

The company's new collection is divided into two sections - satin and silk, and cotton and jersey. The satin and silk section includes long transparent robes, silk and georgette nightdresses in pastel colors, and sexy wine-colored camisoles with feminine lace finishings. The cotton and jersey robes and nightdresses are just as beautiful in their pastel colors of pink, light blue, and white.
