    Are you working it? The importance of Sports Bras

    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!

    Sneak Peak at Spring

    Jezebel 12085 (click for details)

    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.

    Fashion Trend 2010 – The Short Cocktail Dress – The Solution Underneath

    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!

    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

      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!

    I am a lounge diva to the max.  When I am home it’s all about the hoodie, the lounge pants and the tank top.  I ran across the Arlotta and my heart stopped.  It was love at first sight. Starting with Arlotta Cashmere Hoodie 3220 and Draw String Pants 2024.  Cashmere is the ultimate in luxury.  This is stunning and the features make the price point worth the investment.

    It has a zipper and pockets which in turn allows you to mix and match.  You know me if you read my blogs I am always finding a way to take lingerie to another level by combining it with outer wear.  Yes, this one could go with your daily wardrobe.  The ultimate gift for any woman is a bath robe.  Arlotta does it again with a Cashmere Robe style 2011.  As Campbell’s Soup says MM Good! I would curl up in a chaise lounge in this one.  Has your special someone been asking what to buy you?  You have my full permission to forward, cut and paste…Dreams do come true!

    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.

    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.

    Panache 3370 (click for details)

    Panache 3370 (click for details)

    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.

    As we continue our review of Cuddl Duds, the long Climate Smart Collection style  is simply sensational as a layering ensemble for winter.   I have been a huge fan of this collection ever since my retail days.  It keeps you dry and protects against the cooler temps without adding bulkiness to clothing.  If you wear suits in the winter, this is a must have! Most women do not want to wear several layers of clothes to keep warm.  Perfect for those of you who wear turtle neck and crew neck sweaters.   The long pant is tight at the leg providing a sleek fit for pants and jeans.  You can be stylish and warm this winter with Cuddl Duds.

    When I saw the Jezebel 80609 Camisole, I had to make this one our LFE Favorite of the month!  Let’s start with the price point.  It’s a hot find at $26.00 and you get two for $46.00.  Another factor was the color choices.  Available in signature colors of the season such as plum, aqua and green.  You could simply wear this under a button down cardigan sweater or blouse, a great skirt with tights and boots and be the hit for the pre Thanksgiving get together with girlfriends.  Super sexy and a way to add flavor to your lingerie drawer! The fit is going to be snug, so I would recommend for bust sizes A to Small D cups.  Layering underneath never felt so chic…

    Donna Karan Intimates 35237 (click for details)

    I work out at the gym at least three to four times a week when I am not traveling.  I am really starting to love it!  I am sleeping better, and I have lot’s of energy not to mention my curves are looking good.  I have clients who have asked for a sports bra that does not bind, provides comfort and enough compression for biking, walking, and aerobics.  My pick has always been Donna Karan 35237.  In addition, it has been a wonderful bra for women who have needed a solution for non-underwire.  The side support panels give a little lift on the sides.  You don’t have to worry about having uni-boobs.  One huge breast smashed together.  My clients who wear golf apparel have been thinking me for years.  Gone are the times when women have to wear a harness in order to feel athletic.   If you have friends who complain about underwire bras, I highly recommend this bra.  Gal tip of  The Day:  Eat well, breathe and move daily for vitality and healthy living.
