Le Mystere Bras: a Must-Have Bra For the Sexy, Smart and Healthy You

"Oh-oh, this ain't sexy back."

Is this what you say during bra shopping? Not a big deal. After all, you're the only one privy to your bra, right?


Wrong.

8 out of 10 women are wearing ill-fitting bras. An ill-fitting bra can wreck a stunning wardrobe. Ample bosoms aren't as ample as we thought. Mothers often find themselves waving as their breasts go south. "Back bulge" or back fat, a result of tight bras are both unattractive and uncomfortable. All these can make us look heavier and older.

When shopping for bras, there are two simple guidelines we can follow. Let's call these guidelines the "musts for busts".

Must for busts #1: Know your bra size.

I cannot emphasize this enough: size and fit matters. Don't wear something like a cup that's too small or large. Wearing an ill-fitting bra is not just a fashion no-no, but also dangerous to your health.

Medical studies show that wearing a tight bra can result to muscle pain in the back and shoulder area. Moreover, it can result to wires digging into the breast tissue. Conversely, wearing a bra that's too loose forces you to slouch.

Thankfully, Le Mystere's Dream Tisha Bra is stylishly healthy choice. Made to fit perfectly, it's made of Molded Microfibre. It has a 3 column, 2 row hook and eye closure; to ensure better fit. And even if we sport a C cup and above, Le Mystere provides us with a 3 column, 3 row hook and eye closure. Those red itchy strap marks are a thing of the past with the Dream Tisha Bra's inch wide comfort straps and 2 ½ inch wide back wing.

Must for busts no.2: Style and comfort are non-negotiable.

Many top heavy women wear sports bras. Unfortunately, sports bras rarely give us the "lift" we need. On the other hand, Minimizers can become uncomfortable.

Years ago, full figured women weren't part of the lingerie market. Thankfully, times have changed.


With brands likeLe Mystere giving us the Dream Tisha Bra, sports bras aren't in the running anymore. These comfortable bras are made of Nylon and Lycra Spandex. Many women have exclaimed at how effortlessly stylish (in nude, suntan and black) and comfortable this bra is. Even Oprah Winfrey tried it out! And guess what? She loved it!

Amidst raves about this bra come the rants. Some complain that it gives them way too much coverage. Admittedly, it may sometimes feel like an extra layer of clothing rather than an undergarment. Some have even gone so far as to say that this is a cheaper alternative for a vest. Though there are disgruntled costumers, Le Mystere's Dream Tisha Bra is still one of the best alternatives to boring minimizers and sports bras.

And, what's the best thing about this Le Mystere's Dream Tisha bra? It's readily available online on sites like laurensilva.com. You don't have to leave your home to be able to enjoy Le Mystere Dream Tisha Bra.

You can bid adieu to ill-fitting bras. You can now look stylish and finally flaunt those full breasts. All you need is the perfect bra to go with the perfect you. And yes, you will bring sexy back.

Sexy Costumes - Where Can I Wear Them?

With so many sexy costumes on the market and so many women wearing them the inevitable question is where can I wear a sexy costume? While the safe answer is "it depends", let's lay down some general rules to guide you and hopefully avoid some likely pitfalls.

Work: Many places of employment have Halloween parties or other occasions where a costume is required or allowed. Avoid the temptation to wear a sexy anything much less a costume to a work related event. The reasons will become apparent at the event or the day after and the damage is done. Sexy costumes are generally short, tight and revealing and these are all things that don't have a place in a work environment. But, you say, everyone is cool where I work and they are all wearing costumes. Great, dress up as a cat and wear a mask or have a friend use makeup to create the illusion of a cat face. Wear a costume to show that you like to have fun and enjoy yourself but don't forget that you want your co-workers and superiors to view you as an equal, not a sex object. Wearing a sexy costume in the environment where a boss or co-workers see you in suggestive clothing may cause some at work to question your judgment or even worse your morals. Work is work and a party is a party. Don't do it!

Bars: OK, but be sure you are in a group of friends and know your level of tolerance before you step out the door. Know what your girlfriends are wearing and don't be the hit of this party. Night clubs and bars are a perfect place to let down your hair, look hot and have a great time. But you don't want to be constantly pulling up your stockings, popping out of your top and showing off your panties, so be prepared. Ask yourself a couple of questions along the lines of; am I going to have a good time dressed like this? You notice I didn't ask "Am I going to look great in this outfit"? Most men will agree a woman in a short skirt, stockings, a pair of high heels and a skimpy top is hot, but is that same girl having fun? Stockings generally need garter belts to hold them up and although stay up stockings work, they weren't really made for a girl dancing for 3-4 hours, perspiring and getting up and into night club booths. High heels make a woman's legs look awesome but they aren't made for dancing, at least not longer than 10-15 minutes. Finally consider wearing ruffle panties if your panties show under the costume that way you don't really care who sees them as they are meant to be seen. Also be sure you know the atmosphere of the bar or nightclub you are visiting. Is it upscale with plenty of security? Is it a dive with a bunch of gap toothed hooligans in attendance? Considering what you are wearing you may want to steer clear of the roadhouse where 3 people were shot last weekend. You can always go there next weekend.

