Expert Advice from Jenny Altman of Bare Necessities!

by

We are so excited to have Jenny Altman, of BareNecessities.com (and all around fashion expert!), as our guest blogger today! She’s here to let you know her tips and suggestions for what to wear underneath it all for your upcoming occasions! See below for her fabulous advice. Thanks, Jenny!

So, it’s the big day. Whether that means it’s your prom, graduation, wedding, or reunion, you have spent a long time planning the outfit. I know you’ve got your dress, shoes, and jewelry all mapped out, but what about what to wear under the dress? Don’t leave that as an afterthought. Since you get dressed starting from the inside-out, it’s important to plan your outfit this way.
Here are a few key tips:

1- Buy the dress in your right size. That means the size you are now, not the size you are hoping to be. You always look slimmer wearing a dress that fits.

2- Keep it simple. Including jewelry and hair/makeup. You don’t want to look back at this big event 10 years from now and wonder what you were thinking. Classic never goes out of style.

3- Dress appropriately for your age. Whether you are 16 and going to a prom, or the mother of the bride, think what style suits your age best. You can still be a hot mama in a dress with sleeves. Nobody needs to see your entire back and all of your cleavage on this special day!

4- Dress appropriately for your body. Play-up your best features and play-down your least appealing. For example, if your breasts are just too big for wedding photos, don’t feel the need to go strapless just because you thought Kate Middleton might (FYI – she didn’t). You look best in styles made for your body, whether it’s mini, mermaid, or full-length.

The under-arsenal:

It’s very important to pick the proper underpinnings that suit your dress and you. I find all my favorite underpinnings at BareNecessities.com. If you have a chance to match undergarments to the dress before any final fittings, that is key! Buy a few key undergarments to take with you to your fitting. If you aren’t having fittings, buy a few undergarments items and try them on with the dress at least a week before the event. Stand in the dress, move around in it, and most importantly, look at yourself from the back. Don’t forget to look at yourself in the daylight. You may realize your dress is more sheer than it looked in the fitting room; which may call for a slip!

It’s very important to buy the right size for all my suggested underpinnings below. If a bra isn’t fitting right, you’ll have spillage. Even worse, the bra will be falling down on you all night. For shapewear, go bigger. It’s best that the shapewear holds you in to give you a smooth, slim look. Lastly, always go nude or black. Nude is best everything that isn’t black, even a crisp white wedding dress.

NY Based Unforeseen Circumstances at Journelle

by

I’m absolutely swooning over my latest brand discovery! I was at Journelle a couple of weeks ago to say hello to the lovely lingeristas there and see what was new for spring. I was impressed, as always, with the great selection of spring pieces. The color palettes were just delightful! I stopped in my tracks when I noticed a new name among my favorites – Unforeseen Circumstances. I asked Mara (one of the Journelle lovelies) about the brand and she informed me that the brand was New York based and had been in the store for only a short while. I couldn’t wait to find out more!

The Unforeseen Circumstances site features images of the intriguing vintage-inspired collection as well as other inspiration. Just like the pieces in the collection, this site has depth and character and displays an ethereal, yet rich femininity.

I look forward to bringing you more information on Unforeseen Circumstances in the coming months! For now, you can shop for a few of the items at Journelle, including my favorite, the chic Nouveau High Waisted Brief. Love!

Introducing Irely by Sairey G

by

I discovered Irely by Sairey G after meeting the brand’s President and Founder, Sairey G herself, at a lingerie professionals meet up back in February and am so excited to finally tell you about this up-and-coming panty brand that recognizes that every woman has a secret side!

The name Irely represents the blending of Sairey’s family’s two countries of ancestry – Ireland and Italy. Just one facet of the unique story behind this brand which produces panties available in boyshort, thong, and hipster styles in sizes S-XL. Made from nylon, spandex, and stretch lace, each panty has a secret pocket in the back. Perfect for stashing your essentials for a night out on the town! However, when your panty arrives, neatly tucked in the pocket is a little card with a big dose of inspiration to brighten up your day! Sayings like the following adorn the cards: “You don’t have to have the best of everything to be happy, you just have to make the best of everything.” and “May you kiss whomever you please and please whomever you kiss.” Irely wants you to savor life starting with what you put on closest to your skin every morning!

Irely panties retail from $25-$32 and are sold at leading retailers and online.

However, we are giving you a chance to win an Irely gift package featuring one panty of each style and…the chance for your fun and flirty inspirational message to be added to the pocket cards!!! Here’s the deal:

1) Like Irely by Sairey G and The Lingerie Post on Facebook
2) Send me a Facebook message with your saying to Krista Tlp (we wouldn’t want anyone to know your saying by posting it on the Wall or anything!)

Once all the entries are compiled, I’ll forward them along to Sairey and she’ll pick the winner! The contest ends on Tuesday, May 17th at 11:59 p.m. EST so start thinking!

Best of luck to you all!

New Knockout Collection from Made by Niki

by

Today we’re going to show you Made by Niki‘s newest collection: Knockout. This new collection is designed with busy, active women in mind. As far as I can tell it isn’t strict “sportswear” (the bras aren’t labeled as sports bras and I can’t think of many gym activities where a gartered vest top would be ideal!), but it is decidedly sportswear-inspired, with clean lines and sexy-but-practical silhouettes. It features stretch mesh, sparkly waistbands, and fabrics that are both antibacterial and quick drying.

The collection includes both wired and unwired bras, a thong, a vest top, dancing shorts, briefs, and boyshorts all in black or silver – ideal for mixing and matching! You can see more (and purchase) at MadeByNiki.co.uk.
