Today's fashion find is ELB Handmade- a cute and affordable handmade lingerie brand.
Around 7 months ago, I basically gave up bras. I hated the restricting wires and cups and decided decided that they were an uncomfortable way to make other people comfortable around your body, but that was before I bought my first ELB Handmade bra! Yes, I know, some girls have no choice but to go full support when bra hunting, but for others like me these wireless ones are the perfect solution. They feel great on and the price is perfection, with sets starting from only £15!! Emma Brown has definitely won me over and, after this, I'm hoping she'll win you too!

WHEN DID YOU START CREATING LINGERIE AND WHY?
“I started creating lingerie when I moved to Norwich – I’ve known how to sew since I was little (thanks mum!) and I’d been walking past this fabric shop on my way into uni for a few weeks when I finally decided to go in and have a look around. By chance they sold some beautiful lace so I got some, had a little experiment and that was it! I remember uploading it to Depop one night never imagining it would get me this far, when I woke up the next morning I couldn’t believe the response it had received and I still can’t!”
DESCRIBE YOUR BRAND IN 3 WORDS.
“Flirty, simplistic, and lightweight.”
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING ON YOUR LINGERIE BRAND?
“Whenever I’m not sewing lingerie or planning new designs I’m either working towards my photography degree or sewing clothes for my boyfriend and myself – my poor sewing machine never gets much of a break!”
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO STYLE AN ELB BRALET?
“They can be styled any way that you’d like! I wear them every day in so many different ways – it’s really up to you”
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE ELB SET ?
“I think my favourite set has to be the classic short bralet with the boy short pants – it’s my go to set almost every day, so comfy and still super flattering”
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TREND FOR THIS SEASON?
“I really love henna tattoos at the moment, and there are so many amazing pairs of lace up shoes around”
WHAT ARE YOUR SUMMER ESSENTIALS?
“Bralets (of course) to keep you cool and comfy in the heat, loose fit trousers, and Dove intensive treatment conditioner to keep my hair happy”
HAVE YOU BEEN TO ANY FESTIVALS THIS SUMMER AND WHO WAS YOUR FAVOURITE ACT?
“I actually managed to get tickets to both days of Radio One’s Big Weekend – I was most excited to see Florence and the Machine and she was amazing! There were so many people to look forward to, Imagine Dragons were great and of course so was Taylor Swift”
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
“There’s an artist named Lorraine Loots who paints and draws a different miniature every day – They’re always so delicate, intricate and cute! Seeing her work always inspires me to push a little bit every day and keep going.”
WHO WOULD BE YOUR ULTIMATE MODEL FOR ELB HANDMADE?
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS FOR THE BRAND?
“I’ve got a few collections brewing up in my office, some new lace on the way, and I’m hoping to expand to a website so that I’m more accessible to everyone! I’d love to have a little shop somewhere one day too.”
