    In the Grey – Fall Lingerie Preview!

    Posted on September 3, 2010 in Bras We Love Tags: , , , , , , ,

    Last Spring we blogged about the new “it” color Grey.  As I flip through Elle, In Style, and Vogue and more, the color has become a mainstay for the upcoming fall season.  Versatile, and can easily mixed and splashed with vibrant colors such as red and violet.  The floral trend has also remained.  Flowers and lingerie just seem to go together.

    As we transition out of our slinky summer frocks, we begin to look at layers.  A sexy print bra under black is a fashion OH Yes!  As I have mentioned before, you just want to make sure it’s seamless so that it creates smooth lines.  This applies to every woman including full fit/full figure ladies.  Fashion bras are a must have for the wardrobe.

    Shimmy Shimmy Love that Top!

    The “Top” is the focus for fall.  Most of the fashion mags are showing the top paired with pants, skirts and the return of the cardigan sweater.  When it comes to outerwear/shapewear how perfect that you don’t have to worry about what’s underneath.  One top does do it all, and many companies are following the trend.  One piece of fit advice would be to possibly go up a size because they tend to fit snug. The right size bra is a requirement.  I have seen women wearing items such as this and the bra is “cutting” and making lines.  The focus should be on you, not a bad bra fit.  A contour bra lightly lined is my suggestion for the total smooth package.  Get your dance on, because you will celebrate when you see how good you look!

    As I was watching Lady Gaga on the Today Show and her videos, the Fame Monster as she affectionately calls herself wears great fitting bras.  Bravo Lady Gaga! Some have been simple and some bedazzled and some a big WOW.  I am a fan of the beautiful bra.  The bra that when we put it on says ” I need to be seen”.

    Of course, the majority of us are not bold enough like Ms. LG, but we have those times when if we are going to show it, flaunt it and look fantastic.  The ruffle top, and vintage inspired collections that have returned have allowed us to wear lace with seams.  As we approach fall, put a lace bra on the list.  Black is back in a big way, but keep it sexy with a touch of color.  Bella…

    Summer Essentials – The Strapless Bra

    The Maxi Dress is my new style and fashion find for the summer.  I wear it to the pool, evening events and just lounging.  It was imperative that I find the right bra.  The straps are thin and the design of the dress is low plunge.  At first I almost rejected the style, then I found the perfect strapless to compliment.  Strapless is one of the best items a woman can own to take her wardrobe to another level.  I use the same strapless for my T-shirts.  By having a strap to attach, you have a multiple solution. The halter or low back is your friend.  Don’t forget, size is everything with a strapless bra.  Summer is a great time to check your fit and make sure your wearing the correct size bra.  Now there is a solution for A cups to J cups and beyond.  Show it off this summer girlfriend!

    Summer Essentials: Tube Tops and Convertible Bras

    The other day I was at the mall and saw a woman wearing a black sun dress that was stunning until I walked up to her closer and saw her bra straps.  I am sure we have all had wardrobe malfunctions and challenges.

    What’s a woman to do?  We as women should always be thinking about arming ourselves with summer wardrobe solutions that empower us to live life to the fullest.   I am certain that the woman I noticed only wanted to wear her beautiful dress, but was not equipped with the right undergarments. I believe in solutions, not problems, so my recommendation for the black dress diva would have been a bra that allows you to take off the straps and do a clear strap. The other option, and a big come back trend is the tube top.  The tube top can be a bra or an entire camisole that provides a shapewear solution as well.  I love this!

    One of the advantages of wearing the tube top is that it can be worn underneath a jacket or shrug for another wardrobe solution.  Anytime you can get two for one, it’s a score. A tube top bra in color is another fashion solution for when the dress is too low.  If you had a print dress and wanted to pop color underneath, the bra would appear to be a camisole. The tube top is also another way to wear spaghetti strap dresses.   Simple ideas such as this make getting dressed fun.

    Lace in the Right Place – Bras We Love

    Posted on May 11, 2010 in Bras We Love, Panties Tags: , , ,

    Calvin Klein F3009

    One of the major complaints I receive my from my clients is that seamless bras especially contour look too industrial or rigid.  I agree, and yes the companies heard women as well and have now taken a new approach to handling the request.

    The lace is used in discreet or hidden places that provide a touch of glamour but not intrusion on your bra.  If you’re searching for something new, combining the softness of lace with a seamless bra is a favorite for summer tank tops and knits.  Bella!

