What Lies Beneath: Forget the Wedding Dress, It’s the Corset that Counts

Published by Tina under Products

Okay, brides-to-be…let’s talk. Most brides believe their wedding dress makes their special day, whether it’s strapless, an A-line silhouette or a princess ball gown layered in yards of beads, satin and lace. Whatever style is “you,” you want to look your best and feel great about your choice.

But once your dress dilemma is solved, you still have to figure out what to put on underneath. You start browsing the endless displays of bras—until it hits you. Why not wear a corset? A plus size corset supports, shapes and enhances an hourglass figure. It also does double duty as a sexy wedding night ensemble.

Wearing a corset used to mean you were laced into place to the point of not being able to breathe. Today this undergarment and its counterparts—the Long-Line Bra, the Basque and the Merry Widow—are sleek, flattering, and don’t make you wait to exhale.

Although corsets with satin ribbons up the back might be pretty on a honeymoon, they are probably not the best choice under a form fitting dress. Ribbons are pretty but can be bulky. Try a long line bra or merry widow with a hook and eye back and save the ribbons for when you and your man are role-playing Big Bad Movie Mogul and Innocent Ingénue on Saturday night!

Check out these six seductive styles, which all have underwire support and are cut low enough to accommodate any neckline:

Published by Artemis under Plus Size Models, Self Love

There is a growing re-appreciation of the fuller figured woman on the rise. Whether it is winning America’s Next Top Model, or being the runner up for Miss England, plus models are taking the world by storm. Is this the backlash on how unhealthily skinny, straight size models have become?  Know that real men appreciate a curvier body, one that fills out her plus size lingerie to the brim… but we already knew that!

So ladies, you don’t have to starve yourselves to be beautiful… you already are!

And men, we want to hear from you!  Do you appreciate a curvy woman?

Size Definitely Matters…

Published by curvycat under Pop Culture, Self Love

Bridal LingerieLadies, I have been holding back too long. If I don’t say something about women who wear the wrong size in bras and everything else, I think I might just “bust.” The female revolution in the ‘60s was all about burning your bra. Today, ladies, we have to get back into the bra…one that fits!

Nowadays you can go into just about any department store or specialty foundation shop and get a bra fitting. You can even do it yourself if you are brave enough to pull out that tape measure and not close your eyes. Why, then, are so many of us wearing the wrong bra size? I’m sorry, but 85% is w-a-a-y too much. Did you not see that Oprah episode on the proper “fits” for the…you know?

If your bra is too big to begin with, or it’s all old and stretched out, then your “girls” will be too low. If your bra is too tight around, or the cup size isn’t big enough, then they’ll look like quadruplets instead of twins. And don’t even tell me about your stash of safety pins for your straps—no, you didn’t! Continue Reading »