Private Parties: Absolutely! While you need to ask yourself the same questions as above, private parties are after all private and as long as you know some of the party goers, all should go well. Lets face it some people are exhibitionists and once a year it is ok to be naughty and a party at someone's home is the perfect place to be naughty and cute in a safe environment where men won't get the wrong idea or if they do they are unlikely to act out in an inappropriate manner. Encourage your friends to dress "up" as you will look less like a spectacle than just another party goer wanting to have fun. A sorority or group of girls looking hot is preferable to one girl looking out of place and trashy. Also consider changing into your costumes at the party to avoid the coming and going problems. In all situations have your boyfriend or a boy friend along for the fun as you are going to look awesome. Although you are old enough to wear these costumes so you know not to drink too much and never drink and drive. Alcohol is a great equalizer and loosens inhibitions but don't forget what you are wearing. Men are clever devils and getting their attention is fun and exciting but there is nothing worse than a guy or a girl at a party drinking too much. While this is true of any party at any location, the added ingredient is your "costume".

Parties for two: Of course, what have you been waiting for? Role playing parties are fun and costumes are a requirement. The selection of costumes for intimate parties are growing and may be what you need although many sexy costumes can and do work in both situations. Some manufacturers offer "bedroom" costumes as well as costumes that can be worn in public. The bedroom costumes are often sheer, skimpier than their sexy costume cousins and less expensive. You decide what works best for you!

Wherever you go have fun but don't forget that you are going to see some or all of those people in the future and impressions can have a lasting effect. Adult Halloween parties are a perfect opportunity to be naughty. You can and should look hot but not cheap and trashy. What is the difference? Modesty is the key and you should maintain it at all times. Wear accessories that cover you up with something left to the imagination. Ruffle panties are full coverage and not particularly daring. Petticoats add length and fullness to your costume. Stockings are a great way to cover your legs and keep you warm late in October. Have an alternate costume just in case things don't go as planned. Often girls agree to dress in costumes that are revealing and risky and inevitably someone doesn't show up, or chickens out and either doesn't' wear a costume or wears a less revealing costume. Also you may be going to multiple places that evening and what works in one party may be completely inappropriate in another.

Don't forget that it gets cool or downright cold depending on where you live in late October and wear appropriate jackets or sweaters. Dressing up in costume is a great experience but don't forget some of the old stand bys that allow you to really make that costume special. Consider buying a wig to change your look altogether. You will be surprised how different you look as a blonde, brunette or redhead. Also try wearing a mask all night and you will definitely be the mystery girl. There are plenty of masks that simply cover your eyes with feather trim or jewels. Bring a prop like a special handbag to match your outfit or a toy gun if you are a gangster girl. Many costumes include them but think about what will make your outfit special. If you are escorted by a boyfriend or husband or even just a good friend make them dress up as well. While men are less likely to want to dress up let them know it is alright for a man to dress up in costume and that you would really appreciate it if they did.

How to Buy Lingerie For the First Time

At our store we see girls who are buying lingerie for the first time and while it might look to the casual observer to be easy for a girl to buy lingerie, the truth is quite the opposite. We often assume that just because a girl is female that she naturally knows how to shop for clothing and especially lingerie. What could be farther from the truth? Buying lingerie, particularly sexy lingerie is not something most mothers teach their daughters. Mothers often go with their daughters to buy their first bra, but that may be the last time many girls have any guidance in buying lingerie, particularly sexy lingerie.

When should a girl buy lingerie? First let's define our terms. Bras, panties, hosiery are all technically lingerie as they are undergarments and girls as young as 15 or 16 can and do purchase these items by themselves or without much if any adult supervision. The age varies among families and how independent the young woman is and wants to be. Keep in mind though that surveys reveal that well over 80% of women are wearing ill fitting bras and this remarkable figure started somewhere. Mothers are free to assist their daughters as much as they want, but keep in mind that young girls have everything to say about how much assistance they need from their mothers. Purchasing bras and panties for every day wear is often done in department stores and due to the very nature of unmentionables proper guidance may be lacking. On the other hand how much assistance does a young man need to buy underwear? He likely buys a four pack of tightly whites and goes on with his business if his mother doesn't pick up a couple dozen at the local Costco.

