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.

Shape Fit Solution – The Panty Brief and Tailored Pants

Posted on September 7, 2010 in Panties,Shapewear Solutions,Underwear We Love Tags: Bell-bottoms, Business and Economy, Clothing, Lingerie, Panties, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear

TC Fine Intimates (click for details)

The slim pant and or boot cut is the hottest trend. Many women run from straight leg pants (including myself) because it accentuates key areas such as the tummy or burrito roll. A control panty allows you to wear a trend and not feel self conscious about any fit challenge you may encounter. It’s also the easiest solution to own because it can be worn with everything in your closet. An extra firm panty can reduce your waist up to 2 inches. I also see many women who have thinner legs, but tummy challenges. This is your solution! Jump start your fall shopping by taking inventory of your lingerie drawer. You will be amazed at how easy wearing the trends can become when you already own the right solution.

Lingerie Solutions – Designer Collections

Armani 162400-CC215 (click for details)

I was recently shopping in a department store and a sales associate commented , “check out the designer collections on sale”. At first my gut reaction was can I afford it? I got over my fear and perused the lovely selection. In fact, the price point was the same as a regular priced item I had just seen in another department. I bought a top that can take me from day to evening. What a deal! This challenged me to write about Lingerie Designer collections like a bra and panty set that can make a statement and be incorporated in any season.

The size issue is a challenge because most are European labels and they will stop around a 36C. However, more companies are expanding their horizons and doing D and double D cups. I recommend getting at least two or more bottoms when buying a matching set. Just like clothes, you would want to match and feel confident from the inside out. The other concept is to buy a secondary pair with a 3 for Offer.

When you buy volume you save. This way your bra gets mileage and you can wear it more often. The options are endless for every woman.

Trends – Vintage Inspired

Posted on April 19, 2010 in Bras We Love,Panties Tags: Bra, Clothing, Lingerie, Panties, Undergarment, Underwear, vintage, Women's

Wacoal 855186

In Style Magazine recently reviewed new bras for women. It was well done, and wow what a collection. It is so awesome to see that women of every size and shape can truly have their own style.

Wacoal 841186

As I reviewed lingerie trends for spring, my favorite pick is vintage inspired lingerie.

Vintage is timeless, and if you’re a woman who likes to collect lingerie, it’s a must have. It appears that dresses and being ultra feminine is the key this season. A vintage bra and panty set would be the ultimate accessory to your wardrobe. Regardless if you can not see it, you know how fabulous you feel and look.

Jezebel 14805

It does not cost a fortune to do the vintage look. Prices range from $24 to $60 for a bra and $10 to $30 for the bottom half. Create a new expression of you with a return to classic intimate apparel that celebrates the old, but brings out a bold new woman in you!

Lingerie Chic – Daywear/Playwear

Posted on April 12, 2010 in Camisoles,Panties,Sexy Lingerie,Shapewear Solutions Tags: Camisole, Clothing, Ed Hardy, Josie Natori, Lingerie, Panties, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear

Ed Hardy 1033-FSBG (click for details)

In the mid 90’s designer and icon Josie Natori began a line of lingerie camisole tops that you could wear out. At first, my clients did not understand the concept. They would always ask, is this to be seen? I would always be so excited to show them how to incorporate the tee into their wardrobe. I personally rocked an orange v-neck camisole of hers for years!Spring is a time to be creative in your shopping.

Ed Hardy 1083-FSBG (click for details)

If you have a limited budget, you can make an item like a tank top go a long way. It can become a layering piece or a daywear top for the right jeans or skirt. I personally use more lingerie solutions than I do ready wear now because I get so much more for my money.

Advice: On a budget? Reinvent your entire wardrobe by purchasing three or four key camisoles. Select different styles including no sleeve, long sleeve, prints and solids. You will be amazed how your wardrobe will look brand new!

Color Watch Story Lingerie – Gray. The New Neutral

Posted on January 15, 2010 in Bras We Love,Panties,Sexy Lingerie Tags: Beige, Bra, Color, Lingerie, Panties, Pewter, Silver, Underwear

Fantasie 2182 (click for details)

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!

Golden Globes Style Watch – Rules for The Red Carpet

Posted on January 13, 2010 in Shapewear Solutions Tags: Brassiere, Clothing, Golden Globe Award, Panties, Red carpet, Undergarment

The Winner is…

It’s award season and the Golden Globes always marks the kick off. As usual the stars will have on their favorite designers and the need for the perfect undergarment is imperative. Can you imagine zillions of people looking at every part of your body? My bet is going to be that the long dress, no straps and body hugging is going to be the norm for most. A one piece solution (if possible) would be my pick for the woman who does not want to deal with a bra and panty shaper. As we have all seen on the red carpet, sometimes “the girls” are either in control or out. Yikes! It is not easy to find the perfect undergarment all the time as well all have experienced when going to a special occasion. Here are some guidelines for your own red carpet moments:

TC 4555 (click for details)

Select a dress that compliments your personality and your curves – Feeling confident when you enter the room is just as important as how the dress looks.
Try on undergarments with the dress prior to leaving for the occasion. Can you spell disaster? I spoke to a Hollywood stylist about this and she says it happens more than you can imagine.
Am I comfortable for a long period of time? I use a term with my clients “take a test drive. Can you sit down? Breathe? Even the shapewear and intimate apparel you purchase for the dress should follow the same standard.

We will be bringing a recap of Golden Globe Dress Winners here at Lingerie Fit Expert. Stay tuned….

The Holiday Essentials – Sexy Shape Solutions

Posted on December 4, 2009 in Camisoles,Panties Tags: Camisole, Fashion, Lingerie, Panties, Polo neck

DKNY 631007 (click for details)

DKNY has been one of my favorites for years. The price point is reasonable and the fit is great. DKNY camisole 631007 can be layered under a suit or worn under a turtle neck or v-neck sweater. Depending on the length of the jacket or top, the lace could be shown as a peek-a-boo affect. Complete the look with the DKNY 676007.

DKNY 676007

The shape provides full coverage while the back provides a total seamless solution with the thong. Women have always asked me if it’s possible to have shape and be sexy. Question answered with this one.

Holiday Fashion Trend 09 – Sparkle tops are hot this year. Using a shapewear camisole gives a girl confidence to remove the cumbersome bumps and lumps. Shine diva!
