The Undie Awards 2009 Winners

June 16, 2009 by Bert

America has voted. The ballots have been counted and the results are in! Women and men have cast more than 20,000 votes for their favorite underwear by type, brand and style as part of the 2009 Undie Awards. The Undie AwardsWinners were announced today via the awards’ website, www.theundies.com.

Over a one-month period, voters of all shapes and sizes anonymously participated in the awards, which cover bras, panties and shapewear.

Now in their third year, the Undie Awards are designed to celebrate all things lingerie. In addition to encouraging voters to nominate their preferred pair for greatness, the awards also seek to educate consumers on how to best pick out underwear that is right for them.

To this end, voters in the awards were asked to “let (their) body type do the voting” by entering their age range and height and then characterizing their body type, based on – (for the women) – bra and panty sizes as well as bust, tummy and bottom type OR – (for the men) – chest, waist and leg type as well as waist size.

“Participating in the Undie Awards provides women and men with real peer-to-peer information they can use to select the right fit and style, in tops and bottoms,” said Tomima Edmark, lingerie & undergarment expert. “What’s more, the awards introduce voters to brands they might be unfamiliar with, especially via the ‘select’ winner categories, which are determined by our staff as a way of highlighting smaller brands.”

The Undie Awards Winners

This year’s Overall Favorite Bra (Average Figure) is the Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Contour Stretch Bra 75-266icon. This bra is claiming highest honors for the second year in a row, due to its simple style, comfort and cleavage. One voter wrote, “hands down the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn.” Sizes range from 32B to 42C.

The Overall Favorite Bra (Full Figure) is the Panache Superbra Tango II Underwire Balconnet Bra 3251icon. Women chose this stylish bra for its fit and comfort, not to mention its support. One voter wrote, “…love this bra. For my size it has THE BEST support!” Band sizes range from 30-44 and cup sizes from D-JJ.

The Overall Favorite Panty is the Olga Secret Hug Nylon Scoop Halfpant Panty 913icon, which features a “scoop” design with a center back seam that keeps the panties where they belong while providing natural definition. This brief wears well and is the perfect everyday panty for sizes 5-9.

May 21, 2007 by Mandolina

A new shop we haven’t mentioned before on The Lingerie Post today: Allura Couture.Black Ice Underwire Plunge AlluraCouture When we asked the owner, Renee, to introduce her shop, she sent us this:

The lingerie at Allura Couture is made with superior lace and fabrics found in European undergarments with the long-lasting quality construction for every-day wear. AlluraCouture.com came to be out of a need for style and comfort in full-figured lingerie and our style and brand selections will grow every month. Allura offers individual pieces and matching sets at prices that are typically lower than most lingerie of it’s quality offered today. Visitors will find underwire, smooth-cup, soft-cup, and push-up bras; bustiers and corsets; and panties in thong, brief, bikini, and boy-leg styles. From everyday to elegant styles, there is a piece for every taste. Size guides lend a hand for those who need it, and the man in her life will get confidence in buying her lingerie with the Men’s Manual as a guide.

Renee is a full-figured woman herself, so she knows what she’s talking about. What brands can you find on their website? Right now they’re stocking Goddess, Tatiana and Olga – but Renee has told us that there’s much more to come. Make sure to check out her website, alluracouture.com. It’s not the most easy-to-browse one, but I’m sure you’ll find some pretty pieces!
