A lingerie firm has released a colouring-in calendar featuring pictures of scantily-clad women to capitalise on the craze for grown-up versions of the childhood pastime.

London-based Bluebella created the adult-themed chart using illustrations of their boudoir underwear collection with models pictured in basques, suspenders and stockings.

Couples are encouraged to spend time together filling in the different delicate patterns featured on the images.

The British company made the move after adult colouring-in books became a ‘publishing phenomenon’, with hundreds of thousands of books sold.

Intricate designs on lace work, straps and bows can be filled in as well as the bodies and faces of the models themselves.

Emily Bendell, chief executive of Bluebella, said: ‘We got the idea to do an adult colouring in book because the current Bluebella collection contains a lot of fine lace work detailing and the intricate patterns looked very similar to some of the current colouring in books on the market.
