FAQ

Handmade in Australia,

That’s right, there is no mass production here, every piece of iole lingerie is cut, made and finished here in our Melbourne workshop. We house an extensive collection of industrial machinery the envy of any fashion designer. Due to the limitations of exclusive laces we source and to reduce production waste, all items are made to order. Our turnaround times from when you place your order will usually be 1-5days.

 

Underwire Bras,

Wondering where our underwire bras have gone? I am taking a little break from these while the new studio & workshop is getting set up. So they will come back later, but if you are wanting one as part of a set, please reach out and if we aren't too busy we will try to make these for you.

 

Fabrications,

You will find the basic description of all our materials in the details of each product listing. We try to find special and amazing laces that we think fit the classic and timeless look of luxury lingerie. Many of these are from France, the home of leavers and other amazing laces that are almost pieces of art in themselves.

As of 2024 we are now bringing you a number of Melbourne Made fabrics and some Dead-Stock materials, please see descriptions for more information or get in touch with any questions.

 

Details,

We are all about the details, which is why we show you all the close up images. This is what makes iole lingerie different and sets us apart from many boutique labels with small scale production. We stand by our quality and aren't afraid to show you the quality of our workmanship.

 

Sizing,

Please see our size charts here, to help you work out what’s right for you. Underwear and Innerwear is now more reflective of apparel body sizing. Our Bra sizing remains aligned to more traditional sizing and measurements. If you still have questions about what size is right for you, just email us. 

With all items being made to order, most variations and requests can be accommodated.