    Slim, Trim and Tone the Torso – Body Confidence

    So many times when we get dressed in the morning it feels like a struggle to wear anything body conscious when we have “issues”.  This is no longer the case when so many amazing companies are designing shapewear that is sexy and a solution.  My favorite part of being a Lingerie Fit Expert is providing women with confidence.  It’s that go and do it diva attitude that we need to get dressed in the morning daily.

    Spring for so many women is a dance of fear.  You go shopping and you see a dress or top and your heart begins to beat fast.  “Can I wear that?  What about my bacon and bulges?  Now you can stop those voices with shapewear that focus on the torso. Some provide a bra and others enhance the bra you wear from contour to strapless.  Ironically, as I was writing this blog I received a call from one of my clients who purchased a torso camisole.  She was raving about how much back support it provided.  She felt like it made her stand tall and more upright and her clothes fit like never before! This is a woman’s dream.  No fussing, pulling and tugging.

    Select a style that enhances your wardrobe and your “fit” challenges.

    Are you working it? The importance of Sports Bras

    Posted on January 26, 2010 in Bras We Love Tags: , , , , , , , ,

    As we enter the tail end of January 2010, I know for most of us, we have made our resolutions to loose weight, go to the gym, and just be more active.  As a friendly reminder, make sure you own a sports bra and do not work out in your regular bra.  A sports bra is designed to give specific engineering and lift for women.  A regular bra, although supportive is designed for shaping the breasts, but not for jumping, running, etc.  When doing fittings for clients, I have seen numerous women walk in with blown out bras.  I always ask in the consultation, do you own a sports bra?  A few will say yes, but the majority will boldly say no, and have sixteen reasons why.  This is not ok.  I always compare it to wearing the same shoes day in and day out for one year.  Your shoes and your feet would be worn out!

    Just like a regular bra, you can select the type of impact you need to get your work out on!  If you are a pilates or yoga lover, then low impact or no wire solutions will work well for you.  If you play tennis or run, you will want to select a firm or compression garment that keeps your ladies in place but does not bind or pinch.  If you’re a AA or smaller cup, they have heard the voices of women who said we need a little help.  You can find contour or molded solutions to give you more shape.  The full figure customer has awesome choices, finally…

    Stay focused on your goals!

    How many holiday parties have you worn shapewear and were uncomfortable?  All the ladies in the room said “YES”.  I know the first time I ever wore a control brief I was 18 attending prom and wishing the night would have ended at 9:00.  OUCH! I am in pain…TC Fine Intimates have heard the cries (literally) of women everywhere.  The new 4125 Light Control Shaper Brief is spectacular.   This is the ultimate in total comfort, total control.  Melts on the skin like your wearing nothing, and shapes the places where you need it most.  As we enter holiday party central, you have got to add this one to the list.  I enjoy the fact that you can wear any bra and create the right solution for you.  As we mentioned, strapless is a common necessity this time of year.  Add a convertible bra that is either molded or not, and create a total one piece illusion.   Get your party on girlfriend!

    Holiday Fashion Trend 09 – The “Little Black Dress” should be in your closet at all times for the unexpected party invitation.

    Mini Mountains – Focus on Petite Bras and Fit

    On Gossamer Bump It Up

    On Gossamer Bump It Up

    When I speak across the country, often women laugh about my term “mountain top experience”.  In all fairness to the petite or “mini mountain” ladies out there, they too want to have uplift and something to fill their cups.  I wanted to focus on the importance of those women who are petite and need a bra that really fits them.  A few years back, I was so excited when Wacoal launched their petite collection.  Over the years, I have found additional brands and companies that provide ample shape for the smaller framed woman.  I will continue to spotlight these bras in our blog over time.  One of the most popular has been On Gossamer Bump It Up style 3201.  I have been shocked to see clients who could not fill a cup change their entire shape with this bra.  You have the ability to twist the center and increase the bust by an entire size.  Wacoal Petite style 75604 is a beautiful contour with lace and special designed cups that fill in the gaps when she is challenged in the volume area.  I once had a client scheduled for implants who cancelled because of this bra (true story).  Tell your girlfriends or yourself who are always complaining they don’t have enough they have options.  Another great place to shop for lingerie is www.lulalu.com,  an online store just for Petites.

    We will continue to review collections…stay tuned.
