Underwire Bra

Shapeez Presents The Unbelievabra!

April 17, 2008 by Krista

New shapewear brand Shapeez has just launched its one-of-a-kind combination bra and body slimmer. Say goodbye to visible bra lines, back fat, and even the dreaded “muffin top” with this unique, shaping and slimming product. What makes this bra so special? Breathable microfiber with wicking technology to keep the wearer dry and comforable. Underwire, molded foam cups. Adjustable straps. No back bands or closures.

The Unbelievabra is available in a cropped style, the Mini as well as the Ultimate, a full length style for those who want more tummy control. All styles come in nude or black and accomodate sizes A – E (making for 25 different sizes!). Retailing at $75 for the Mini and $85 for the Ultimate, this product is truly worth the investment! Because this amazing shapewear garment is brand new, it is only available online at the Shapeez website or the As We Change (a San Diego based e-retailer) site. However, it is projected to be in more stores this fall (with additional shapewear products including minimizers and demi bras). I’ll keep you posted as more stockists are added. In the meantime, if you purchase an Unbelievabra, please let us know about it in our forums.

Conturelle: Elegance for All Sizes!

March 11, 2008 by Krista

At the Lingerie Americas show, I was introduced to the German line, Conturelle. Conturelle is unique in that A-H cups are accommodated by their sophisticated and seductive line. Specializing in meeting fit with fashion, Conturelle utilizes quality materials to ensure that every woman can achieve that exquisite and elegant shape she desires.

Conturelle features two sets of ranges – the never out of stock basics and the fashion collections. Some of my favorites include the Provence, Arabesque, Maroc, and Reflexion ranges.

Provence features femininity at its finest. This range, made of elastic tulle, is noted for its delicate embroidery on the bras as well as on the straps. Well-constructed, as well as beautiful, the bras create a beautiful silhouette in white, black, vanilla, or magnolia mauve. Complete the look with a thong, mini briefs, or bikini briefs.

Arabesque provides a sophisticated and classy look and is marked by its exquisite embroidery. I particularly love the look of the molded bra which is adorned with guipure embroidery on the center of the bra as well as the straps! Divine! The colors for this range include black, white, vanilla, and the incredibly rich, indigo. A matching thong, mini brief, or bikini brief is also available.

Maroc is unique in its own right. Made of sheer, elastic tulle, this range stands out for its classic diamond pattern. In black, white, vanilla, and apricot, the cleavage and underwired bras are edged in lovely eyelet embroidery. A flawless look is complete with a matching thong, mini brief, or maxi brief.

Reflexion is extraordinary! Indulge in lavish satin accented by graphic embroidery on the cups as well as the straps. Feel confident in opulent vanilla, black, Havana (a metallic shade), and amethyst. Finish the look with your choice of the thong, mini briefs, bikini, briefs, or control briefs.

So what can you buy and where can you buy it? Currently, the Harmonie, Provence, Arabesque, Perfection, and Maroc ranges are available in stores. Reflexion, along with the fashion ranges, will be available this fall. Those of you in Europe will probably have an easier time finding Conturelle in shops near you. For those of you in the U.S., I’ll keep you posted as I find stockists. However, online, try Bits of Lace or Sylene. Keep us posted in our forums if you find this great brand at a store near you!

Les Copains Lingerie Winter 2007-2008

January 1, 2008 by Mandolina

Les Copains is a super-de-luxe lingerie label from Italy (even though the name might suggest it’s a French brand), and for some strange reason this is their first appearance on The Lingerie Post.

Les Copains started off in the late ’50’s and took it’s name from the title of a popular French radio show called “Salut Les Copains”. Les Copains success is the outcome of an unwavering commitment to create a perfect equilibrium between quality, modern elegance and tradition. The result is a high-end, high-price, high-exclusive label — creating art first, lingerie second.

My favorite piece is this jaw-dropping Queen Triangle Bra made from the most delicate sheer chantilly lace and sequin detail. It’s one of those pieces that is probably worth their $250+ price tag… What a stunner!

The rest of the pieces of this pretty collection are a bit more affordable — and a bit less “special”. I pretty much like them all though, so check ‘m out! If you’re looking to go shopping — they’re stocked by Nancy Meyer!

If this is what the 2008 lingerie year is going to be like — I’m a happy girl. 😀

New Kenzo Lingerie just in time for Christmas!

December 7, 2007 by Mandolina

Two new Kenzo lines arrived at Nancy Meyer this week — just in time for Christmas! These really are excellent presents seeing as they’ve got 3 of the most important traits you’re looking for as a guy buying lingerie for your girlfriend/wife (in my opinion, obviously! ;)).

They’re warm-colored. Both the Flores as the ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING Evita collection have dark winter-like colors, but are still very sexy (I love the sheer velvet and lace trimming on the cups!)
They’re luxurious, high-end sets — not cheap, and yes that’s a good thing! 😀
The sets look great. These are not just pretty bras, these are a full-on winners.

I’m sounding hyper-positive, but really it’s all because of the Evita pieces. I’m not the biggest fan of the prints on the Flores bra — but I know a lot of floral-liking women who’d love these… The key word is: know your woman! 😀

Anyway — prices are $300+ per set, which pretty much means I better give up hope now. haha! Merry Christmas shopping! 🙂
