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.

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!

The debate continues with women around the country whether showing your bra straps is ok or not. I am a firm believer in fashion/style, and sometimes a bra strap incorporated correctly makes sense. A white tank top and zebra bra straps, I would have to arrest you. I think we all agree that clean lines and all eyes on you is the goal.
The new trend is to layer your tanks. A new twist on things is a return to the tube top. It provides the support of a bra and gives another layer of “shape”. Your bulges can smooth away with this solution/fashionista option
Get your glass, let’s toast to a sensational summer! Cheers.

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!

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.

Advice: Every woman should own a fashion inspired bra and panty set to enhance your wardrobe collections. A girl should always have fun…
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”

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!

How many holiday parties have you worn shapewear and were uncomfortable? All the ladies in the room said “YES”.
