The first of four seasonal ranges for 2011 – ‘The Mirror’ is an all white collection designed for honeymooning brides. Not to exclude the rest of us all pieces are also available in black. This range was inspired by the character Tony in Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. The duality of good and evil is explored in this film and this is picked up in the black trims and hints of something harder, combined with traditional romantic elements.

Fall/Winter 2010-11 “Midnight Radio”

Timeless and versatile – Wundervoll stays true to its style with Fall/Winter 2010-11. The new collection dazzles with an attractive combination of soft silk jersey, amazon-like forms and fine colours.

One of the highlights of the collection is a special classic: Sonic Teddy, a nostalgic body with crisscross, adjustable straps and additional bodysuit fastener. Wundervoll’s typical high-waistline panties (Radio Pants) also pick up on the label’s distinctive style in the fall/winter collection 2010/2011, offering a perfect combination to the wonderful tops. This combination of pieces is designed to make it as easy as possible for the wearer – by means of a uniform appearance in design that is present throughout the entire collection.

A full spectrum of trends is present this season straight off the catwalk including boudoir chic and classic vintage styles alongside statement pieces. A dynamic new colour palette of Berry Reds, Indigo Blues and vibrant Purple crush, this season’s selection is guaranteed to set pulses racing.

Attention to detail is evident in the ultra feminine Francesca range, with delicate embroidery onto soft pink lace finished with rich velvet trim bows.

The beautifully bold Erin range is a must have, with stunning contrast corded embroidery designs juxtaposed against a soft truffle mesh; truly irresistible. For the ultimate in pure decadence, look no further than Florence. In bold graphite etched rose print onto a stunning matt satin, it oozes sophistication and glamour.

According to an online survey conducted by Barely There of more than 5,800 women, bras were ranked as the most difficult item to buy based on sizing, and 65 percent of women reported having difficulty finding their bra size when shopping. Barely There takes a bold approach by simplifying the system to just five easy to find sizes

“This new system will certainly simplify the lives and lingerie drawers of women everywhere,” says Tricia Bouras, director of marketing, Barely There. “With the ‘shape to fit’ technology of Smart Sizes, women can easily and quickly find the bra that fits, flatters and supports.”

Wanda Urbanska, a nationally known expert on simplicity and the author of the new book The Heart of Simple Living: 7 Paths to a Better Life, thinks American consumers are burdened by what she terms “over choice.” “In general we have so many options when shopping that it can be overwhelming,” says Urbanska. “Women often spend hours searching for a perfectly fitting bra. By simplifying the bra shopping process, Barely There makes it easier and less time consuming. What’s more valuable in life than time?”

Women across the country can participate in Barely There’s “Smart Sizes Revolution” through the brand’s Web site, www.barelythere.com, a clever viral video series that can be seen on Facebook and YouTube, and the national Barely There Smart Sizes Tour visiting more than 150 retail locations nationwide. Go to the Barely There Facebook page to find out when and where the tour will be coming to a store in your area.

Barely There has introduced Smart Sizes in its new CustomFlex Fit Collection launching at department stores in June. The collection will feature seven styles including underwire, wirefree and a new Bandini silhouette in a wide range of colors.  The Barely There Bandini comes packaged 2 for $24, the unlined bra styles retail for $24 and the foam bra styles sell for $30.

The new collection offers five sizes (XS-XL) but still covers the complete range of alpha numeric sizes from 32A to 42C known to women today. The sizing innovation comes from the fit flexibility of Smart Sizes that provides two traditional band sizes and two traditional cup sizes in one Smart Size.

According to Bouras, the design ingenuity behind Smart Sizes has been in the works for several years, with numerous patented technologies and processes for creating the “shape to fit” innovation.

“At the core of Smart Sizes are flexible frames that allow the bras to mold themselves to the shapes of the wearers,” says Bouras. “These frames are designed for wirefree bras as well as more complex underwire styles. With the flexible fit properties of Smart Sizes, women can find a bra that literally forms to their individual shape, providing a custom fit that also helps with unique challenges such as women who are between sizes or those who have unevenly sized breasts.”

And clearly confusion exists when it comes to wearing the correct size bra. According to the same online survey, half of the respondents report wearing 2 or more bra sizes on a regular basis, 72 percent of the women have at least 2 different bra sizes in their drawer, and 30 percent have 3 or more sizes. Nearly half (47 percent) reported frequently buying a bra to discover later it did not fit.
