The Lingerie You Need on Spring Break

It’s almost time for Spring Break! The next few weeks will see students from all over hitting the road with family and friends to take a week off and relax. If you’re taking advantage of the time off to visit a warmer climate, keep these lingerie essentials in mind while you’re packing:

1. Multiway Bra

When space is at a premium (whether you’re stuffing a group of people into one car or just trying to pack light on the plane), a multiway bra is invaluable. Straps that are convertible or removable make it easy to wear one bra with a variety of styles like strapless dresses, racerback tanks, and halter tops, so you don’t have to pack separate a bra for each outfit. Just make sure to pack more than one – each bra needs at least a day between wearings to let the elastic “rest.”

2. Swimsuit

I know, I know: total no-brainer. But it would be awful to forget it! For the most flattering fit this year (not to mention the best support), try ordering a bikini that comes in bra sizes.

3. Lingerie Wash

You never know what will happen on Spring Break! Maybe you’ll get caught in a downpour. Or get seaweed in your bikini. Or fall in the mud while tossing a football. So bring some lingerie detergent with you in case you have to wash up your lingerie and swimwear mid-trip. I like Soak – it’s ridiculously convenient. Just soak and hang to dry (hang on your hotel balcony to give the boys a tease!).

4. Cute PJs

Chances are, you’ll be sharing a hotel room, cottage, or campsite with other people. This is a good time to upgrade your bedtime wardrobe. Here at TLP we never encourage you to wear saggy sweatpants and holey t-shirts to bed, but especially when other people are there to see!

5. Something That Makes You Feel Awesome

I know women who always travel with a cocktail dress, even if they have no plans for a nice dinner or glam party. They want to be prepared for any invitation. Same idea here – you never know who you’ll meet or what you’ll be invited to, so it’s always a good idea to bring a versatile bustier or a favorite bra that gives you jaw-dropping cleavage just in case.

Figleaves UK Introduces Midnight Grace

Kelly — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 10:40:11 +0000

Figleaves has been doing a fine job establishing its brand name since we first told you they were releasing their own line. Products already include lingerie basics, loungewear, men’s basics, hosiery, sleepwear, towels, and more. Figleaves has already discontinued several styles (including my favorites, sadly) and is constantly adding more to its repertoire. The newest edition to the brand portfolio is Midnight Grace, a line scheduled to come out very soon (mid-February). Midnight Grace is aimed at the fuller-figured market, combining support and fashion in bra sizes 32D-38G. Rachael Smith, head of buying at Figleaves UK, says of the new endeavor, “This exciting new brand is a direct response to the needs of our customers and ensuring we are always at the forefront of up-to-the-minute brands.”

Check out some early photos of the collection right here, and keep an eye on Figleaves UK for these pieces to be available for sale!