When it comes to buying bras the matter is a while lot more complicated as a young girl may/will mature and along with that maturity or weight gain comes a larger bra size and a need for additional fittings. Most young women are not going to get one fitting much less two or more so often they are left to their own devices like taking a couple of bras into the dressing room and fending for themselves. Buying proper bras in terms of size is so important as it relates to comfort, posture and how a girl looks in clothing that it can't really be over emphasized but most stores do not have employees that can properly size a woman's bra anyway. Look in the local newspapers and you will note that from time to time department stores offer "bra fitting specialists" who are visiting their stores. This suggests that the full time staff is not trained in proper bra fitting. Such is the nature of the lingerie business as a whole. Women are conditioned to try on clothing to determine correct sizing but in the case of bras it is not quite that easy.

Price: As in most garments the greater the cost often the greater the quality of the garment. Most would agree that certain brands are more expensive, better made and sizing may be more accurate. It is always important to buy quality if you can afford to buy the best then this may solve some problems in buying lingerie for the first time. The difference in cost can and should result in more attention to detail, finer materials and the garment lasting longer. Don't fall prey to the idea though that you have to pay more to get the best quality. Also don't fail to shop at sales and clearance times for the best value for your money.

Service: Even though you may pay more it is always best to shop in a full service store or boutique particularly when buying lingerie for the first time. The cost of goods and the amount of service you receive usually go hand in hand. Buying lingerie or anything else for the first time should result in more questions about fit, material and what to look for in a quality garment. Sales people in a high end store often, not always can assist you with any questions you may have. Even if you don't buy anything you may learn about what you are buying and what to look for? You can pay too much for lingerie considering the use it will get. If you are paying $250.00 for a pair of panties consider how durable the panties are, how often they will be worn and perhaps 5 pair of panties at $50.00 is a better value. On the other hand a robe that will keep you warm be useful for 2-5 years and worn every day is perhaps a worthwhile investment.

Purpose: Lingerie may be something sexy to wear under your work outfit or something to wear on your wedding night or honeymoon. The work lingerie needs to be more durable, functional and comfortable than the outfit that will be worn for a precious few minutes or an hour once a month or less. Consider the purpose as you would a pair of shoes for work or running. Purpose is important and when combined with price you can make informed decisions. Often a pair of panties and a sexy lace bra can be worn to work as well as being a sexy outfit for a romantic evening. Don't think outside the box; throw the box away when it comes to lingerie. Many of these articles of clothing can and should serve dual purposes.

Where to shop: Consider that time is money and there are lingerie stores and then there are lingerie stores? What do I mean? Department stores offer little in the way of sexy lingerie but a lot in the area of foundations, a term used to refer to bras, shapers and panties. Consider what you are looking to buy? If you are looking for a sexy little number to warm up his heart rate then the lingerie boutique may be your best bet. No harm in shopping everywhere but if time is short then plan where you are most likely to strike pay dirt.

When to shop: When first shopping for lingerie it is best to determine what is available. If you live in Manhattan then just get on the bus or subway and shop. Many other areas don't have this unlimited shopping access and your shopping may require you to shop on the internet or at a mall. Shopping on the internet offer the anonymous experience you may desire but the inability to try anything on so be forewarned. First time shoppers really needs the ability to try things on first before buying.

Since you are buying lingerie for the first time be sure to consider taking someone along for the fun of it. Be it a boyfriend, husband, girlfriend or your mother. Shopping is always more fun when you have someone to share the experience. They can be invaluable when it comes to advice but listen to your instincts as you are the one who has to wear it, so enjoy the experience.

Comfortable Corset to Enhance the Torso

Whether it is fashion, medical use or just a sexual fetish, the corset has remained one of the best designed lingerie over the ages. Nothing enhances the body of a women more than a well designed corset. After all, an undergarment is no longer just for purposes of hygiene or modesty. Women's underwear has progressed since the ages and has become more comfortable and fitting. A corset offers both comfort and snug fit. When worn correctly, it can support the back and the upper torso for optimum comfort in carrying an elaborate dress with ease and style. A snug fit ensures that body contours are shown off elegantly.

A corset is typically made of a flexible material such as cloth or leather with built in channels that are inserted with a stiffening material that allows the garment to stay in the styled shape. The construction of this garment is a skilled art known as corsetry. The tightness of the corset is maintained by tightening or loosening the lacing that is provided at the back of the garment. When appropriately tightened at the waist, the corset can be most effective in reducing the waist line by several centimeters. A properly fitted corset should be comfortable and at the same time, attain a stunning result of clothing a woman in the most sensuous way.

A corset can prove to be a useful piece of underwear for both large breasted and small breasted women. Whereas small breasts get nicely uplifted for a larger look, large-breasted women have found that a corset will carry the weight of their assets much better that the shoulder straps of an ordinary bra. Apart from an instantaneous reduction of the waist line, the overall appearance has a thinning effect and encourages good posture. But it is important to remember that this garment has to be made well fitting so as to ensure that it does not hamper breathing or cause any restriction of body movements.
