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! Get fitted by a professional in your town, or click on the link to some of the recommendation seen on Extra.
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!
8 Candy (click for details)
How could we review the best in lingerie for the holidays and not mention intimate apparel power house Hanky Panky…The collections are fun, feminine and creative. This is on every woman’s list as a must have even if you’re a shy girl. As I reviewed the new collections for holiday I had to share my favorites. The 8 Candy Rolled Pack is ideal for the stocking stuffer gift. How cute is this! It looks just like candy but instead it’s spicy panties.

The low rise 4911M Modernist collection of thongs is another great gift idea. Hanky Panky is known for the world’s most comfortable thong. Give a friend (or yourself) a collection to begin your obsession with these top picks.
The Panty Party 1390LS Camisole is in my shopping cart. Done! Wow, I love this for my jackets and night on the town. In our previous blog, we talked about how to line this or wear it alone with the TC 444 Camisole.

Holiday Trend 09 – Lace is a must have in every woman’s lingerie drawer. If you have sensitivity, try a brand like Hanro that offers Mercerized Cotton.
Lunaire Mayfair Camisole Lace Underwire (click for details)
The camisole bra is such a limited item in the intimate apparel industry. Furthermore, to fine something to alluring, sexy and great fitting for plus sizes is simply exciting! I started jumping for joy when I saw the Lunaire Mayfair Camisole Bra style 18911. The camisole bra used to be the must have item in lingerie in the 90’s. After contour bras and shaped bras starting making their debuts, it suddenly became lost in the shuffle. Ladies, this is one of the best kept secrets to dressing with success. It combines a great fitting bra and a camisole all in one. Here is a holiday fashion tip…Pair this one with a semi sheer top for a sexy number for the after five event. Available only in c to DDD sizes. Natori 143020 is available in average wire sizes B to D.
Cuddl Duds Long Johns (click for details)
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.
Cuddl Duds Climatesmart V-Neck (click for details)
I remember the first time a customer asked me when I worked in retail for “warm wear”. I was sort of confused and then asked my manager what they meant. She stated, oh yeah she is probably looking for Cuddl Duds. As the product rolled into the store early November an avalanche of excited women would buy multiple pieces from the collections. I finally had my own Cuddl Duds experience as I went to Switzerland. I was so grateful for their fabulous fit and warmth underneath my clothing. Cuddl Duds is a woman’s best friend for layering in cold climates. I also recommend them for pajamas. The style P45390 with Coolmax© is a daywear solution for the fashion forward woman who wants to maintain her sleek look underneath a turtle neck or blouse. Also available in plus sizes style P4539X.

Jockey No Panty Line Camisole (click for details)
Over the past year Jockey has become a big winner with LFE clients. The price point, the multitude of styles and solutions underneath clothes, it’s what we call a “must have”. I came across the No Panty Line Camisole and was really impressed. Available in small through 2XL Jockey allows women to have a flawless look and a deal at the same time. When you buy two you get one free! I would consider this one as an option for V-Neck sweaters to rid yourself of the cumbersome back bacon when you don’t want to wear a full throttle shaper. My recommendation would be to pair this with a contour bra, lightly lined for a perfect shape solution.
Ed Hardy Kate Flower Camisole (click for details)
You might need to show your best friend mom or your hot daddy the Ed Hardy Kate Camisole 3026-FBB as a hint for what to buy you for the upcoming gift season. This one is all about style and attitude. This paired with a straight leg jean or flared leg is a must have for fall. One of the nice things about the Ed Hardy collection is that they were meant for sleepwear, but I believe the style was created for “outer wear”. A matching bikini bottom is available for as a sleep set. The shelf bra is created to provide “some” shaping. As mentioned in our previous blog, the Fashion Forms Bandeau 29663 is a perfect match for someone who wants more shape, lift and support. Rock on in this one!
Wacoal 65149 (click for details)
In the sixteen years I have been a lingerie fitter and expert, there has been one bra that has stood out amongst the crowd. The Wacoal 65149 has been my client’s top picks. The stretch lace cup is amazing! I have seen so many women love this bra after having surgery or having challenges with one side smaller than the other. If you have an issue with sloping shoulders, Wacoal 65547 is your friend.
Wacoal 65547 (click for details)
Sloping shoulders is a term for people who have bra straps fall off their shoulders. The 65547 also comes to a 40DD. I had a client who brought her friend to have a fitting after treatment for a lumpectomy. They both ended up buying the bra, and it was a thrill to witness. It’s a gift that two women can wear the same fabulous bra despite a minor challenge. This is what I call empowerment to the next level. Don’t forget to support the Gal to Gal Walk!
