The sexiest time of the year is here. I adore Valentines Day and all the girlie girl stuff. There is something for every woman. I remember the days when big puffy slippers and a sheer or silk night gown was considered “the gift”. Thank goodness we have evolved and the types of gifts and styles for women range from cotton pajamas, sexy bras to two piece sets that work after the special day. We as women need to connect to this holiday beyond just the boyfriend or husband ritual. That is just as important, but loving yourself in lingerie is a 365 day affair. I started being a fan of Valentines Day shopping for me when I saw the vase selection of styles come through the door when I worked in retail. I thought, wow, this is the time to shop! The vendors pull out all the stops, and after the big day is over it’s usually sale mania (my favorite). You can grab some major deals on matching bra and panty sets ( Lingerie Fit Expert Must Have).

As for a color story, red and black are the norm, but have you tried the new it color of the season “purple”. Surprise someone special with a smoking hot purple frock or matching set. Every fashion magazine is screaming purple passion mania. I also believe white is perfect as a transition to spring and summer that are right around the corner.
If you are full fit and fabulous, I highly recommend Freya for beautiful lingerie that is sophisticated and spectacular in fit! La Perla has taken the limits off this year with a fabulous red and black lace set that fits like a dream. Several of my clients have purchased and can not thank me enough. This is a collector and could be worn under the right blouse as a camisole affect. Think beyond what you see. Lingerie is a “solution” now for fashion as well.
This year, I am recommending bra sets to clients. They are the gift that keeps on giving. You can use it everyday beyond the special occasion. Remember, loving you goes beyond just Valentines Day. It’s all about loving yourself without limits daily. You are the gift. Have a wonderful day…
I had a blast hosting a lingerie segment for Extra LifeChangers program. The first segment featured a new mom who was having challenges finding lingerie help. The second segment features me and eight women, all different sizes who utilize one garment to find solutions to their wardrobe problems. Each woman who did the segment all walked away with an excitement regarding the advice I gave personally to each one of them.
I feel so honored that the passion I have for lingerie continues to grow when you hear someone say ” Thanks I really needed the help!” I walked away truly inspired to stay on my mission regarding the importance of a great fit. Some of the girls were college grads, others were women 50 plus who had felt a little self conscious about their body image. Take control today!

Spring is almost near, and since we have had record breaking cool temps, we wanted to bring our own form of sunshine with a peak at trends coming for Spring 2010. Simple statements and fresh color patterns are on the horizon. Stripes mixed with dashes of color and bold orange is the signature color of the season. I call it a mix of retro fresh chic. I have always encouraged my clients to select lingerie to go with the season trends. The must have item in my lingerie drawer every season is a color story of camisoles that go with the seasons trend. This winter I picked hot pink. I took my basic black wardrobe and pushed it to another level with splashes of hot pink underneath.

In February check out our swimsuit review. Poolside never looked so good with you lounging looking fabulous!
Advice: Every woman should own a fashion inspired bra and panty set to enhance your wardrobe collections. A girl should always have fun…

I bought a handbag a couple of months ago. When purchasing I sort of stepped back, looked it over and pondered if I would use the bag all the time because of the color. It was gray and I never owned anything in this color. I became confident with my choice as women and men complimented me on my bag. Wow, it’s a winner! It caused me to look at other options for my discovery of this very sophisticated color. I noticed that I could put the bag with multiple colors from dark to light.
Fantasie 2185
How perfect for us women who want a new color that goes beyond beige or nude for lingerie. In the case of the Fantasie Full Figure Set, you can mix this into your black or khaki color story. You will find the color gray in a variety of tones. Dark pewter to light silver is the palate range. Instead of selecting your normal black, white and beige try gray!
As I was perusing People Magazine, US, and In Style recently, I noticed the very chic and hip short dresses on many Hollywood starlets. I think it’s fresh and allows women to customize their perspective on the trend. I saw everything from roaring 20’s inspired to A-Line. Another win with this style is that the trend can be worn by plus women to petite. The key factor for looking sensational is shaping your figure. For example, if you have on a style that focuses on the bust line, make sure you’re wearing a balconette that provides a “higher lift”. Lift allows you to accentuate your mid section and waist. You will appear more elongated.

In addition, you could add a high waist brief coupled with the bra and have a sculpted torso affect. One of my favorite solutions for people who have cumbersome back bacon rolls. A one piece shaper is ideal for the short dress. Takes care of all areas mentioned and it keeps the attention on “the dress”. We call it fierce and flawless dressing.
Wacoal 801165 is an example of a one stop solution.
Remember, today’s lingerie allows you to customize a solution that works for you!
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:
- 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”
-
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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!

TC 444 Shapewear Camisole (click for details)
As the year draws to a close we took a poll of our client’s favorites and the winner was hands down the TC 444 Shapewear Camisole and A406 Boy Short. One of my clients, Gail Mitchell of Palm Springs, CA, remarks on the fit of both items:
“I love my life and my new figure after loosing over thirty pounds in my mid 60’s. I purchased the TC Camisole and Boy Shorts and was amazed at the flattering fit and comfort of the garments. My friends noticed that I started wearing more body conscious clothing including my new hot mama Ralph Lauren Jeans. The boy shorts don’t smash, they actually enhance my new shape. I would recommend to anyone! ” Gail Mitchell

You go Gail! We selected the TC Camisole because it has become a solution for “every woman”. This is our motto here at Lingerie Fit Expert. The goal of any bra, shapewear or underwear should be to help a woman find solutions that work with her wardrobe or figure challenges. Time and time again we have seen both the camisole and underwear do this and more. Click on the link to find out more about these fabulous shapewear solutions.
Now that the holiday shopping frenzy is coming to a stop shortly, it’s now time to focus on solutions for holiday dresses and attire that make a woman feel confident underneath it all. Two of our favorites are the TC Fine Intimates Thong 430 and the Extra Firm Thigh Slimmer 499. Two different concepts, but a proven winner for women who want to boldly walk into a room and not worry about “issues”.
TC Fine Intimates Thong 430 (click for details)
The thong features a semi-high waist for those challenging “burrito rolls”. One of my clients a physician who lives in Los Angeles once said, “Control thong? Wow that is such an oxymoron”. However, she is still a fan today as are so many women of this product. The tight black skirt or sheer dress that requires no lines is a perfect match with this undergarment. Both items feature the “Wonderful Edge”©.
Extra Firm Thigh Slimmer 499 (click for details)
When thinking of the words Extra Firm, I used to get scared with the concept as it pertains to shapewear. TC has made it magical as the garment not only fits snuggly on a woman’s body, but the engineering and support allows for it to sculpt your figure instantly! The seaming provides shaping on the rear. Surgery is not required to wear the hot mama dress. The 499 is your new friend who shapes you and does not tell your secret! The best part, you can drink, eat and be merry (even laugh) without being in pain. Both of these items are available up to 2XL.
Holiday Trend 09 – The retro inspired cocktail dress is back. The cut tends to be narrow and very slim. Be confident in shapewear solutions that fit and flatter your figure.
