MISS JONES - CELEBRATE YOUR UNIQUE FEMININITY WITH EXQUISITE COUTURE LINGERIE

If you're looking for something really special for your wedding night or honeymoon Miss Jones lingerie is the perfect answer!  Miss Jones is luxurious handcrafted wedding and honeymoon lingerie, created from a love of sensual fabrics, fine detail and vintage glamour by costume designer Jacqueline Jones.


Jacqui says "I wanted to create a collection of beautiful, delicate, highly decorated pieces that create  a special blend of English Rose femininity and sensuality.  Miss Jones lingerie is flirtatious; empowering each woman to create a sense of tease with her own style, to enjoy her sensuality and express herself with her lover whilst looking and feeling irresistibly beautiful and confident."


Jacqueline trained at The Bristol Old Vic theatre school in Bristol  A theatrical costumier who has styled period dramas for film and television, the collections are inspired by the luxury and sensuality of grander times.

Photographs of burlesque starlets and actresses from the silver screen of the 1930's & 1940's cover the walls of Miss Jones studio and it is this romance with the past that influences the designs.


"I adore luxury lingerie and the opulence and romance of Bridal couture.  I think it is important for the Bride to think about the sensual moments she will share with her newly wed, both on her wedding night and honeymoon ... this can often be overtaken with planning the big day and keeping guests happy!


I set up Miss Jones as a luxury bespoke lingerie company where true luxury comes from having something made especially for you by hand, with the utmost attention to detail.  I use traditional couture skills to create the pieces, and offer a true personal service."

Her Bridal, Honeymoon and Boudoir collections include beautiful garters and sensual lingerie and each piece is carefully made by hand from luxurious fine silk and French leavers lace, perfectly embellished with real Swarovski crystals, beads and pearls and finely appliquéd embroidery.


"Making lingerie for the Bride's boudoir trousseau is so special.  This is her time for sensuality.  Because after a day of being dressed up and in the spotlight, this is a time for the bride to wear something soft and luxurious, a little flirtatious.  The designs mix tradition and romance with  touch of playfulness".

You can also hold a Miss Jones Evening for yourself and your friends, giving you the opportunity to take a closer look at the whole collection and get a discount on your purchases.
