Happy Holidays Divas! It’s the season of sexy, strapless social dressing. I love it! This month we are bringing you the best of lingerie solutions for every occasion. We kick off this month’s lingerie reviews with strapless bras. If you’re like a majority of Lingerie Fit Expert clients and readers, this is not their favorite holiday solution. Why do so many women have a hard time finding a strapless bra that fits? Over the years, I have determined that fit is the number one reason.
Panache 3370 (click for details)
People wear strapless either too large or too small. If you’re a 36C, then you should be in the same size. The engineering and support has come so far. Defined cups, excellent fabrications and special enhanced features make this a must have for every woman who loves fashion and options in her wardrobe. Are favorites this year are Chantelle 3065, Panache 3370, and Dominique 3541. Chantelle is perfect for the woman who wants shape and no spilling out of the cup. Panache is my personal favorite for D through G client, a terrific fit but you don’t want to pour out of the bra. Finally Dominique is affordable. Sometimes we may only wear a strapless once or twice a year. Who wants to pay a fortune? If you’re a petite, Calvin Klein is a winner! We are just beginning stay tuned for more holiday lingerie solutions.

Flexees Shapewear Chic Body Brief (click for details)
Flexees intimate apparel has taken feminine shaping to another level. When looking for the ultimate camisole and shaper solution, consider the Chic Body Briefer 3156. A bodysuit that allows you to wear your favorite fashions without the riding up or pulling out stress we sometimes deal with in a camisole. Body suits are not for everyone, but a great option for clothing in which you don’t want to bother with panty lines or hiking up. It’s a one stop companion to your wardrobe. Lingerie has become the ultimate resource for fashion 911 emergencies. Combine the solution with a pencil skirt or flat front pant. Another option for keeping warm in the winter.
Lunaire Mayfair Camisole Lace Underwire (click for details)
The camisole bra is such a limited item in the intimate apparel industry. Furthermore, to fine something to alluring, sexy and great fitting for plus sizes is simply exciting! I started jumping for joy when I saw the Lunaire Mayfair Camisole Bra style 18911. The camisole bra used to be the must have item in lingerie in the 90’s. After contour bras and shaped bras starting making their debuts, it suddenly became lost in the shuffle. Ladies, this is one of the best kept secrets to dressing with success. It combines a great fitting bra and a camisole all in one. Here is a holiday fashion tip…Pair this one with a semi sheer top for a sexy number for the after five event. Available only in c to DDD sizes. Natori 143020 is available in average wire sizes B to D.
Cuddl Duds Long Johns (click for details)
As we continue our review of Cuddl Duds, the long Climate Smart Collection style is simply sensational as a layering ensemble for winter. I have been a huge fan of this collection ever since my retail days. It keeps you dry and protects against the cooler temps without adding bulkiness to clothing. If you wear suits in the winter, this is a must have! Most women do not want to wear several layers of clothes to keep warm. Perfect for those of you who wear turtle neck and crew neck sweaters. The long pant is tight at the leg providing a sleek fit for pants and jeans. You can be stylish and warm this winter with Cuddl Duds.
Cuddl Duds Climatesmart V-Neck (click for details)
I remember the first time a customer asked me when I worked in retail for “warm wear”. I was sort of confused and then asked my manager what they meant. She stated, oh yeah she is probably looking for Cuddl Duds. As the product rolled into the store early November an avalanche of excited women would buy multiple pieces from the collections. I finally had my own Cuddl Duds experience as I went to Switzerland. I was so grateful for their fabulous fit and warmth underneath my clothing. Cuddl Duds is a woman’s best friend for layering in cold climates. I also recommend them for pajamas. The style P45390 with Coolmax© is a daywear solution for the fashion forward woman who wants to maintain her sleek look underneath a turtle neck or blouse. Also available in plus sizes style P4539X.

Jockey No Panty Line Camisole (click for details)
Over the past year Jockey has become a big winner with LFE clients. The price point, the multitude of styles and solutions underneath clothes, it’s what we call a “must have”. I came across the No Panty Line Camisole and was really impressed. Available in small through 2XL Jockey allows women to have a flawless look and a deal at the same time. When you buy two you get one free! I would consider this one as an option for V-Neck sweaters to rid yourself of the cumbersome back bacon when you don’t want to wear a full throttle shaper. My recommendation would be to pair this with a contour bra, lightly lined for a perfect shape solution.
Hanky Panky Camisole (click for details)
As I look back over the past year on the number one item that has helped me feel confident and revolutionized my wardrobe, it would be the lace camisole. It started out last winter when I had a jacket that was basic, but needed a little something different. I added the Hanky Panky Camisole 484661. The lace detail complimented the jacket and my clients would ask me, what are you wearing? As I showed them, they were amazed that the spaghetti straps were not an “issue”. Time and time again so many people worry about the appearance of a garment and miss an opportunity to add a little bit of fabulous to their lives. This is truly a layering camisole. If I wanted to leave my jacket open, I could use TC Style 4102 to provide modesty and head light control. Don’t forget party season is almost here. Put lace on the list!
Jezebel 80609 (click for details)
When I saw the Jezebel 80609 Camisole, I had to make this one our LFE Favorite of the month! Let’s start with the price point. It’s a hot find at $26.00 and you get two for $46.00. Another factor was the color choices. Available in signature colors of the season such as plum, aqua and green. You could simply wear this under a button down cardigan sweater or blouse, a great skirt with tights and boots and be the hit for the pre Thanksgiving get together with girlfriends. Super sexy and a way to add flavor to your lingerie drawer! The fit is going to be snug, so I would recommend for bust sizes A to Small D cups. Layering underneath never felt so chic…
Ed Hardy Kate Flower Camisole (click for details)
You might need to show your best friend mom or your hot daddy the Ed Hardy Kate Camisole 3026-FBB as a hint for what to buy you for the upcoming gift season. This one is all about style and attitude. This paired with a straight leg jean or flared leg is a must have for fall. One of the nice things about the Ed Hardy collection is that they were meant for sleepwear, but I believe the style was created for “outer wear”. A matching bikini bottom is available for as a sleep set. The shelf bra is created to provide “some” shaping. As mentioned in our previous blog, the Fashion Forms Bandeau 29663 is a perfect match for someone who wants more shape, lift and support. Rock on in this one!
Maidenform Striped Camisole 40931 (click for details)
I took one look at the Maidenform Heather Stripe Camisole 40931 and had to put it on our camisole review this month. I call this the camisole for the girl who wants fun, flare and something different to work with her wardrobe. I would make this a denim companion under a jacket. Camisoles can literally change your wardrobe.
Fashion Forms Stretch Bandeau (click for details)
I can also see this one being used for yoga and exercise. Of course you would not want your straps to show so you would pair it with Fashion Forms Bandaeu Strapless style 29663. This is my new solution for my own personal workouts. It comes with pads so the words “flat” “no shape” are not allowed in the sentence. It works! In addition, my black one looks like its part of my tank top like another layering piece. Both items are totally affordable and provide multiple fashion solutions for your wardrobe.
