Affinitas Featured in June Glamour

May 20, 2009 by Krista

Affinitas Intimates has been featured on TLP before for its stylish, sassy, and sexy sets, chemises, camis, and more.  They recently caught the eye of the editors over at Glamour who have featured the summery Joanna Balconnet Bra in its Dos and Don’ts of Going Bare spread.  Clearly, Joanna is definitely a Do!  This convertible bra is the perfect alternative to your basic black and nude under strapless tops and dresses.  Adding a matching thong or hipster won’t break the bank either.  You can have a complete set for $40 or less!  With a great price like that, you can buy another whole set.  Affinitas Intimates are available at retailers throughout the U.S. and online at Lauren Silva.

Baby Grand British Lingerie

April 17, 2009 by Rene

Baby Grand is a relatively new label out of Britain. The company started as a pastime of making gift knickers for friends. The handcrafted vibe continues to guide the company. Baby Grand takes pride in creating something one of a kind. They offer a customised bespoke service for existing designs and their London atelier can even handle private commissions.

On the left is a black chiffon playsuit. The price is £245.00. It is a sheer one-piece garment with silk covered buttons up the front. On the right is bow back bandeau and knickers. The bandeau is silk with a large black bow in back for £71.00. The coordinating knicker is £49.00 with a solid silk front and polkadot mesh panel in back.

Baby Grand offers roughly twelve sets comprised of 16-18 pieces. They plan to offer limited edition pieces likely around Christmas and Valentine’s Day. The inspiration for the pieces is a love of 1940s and ’50s screen siren glamour, this is a label that takes inspiration from the classic pin up girl, with a sprinkling of the film noir femme fatale, and brings it up to date for the modern boudoir and beyond.

On the left is the mint babydoll slip. It is priced at £155.00 and made from French silk chiffon. This is strapless and you can also pick up the matching knicker. On the right, the babydoll camisole. This is slightly shorter than the slip and is £145.00.

Every piece is made in-house and the label prides itself on sourcing high quality materials. Baby Grand features 100% silk in many forms including chiffons, satins, and crêpes. Photos courtesy of Baby Grand.

ultra-Lift Smooth Solutions from Va Bien

April 13, 2009 by Kelly

If you’re like me, your outfits regularly include not only a bra but also a slip or camisole as well. That’s great in the winter – more layers means more warmth, after all. But that’s the very problem in the summer when you only want to stay cool and dry! That’s why the Va Bien ultra-Lift Smooth Solutions 2-in-1 products are so great. Available in a cami or a slip, these garments work as both a bra and as a smoothing layer. This is perfect not only for keeping cool, but for reducing the actual number of garments you need to buy. They feature a microfiber body as well as the patented ultra-Lift cups, which each require a 15-minute multi-step molding process to gain their shaping and uplifting power (the industry standard is to mold foam cups in seconds with a single step, as we saw in the Bra Business video).

Greg Gimble, Vice President of Va Bien, says of these products,

“Traditionally, Va Bien shapewear features firm control and is designed for wear under special occasion dresses. However, with today’s form-fitting fashions and the introduction of shapewear to the general public, everyday shapewear has become something quite common. It is with this in mind that we designed the ultra-Lift Cami and Slip. You don’t have to be going to a special event to wear shapewear anymore – new lightweight undergarments can be worn everyday for a nice smooth look, and now with the ultra-Lift Cami and Slip, women can shape their bustline perfectly at the same time.”

One thing I really like about these Va Bien styles as opposed to other similar products is that these actually come in real, honest-to-goodness bra sizes. You buy the Va Bien ultra-Lift Smooth Solutions products in 34B, 36D, 38E, etc. instead of Small, Medium, and Large. You guys know how picky I am about wearing bras that fit correctly, so it would be a definite deal-breaker for me if these didn’t come in defined bra sizes.

The camisole and slip are priced at $65 and $79, respectively. You can buy the camisole from the Va Bien website right now, and the slip will be available on June 1.

Shapewear Goes Pretty with Du-Mi

March 3, 2009 by Krista

I recently discovered Du-Mi Shapewear and it was love at first sight!  This trendsetting brand breaks the mold of traditional shapewear by creating pieces that are not just figure flattering, but also pretty.  The soft, luxurious fabrics are enhanced by modern silhouettes and shapes making for a beautiful look.  The vintage inspired collection includes panties, thigh shapers, camis, and tanks in taupe, black, and a very sexy leopard print!  Each piece is thoughtfully created to make you look and feel fabulous as it flattens, shapes, and sculpts.  I love the attention to detail in each piece with accents like sweet bows and sassy stretch lace.

Du-mi Shapewear pieces won’t break the bank either!  Panties retail from $34 – $46 and camis and tanks retail from $64 – $68.  Du-mi is sold at a number of U.S. retailers including Town Shop in New York, French Dressing in Boston, and Lulu’s in Manhattan Beach and online at herroom.com, La Petite Coquette, and Sylene DC.  Try them out today and let us know all about them in our forums!
