How To Care for Your Lingerie
The very word ‘lingerie’ often provokes a coy smile on a woman’s face. It can be incredibly expensive and wondrously luxurious and every girl knows that sexy lingerie is an essential part of the mating process. Imagine what you would look like if you chose to wear an ill fitting bra or a thong that cut into your skin! Even worse, imagine if that delicate, gorgeous (expensive) stuff you bought for yourself or your man gifted to you is ruined after one wash. Wouldn’t you be moved to tears!
We all know that lingerie is made of delicate material. Compare for example a nice lacy camisole with your rough and tough jeans. You can’t possibly think that they can endure the same rigors in your washing machine. Just try doing it and you will soon find how well lace and silk stands up to the boil wash! Trust me when I say you will be rooting around, digging out the spares pants if you try to wash them together. Loose straps and out of shape cups, pulls and plucks; none of it makes you look sexy.
All the lingerie that you buy will come with a tag explaining how to maintain it. Keep that tag! Don’t rip it off to look sexy otherwise you will end up looking just the opposite because of bad washing. You can often cleverly conceal the tags while wearing your favourite slinky undies. If you can’t however, carefully cut it out and keep it safe.
Dry cleaning is no doubt a good option but just imagine taking you dreamy lacy or maybe racy teddy which your guy bought you as a special present to the cleaners. It could be embarrassing!
Thinking of doing it yourself? It’s easy to just toss your garter set into the washing machine after you’ve had a little play, however don’t cry if you later find the lace in shreds. In case you HAVE to wash in a machine then the least you can do is put them separately in a mesh bag and then toss it in the machine. But don’t be lazy and dump them all together, you must put only one in each bag and don’t forget to fasten the hooks and close the zippers and tie the draw strings. Otherwise they will all become tangled with each other and knots in lace stockings rarely come out without a fight.
The best you can do when washing yourself is use cold water and soft detergent for your lingerie which has lace trimmings, hooks, ribbons and eyes. You should wash different coloured materials separately. There are special detergents available for washing lingerie which are normally labeled “for delicates.” You should use them to care for your expensive stuff.
Even if you are not fanatical about washing you should at least fill a bowl with warm water and soak your little bits of lingerie in soft detergent for 30 minutes. Throw away the water and refill the bowl, again leave it for 30 minutes. It’s as simple as that. Never wring it out or it will lose its shape. Dry it flat and avoid tumble dryers for drying.
Different material lingerie is washed in different ways. Satin baby doll, silk chemise and chiffon which are extra delicate will be ruined if you use dryers on it. For acrylic and cotton lingerie you may either hand wash or dry clean it. Both are acceptable. You may even toss it in the washing machine at times. They are sturdy. You may wash nylon in the machine but dry it at low heat only.
If you follow these instructions then your favourite lingerie which you or your someone special bought you will stay in good shape for a long time to come and will bring back all the fond memories attached with it.

Robin Antin Premieres New Lingerie Line....shhh
Robin Antin, the founder of the Pussycat Dolls and Girlicious, launched her sexy lingerie line called "shhh"... at the Mercedes-Benz Autumn 2008 LA Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City. Don't you just love, love, love the three-quarter leggings?
And here's a reel from the show:
The lingerie line is available at La Senza and Bebe online and select Bebe stores.
The Corset Factory
Speaking of corsets...here's a more delightful view.
I just ran across The Corset Factory and they have some of the cutest girly corsets I have seen. All custom made, their styles range from rockabilly pinup, to Gothic and punk. Lots of polka dots, bows and lace. Check them out at thecorsetfactory.com.

The History of Lingerie....Flat Chested Babes?
Can you imagine an era in history when flat chests were a fashion statement? A time when one of the biggest assets women own were played down? There was indeed a time and you wonder how men got ever got their kicks!
Women wore corsets and the sole purpose of these tight fitting pieces of undergarments was to make the woman as flat chested as possible. Thank god we were not there when fashion was so dreary!
Then, hallelujah, in 1889, came the turning point for women. An imaginative and bold, fashion conscious woman, Madam Cudelle, cut off the midriff of her stiffening corset so that she could move her waist more freely whenever she saw a dashing young man and needed to turn around in a hurry. At that moment the modern bra was born. All you ladies must say thanks to her soul.
Since then women have discovered one way after another to display their charms in such a way that no man could possibly ignore them (both of them). Thanks to the male appreciation for the female assets.
However in 1907 American Vogue magazine showed a rigid brassiere with no separation between the breasts. You may not believe it but it was worn over the corset. After five years of tolerating this costume, (if I may call it so) Mary Phelps invented the first modern bra using two lacy handkerchiefs and her maid’s help. This you may say was the beginning of all the tasteful lacy stuff we wear today. She was a smart woman.
In 1918 corset-makers were still stitching up bras which had been designed to flatten rather than enhance but thankfully it did not last too long. These manufactures were overlooking the fact that curves are much more attractive than uniformity (I wonder why their wives didn’t guide them) and that women had started to realize where their charms lay. Thus the corset was a big flop and soon the bra with divisions was introduced. But they were still far from the wonderful concept of cup sizes which came in 1938.
Gradually padding and underwiring became hidden in bra cups. This was possibly the best move a designer ever made, scheming but clever. Now you can flaunt whatever you have and in case you don’t have much to boast of, you can still bluff your way about. Strangely though, things seem to be reverting to the good old days with items such as the no-bounce sports bra, comfortable but not what you would call true lingerie.
Today lingerie is probably one of the biggest industries around. You could say men and women everywhere are enjoying the unique sensuality that this type of garment provides when worn by a female who likes to seduce her guy (or any guy for that matter!). The variety available is enormous and it comes in all shapes and sizes and colours and styles so that every occasion is covered. Just check out some of the internet sites to see how far we have come and let your imagination run wild.
