Do you wear stay ups? I think they are far more sexy, and comfortable, than normal pantyhose. I like these ones because of the beautiful lace top featuring a floral design - not something you often see these days. Comes in black or beige.
As we all know that October is Breast Cancer awareness month and as part of that, Curvation Nation & Queen Latifah have teamed up to release a line of bras with the pink ribbon of awareness. The bras will be in Walmart, Kmart and ShopKo all until the end of November.

Each Signature Series bra features an exclusive pink ribbon design, the universal symbol of breast cancer awareness.

Available from Frederick’s of Hollywood.
Julianne Moore is set to host Frederick’s of Hollywood 3rd Annual Lingerie Art Auction. Her designs have been, in past years, some of the best selling.
Lingerie legend Frederick’s of Hollywood is proud to announce Academy Award nominated actress, Julianne Moore as host of the 3rd Annual Frederick’s of Hollywood Lingerie Art Auction. This benefit returns again after two hugely successful programs, for which more than 100 celebrities raised funds and awareness for life-changing causes. This year, the Frederick’s of Hollywood auction benefits the TS Alliance.
Taking place at the new flagship Frederick’s of Hollywood boutique on October 27, the event will feature a private shopping reception to benefit TSA and a live auction with celebrity designed corsets.
“We are incredibly honored to have Julianne Moore as our host this year,” said Linda LoRe, CEO & President, Frederick’s of Hollywood. “Her spirit and generosity are qualities that make her a true role-model for all women. We’re certain her passion will be felt throughout the Hollywood community to raise awareness for this great event and for the TS Alliance.”
Since it’s inception in 2003, The Frederick’s of Hollywood Lingerie Art Auction & Fashion Show has received participation from more than 100 of today’s hottest celebrities including Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, Goldie Hawn, Sharon Stone, Ben Stiller, Courteney Cox & David Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand and Halle Berry, to name a few.
Event Chair Julianne Moore stated, “We at the TS alliance are so excited about this event. It is a chance to raise much-needed funds, as well as raise awareness about a disease that has not been well known, yet it affects as many people as are affected by cystic fibrosis. We are thrilled by Frederick’s participation.”
As host of this year’s event, Moore submitted the first design for the 2005 program. Titled “Peace, Love & Understanding,” her design features a body entirely covered with silver sequins and straps of dark grey velvet. Adorning the bottom of the corset is a row of silver peace signs that dangle from the body. A participant for the previous two years, Moore’s designs have always been among the top-sellers for the program.
Additionally, just after the October 27 event, Frederick’s of Hollywood will host an online auction of corsets at http://www.fredericks.com. Beginning October 28, website visitors can bid to own a personally designed celebrity corset with all proceeds going to the TS Alliance. A sneak preview of the corsets will go live on the site prior to the live auction to pique potential bidders’ interest.
French lingerie brand Simone Pérèle yesterday added to Myer managing director Dawn Robertson’s woes with the decision to cut its ties with the retailer and sign an exclusive stockist deal with David Jones.
David Jones’s general manager of apparel, Colette Garnsey, said the decision would give a “substantial boost” to Pérèle’s sales at the department store, which grew by more than 10 per cent last year and are believed to total more than $3 million a year.
A spokesman for Myer dismissed Pérèle’s decision as just part of the normal retailing environment. “Ultimately [it] makes no difference to our business - the Pérèle brand was certainly not one of the top performing brands like Elle, Berlei, Triumph, Bonds, or Bendon,” he said.
“The fact is this was a brand that we’ve had some issues with over quite an extended period of time so we’ll simply use the space in our stores for better performing, more sought after products.”
David Jones’s policy of developing mini-stores within the department store format has proved popular, and Simone Pérèle is planning to open seven new concept areas within David Jones’ stores. Earlier this year, Polo Ralph Lauren spent $1 million on revamping its mini-store within David Jones’ flagship shop in Sydney.
Window displays for Victoria’s Secret are stirring up a storm - some see this racy and provocative marketing campaign as a little over the top.
Victoria’s Secret stores in McLean, Va., and Wauwatosa, Wis., are targets of the latest clothing controversy. Local residents are railing against scantily clad — and provocatively posed — mannequins: women on all fours, others intertwined on a bed, still others in “garters and whatnot, and the only thing missing is a whip,” says Stan Zurawski, who’s leading the charge in Wauwatosa.
It’s a familiar cycle: Retailers ratchet up the raunch because they want to be edgy. Concerned shoppers react with neighborhood meetings and protests, and the company tones things down. (Remember the now-defunct Abercrombie & Fitch catalog that showed topless models?)
In McLean, concessions have meant, among other changes, straightening up and flipping around a thong-wearing mannequin whose largely bare derriere had greeted passersby. (Opponents are still not satisfied: A second protest is planned for today after a gathering Friday drew 40 to 50 people.)
In Wauwatosa, a reclining mannequin has been turned over so that its thong-clad bottom is no longer “mooning” the window, as Zurawski put it. But that’s “absolutely not good enough for us,” he says.
What makes this episode interesting is that Victoria’s Secret is straining the seams in a fashion climate that’s more about modesty: Bodies are largely shrouded this season by demure, ladylike looks.
Edginess is what Victoria’s Secret fans like, says retail consultant Candace Corlett of WSL Strategic Retail. “Good for them for smart marketing,” she says. And, in responding to the outcry, “good for them for having a conscience.”…
On Wednesday, Hebron explained the company mission: “All we’re trying to do is market what we sell. You see bras and underwear. That’s lingerie. That’s what we sell.”
Some mall customers don’t see what the fuss is all about, either. McLean patron Karimah Hatcher calls the controversy “ludicrous … Is someone supposed to find that sexy? It is not a real woman.”
Valentina deep brief - a sheer white panty with lovely leaf detail. Stylish scalloped edges, deep brief style.
Not something you would wear under tight fitting clothes, but a great brief for a skirt.
Great promo for the month of October. Now’s the time to stock up on all the fall favorites.
I would definitely wear this as a shirt with some jeans. oh my I think it is so glamorous. It’s from the Passionata brand, is so soft (made of nylon, polyester, spandex) and can be adjusted at the shoulders.
The rushing is what I love. It’s not often on the bust area. Actually, my wedding dress has rushing right there, so I guess that’s why I like it!
This corset caught my eye because it was over the bust and therefor could be worn as part of your outfit - yes, for all to see.
You can wear it as lingerie under your clothes, but make sure the clothes don’t cling too tight if you don’t want the ribbing to show.
Purchase this 2-4 inches smaller than your waist for the perfect fit. $177 at Figleaves.
Brazilia underwire padded merry widow with clear detachable straps
This embroidered and lace-finished basque highlights curves and enhances lines. It has detachable suspenders, while moulded cups and light padding give support.
The cup size of the bra is very suitable for plus-size women, and the panties are demure without being too small and uncomfortable. The lines of the basque which go straight down really add a slimming effect. Great find. Ivory only.
