new updates soon!

i have been very busy! but I have some great new sites for you all to check out!

If you love something you gotta let it go... and get something new and better!

Lifespan of a BRA: in short, average time is six months to a year. Ya I know right.. that is a short time for such big investments. today I took four BRAS out of my DRAWER for recycling (I use the fabric and wire for projects.)

BRA expiration symptoms:

you will notice that the elasctic has streched out.

Strings or straps are twisted.

wire is poking out.

bent or twisted wire.

no longer holds shape.

uncomfortable fit. ( and if it i uncomfortable always double check your cup size.

What I like about you:Bali

What I love about Bali: I love that they have a variety of BRAS, SHAPEWEAR and PANTIES. Their BRAS are comfortable; which is their main goal (comfort.) They cater to full figured women with PANTY sizes starting at the medium and they have a page devoted to help their customers choose their appropriate size of UNDERWEAR.


however I do not find their BRAS attractive; they remind me of old lady BRAS, or BRAS that try hard to be pretty and end up looking froofy.


HOWEVER (AGAIN) their website redeems themselves with tips to help one relax and find comfort in life. For example (in their live beautifully section):
Comfort Tips

Indulge Within Your Comfort Zone
Don’t deprive yourself entirely on the shopping front. You know how when you diet, if you don’t give into those chocolate cravings every now and then you end up regretting a 3,000 calorie binge? Shopping is the same way. Save for what you want or buy smaller items like new lingerie, a colorful new bangle, or a new T-shirt to keep your shopping cravings in check - Anne L. Fritz, Editor of The Jet Set Girls and former Style Director for Life & Style

One can see that this is a company devoted to helping others and is not devoted to commercial success. Bali is a genuine treasure. http://balicompany.com/

Chemise

Red SILK LACE trim! babydoll CHEMISE 38 dollars

-from VS!

Decade of the PANTY: 1920

Smaller more practical CORSETS produced and modern BRAS introduced describe the roaring twenties!

UNDERWEAR was designed to provide maximum flexibility and support in order to allow women to dance, play and to enjoy life without restrictions while helping to enhance ones figure!

With the raised HEMLINES because of the importance of the Charleston dance STOCKINGS and PANTY HOSE were now being sold in a wide range of colors and styles in order to have perfect co-ordination with the rest of the outfit and accessories!

"The chemise, liberty bodice and bloomers emerged as the typical feminine undergarments of the 1920's. The bosom disappeared under the first brassieres, which did not shape the bust but pressed it flat. From this time on, the corset came partially to be replaced by brassieres and suspender belts and pastel coloured underwear made its first appearance"

"1920's style of bras, underwear, lingerie and intimate apparel." Bras And Underwear : A History Of Bras, Undergarments And Underwear. 2007. Web. 12 Jan. 2010.
