In Honor of Women Who Thrive – Inspiration and Advice

Wacoal 65191 (click for details)

Every woman loves pink.  As we celebrate women who have thrived and survived breast cancer, celebrate these final days in the month of October in the signature color pink.

Pink is a color of passion, joy, energy and power!  I find these perfect words for women who have gone through the journey of breast cancer.  Looking good from the inside out is a goal for most women.  A great fitting bra and underwear is a woman’s ultimate connection to self.   Think Pink.  Live life victorious everyday for the women who continue the fight against breast cancer.

As we continue to spotlight Breast Cancer Awareness, I have chosen to honor my aunt who recently finished chemo and a breast lift.  In the early stages of treatment, my aunt needed a bra that gave support.  A front closure bra is the ideal.  My aunt was fortunate that they were able to remove all of the cancer through surgery, so she is able to wear underwire bras now.

Don’t forget that women with a mastectomy form or without can wear beautiful bras.  It helps give you the “psychological lift” you need to recover.  I encourage every woman to be there after a friend or loved one has had a diagnosis.  Go with them for the post-surgical bra fitting.  During the month of October, anyone who purchases bras from Lingerie Fit Expert is helping to save lives.  A donation is being given to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through our online retailer Bare Necessities.  Thank you!

October is the celebration of women and the fight to eradicate breast cancer.   This year, the cause has tremendous significance for me as one of my dear friends who is one of my cheerleaders and inspiration behind starting Lingerie Fit Expert was touched by breast cancer.  My friend wanted to remain anonymous.  She is a bright and beautiful 40 something diva.  She was given the diagnosis earlier this year and opted for a double mastectomy.  Recently, she has had reconstruction to include implants.  As she glowingly stated on the phone to me a few weeks ago, “these girls look great”.  She is beginning her bra shopping journey and excited.

The first goal for a friend or yourself in finding a bra that fits is to focus on comfort first.  No underwire is absolutely the way to go until your physician gives you thumbs up.  There are numerous options no matter the size.  If you exercise like my friend aforementioned who practices yoga, then a sports bra that is supportive but not smashing is also a must have.  Getting back into life is vital to your recovery and an overall feel good.  We celebrate every woman who has been touched this year.  Continue to thrive!

Own Your Shape: “You Wear it Well…Shape Solutions that really work!”

Posted on October 7, 2010 in Body Confidence,Camisoles,Shapewear Solutions

I recently hosted a Shapewear and Fit seminar in Oklahoma and I had the pleasure of viewing the Doncaster Winter Collection.  I was so impressed by the attention to detail and the multiple opportunities for women to look amazing this season.  The clients at the event were equally excited and delighted with the Collection.

Not surprisingly however, there were several questions pertaining to fit, and what the customers saw as their body/fit challenges. How do I wear this? What should I wear underneath?  How can I look thinner/smoother?

These types of questions are familiar to all of us and happily there are very simple answers.  Here are the top three shape solutions that I shared with these women. What a pleasure to help women feel confident and look and feel their very best.

TC 4045

Question:   How do I create a smooth line between my torso and waist line?

Never walk out the door saying “No, I can’t wear that. I feel chunky. It makes my waist look big. I feel fat in it.” After trying the TC 4045 (available small to 3XL) on several clients, they were amazed at how they looked — it was as if they had lost inches instantly.  Remember, we often say no to trends or specific styles because we are frightened it will not fit or will be unbecoming. With the proper under garments you feel confident and ready to embrace fashion with a big YES I CAN!

Hanro 1814

Question: I don’t want to wear a shaper, but I want to be smooth, what do you recommend?

This is a common situation for many women during the change in seasons in which you already are wearing several layers. They just want to be comfortable, but they are also concerned about the fit of a garment and how it shapes their body. Don’t hesitate to assure your clients that being smooth and flawless is possible.  As supple as silk, but made of all natural fibers, the Hanro camisole (1814) is the perfect answer. It is available in nude, black and white as well as in Navy.

Donna Karan OB207

Question: What hosiery should I wear with a skirt or a suit?

Hosiery is making a comeback this season like never before. It’s one of the easiest ways to transform an outfit with the “wow factor”.

Berkshire 4930

This season it is all about details, texture and color.  Women can go bold, or simple.  Hosiery today is considered bodywear. Highly recommended brands include Donna Karan OB207 and Berkshire 4930

Wolford 190-75


Wolford 190-75 is stunning!  This makes a statement when you walk in the room.  Textures are acceptable for both work and leisure environments.
The Donna Karan are only $20!  Fashion hosiery is also available in Women’s sizes.

As you build your wardrobe this Fall and Winter, know that there are shapewear answers available for all your needs.
