New Year! Let’s Celebrate You Underneath It All!

As we enter another decade (hard to believe), I reflect on how lingerie has changed over the past ten years.  Lingerie has shifted from basic panties and bras to “must have wear” for every woman.   The New Year symbolizes a time to reflect, renew, and be a whole new you.  Let’s begin with a look into your lingerie drawer.  Ok, don’t be afraid, I know you have panties and bras from 2000, but it’s time to let go and revive your wardrobe solutions.  Here we go:

  1. Out with the old in with the new!  Toss away worn, torn, and soiled lingerie.  No exceptions!  Did you know that the majority of women believe they need push up bras because only their bras don’t have “lift”
  2. Cass 6000 Shaping Tee

    Shapewear is the everyday solution!  That’s right shapewear is no longer for the party or wedding.  It’s becoming a daily love affair for women who want shape, sculpting and smooth lines.  Check out Cass 6000 T Shirt.  Beyond perfect for layering under a sweater and taking care of the back bacon. Shapewear as outerwear is a major trend.

  3. How many bras should I own?  At least six or more.  Always own a t-shirt bra, seamless bra, sports bra, lace, enhancement or cleavage bra, and a convertible bra.  Size ranges have changed so no excuses every woman can find these solutions in her size from AA to K!
  4. Deals and Steals…Great time to shop the deals online, in the store. Etc.  Lingerie is a replenishment item so you should shop at least a minimum of three times a year.
  5. FashionTrend 2010:  The short dress is in! We are going to share shapely solutions in the coming year to wear it well…

Cheers!  Here is to you and making all your lingerie dreams come true!

The Holiday Essentials – Strapless Bras

Posted on November 30, 2009 in Bras We Love Tags: , , , , ,

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.

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.

In Honor of The Gals – “Thriving Underneath It All – Hanro Smooth Touch Camisole 1548

In 2002 I went to Switzerland on behalf of Hanro Lingerie to visit the factory and to see how one of the oldest and most respected lingerie is designed and created.  I was always a fan but this made me a loyal lover for life.  Everything about Hanro says “excellence”.  Women ask me if it’s worth the price point and I say absolutely without blinking.   I have camisoles and pajamas that are now reaching 10 years of age.  The Smooth Touch Camisole 1548 is a favorite of LFE for not only is it multi purpose, but as we celebrate women thriving this month with breast cancer, we thought it should be our “pamper me” product of the month.  Luxury lingerie is a must have for every woman.    If you are a survivor, just by adding Fashion Form style 5104, you have a solution for a defined look in a shelf bra camisole.  This is also a great option for headlight control.   Gal tip of the day:  Say yes to life and living without limits!

Lingerie – Lovely La Perla

I am a cotton girl when it comes to sleepwear and weekend wear. I came across La Perla Studio Short Sleeve T-Shirt 2798. This is perfect for travel or leisure. A supple cotton t-shirt made by the iconic La Perla. Of course, you would want to compliment a fabulous t-shirt like this with a comfy bra or contour bra. I found one in their collection that was a perfect match. On the days I would want to be comfort girl but have some lift, I would wear the Souple push up bra style 900889. The final touch to my ensemble would be the bottom half. I discovered the Simply Short Brief Style 2832. I am now totally chic and complete. Furthermore, my ensemble goes from day to evening as I can utilize it for sleepwear. Now it’s time for you to create your three easy pieces. Cotton sexy is super chic for fall.

Are You Wearing the Right Bra for You?

Average Wire

Average Wire | Wacoal Seamless Underwire Bra (click for details)

I was in Washington D.C hosting a bra fitting event for my apparel clients.  The transformations were incredible and the clients were overwhelmed with inspiration on how lingerie can truly change your body as it pertains to fashion.  One of the common themes of the event was the fact that most women were wearing the wrong style.  Are you in the club of divas wearing the right size but wrong fit for you?  It is overwhelming with so many styles to choose from now.  The common error is the fact that someone could be wearing a full figure bra and they are an “average wire”.  What is the difference?  The Full Figure or Full Fit has a more “open” wire allowing for expansion of the breast tissue whereas the average wire is not so full.  Bras such as average wire style Wacoal 65115 and full figure Fantasie 7710 are perfect examples.

This makes a major difference for so many women.  I saw a client look like she lost 10 pounds just by changing the style.  In addition, you can look frumpy or even out of proportion in your clothing by not selecting the right style.  So remember, select a style that flatters your figures and shapes your natural frame.  Over the next few months we will feature more advice on how to do this and more!
