Light your fire...

One Small Spark  is all it takes...  Relationships over the course of time can become repetitive and less eventful.  Couple time is only on Mondays and has been rescheduled or cancelled for the last five months.  The lingerie in your drawer is the same lingerie you have owned for years... it fits you differently now, in fact you don't even really feel sexy in it anymore.  You still love each other, but your fire is diminishing and the smoke is preventing you from seeing each other the way you should. No worries - this is more easily fixed than you would think. Lingerie should make you feel like a goddess.  It should hug your curves in all the right places and give you the confidence of a runway model.  What works for you may not work for your best friend.  Maybe you prefer a slinky chemise clung to your body... or perhaps stay-ups with a garter and your most flattering bra. Maybe you have never been the "kinky" kind.  Now is the time to tr

Shopping Smarter, Shopping Local

Stand Tall and Support Small Business  Forget the Mall Does your UPS driver know you by your first name?  Have you spent more money on Amazon than you have spent on groceries this year? Have you done more shopping from your seat than your feet? If you have - it's time to stand up, dust off and make a change. As cheesy as shop small quotes may sound, they are accurate.  #truth When you choose to skip leaving town and grab that pie at your local bakery, pick up a bottle of wine at your local winery, grab some laundry soap at the local boutique or even grab your kiddo a pair of used skates at the second hand sports store in town YOU are in fact supporting a dream.  Every dollar spent at a local small business contributes to actual lives of the owner and of their employees.  It puts food on their tables.  Do you think the founder of Wal-Mart is worried about feeding their family tonight?  Not to mention,  we want jobs in our towns.  When we shop local our busines

Halloween + Lingerie   A Spook-licious Match Halloween has not always been this way, but over the past couple decades it has become a time to step out of your comfort zone.  A time to maybe be a little more risque than you normally would be.  Wear a little more makeup, show a little more cleavage and be a little more scandalous. As you browse the web trying to decide who or what to be this year, you will notice there are very few costumes that aren't considered "sexy".   Society spends countless hours each year at second hand shops, digging in bins, trying to put together the perfect look from head to toe  All they need now is the finishing touches. They need the fish net tights, the bra that lifts their breasts sky high or maybe even a strapless bra.  Do not underestimate the power of the perfect lingerie this Halloween.   Take your costume to the next level this year - if you dare .

Another one bites the dust...

Old Faithful Reliable. Comfortable.  Dependable.    You know the one.  That bra in your drawer. The one right there, all balled up in the corner. The one you reach for more often than you should.  The one that lost the wire on the right side in 2014.  The one with the stain from the red wine you were drinking at your staff Christmas party.  Yeah- the party where you got a little tipsy (maybe a little frisky too).  The one that even on the tightest hook is actually not tight at all.  I think it maybe even has some holes , scratch that, let's call them "air pockets".  I could sit here and give you a ton of reasons why this bra needs to go.  It's no longer supportive, it is not properly lifting.. etc etc.  I won't though, because you already know all the reasons it needs to go.  So instead, let's focus on why you WANT it to go.   YOU want your breasts to sit high and to project forward.  YOU want to feel supported and not have strain on you

A Dose of Good Lingerie to Cure a Bad Day

Feeling down?  Let What's Underneath Lift You Up. You know that feeling when you first get your hair done?  When your toenails are freshly painted?  When you slip into that new dress you just bought? Great lingerie can do that too. Who says you can't wear something scandalous and sexy under scrubs?  There is no rule book that states only grandma style bras can be worn to work.  Sexy lingerie can boost a woman's confidence, make her stand a little taller, feel a little prettier. As women, we love to feel desired.  A locked glance with a tall handsome stranger or an accidental bump into an old boyfriend when you are looking your best.  We crave these moments.  When choosing your lingerie don't take a risk.  Wear the best and only the best. "Don't save your good lingerie for dates, wear it for you" - Dita Von Teese  

Seeking a "WOW" moment..

Image
I'm sure you have heard the quote "A girl in the right shoes can conquer the world"... we all have.   We truly believe a girl in the right bra can conquer more than just the world. We all make excuses for why we haven't had a fitting done: x Embarrassed x Process of losing weight x No time x No money x Worn the same size for years The list could go on. The secret to a "WOW" moment is knowing exactly how your breasts should look and how a bra should fit. The only effort you have to make is to walk through our door.  We will take care of the rest...       You're welcome.    XX

For the love of the game..

May your sports bra be your new BFF.     What is your activity of choice?  Yoga, horseback riding, hockey, running.... etc?  One things for sure, no matter your choice, a sports bra is in order. Let's talk about pain.  Have you ever ran your kids quickly to the bus stop sans your bra?   Bounce, bounce.. OUCH.  Not a feeling I personally like.  Even for light activities keep your breasts locked down to eliminate the pain. Let's talk about sweat.  I don't know about you, but even if I sit around binge-watching Netflix, au-naturalle & bra-less, a funny thing happens.  Actually a stinky thing.  Boob sweat.  Guess what? When you are working out, that boob sweat basically quadruples.  I don't know about you but I do not want any skin on skin contact when this happens so I will be keeping mine separated and supported.  Let's talk about posture.  Okay, so not wearing a sports bra will not directly impact your posture,

OOOOOO... livia.

Hello Olivia...      Fantasie Lingerie has done it again.  Olivia is an absolutely stunning vertical seam bra.  What does vertical seam mean?  Well simply put - cleavage without padding.  You heard it right ladies, give your ta-tas a lift just by wearing this bra. Not only will you be lifted, but you will feel beautiful while wearing this bra.  It is a beautiful shade of Black Cherry.  The floral pattern is modern.  The final touches delicately done with golden trimmings.  You will feel like a million bucks or at least like you are wearing a bra worth a million bucks. You know what is even better?  You will also be comfortable.   This bra gets 5 stars from us.   xx        

Let's talk about Chi Chi

Are you looking for maximum lift and comfort? Look no further than Chi Chi by Panache's Sculptresse line.   It is pictured above in the latest fashion colourway "Teal Floral".  Aside from the breathtaking pattern, Chi Chi has the ability to take your breasts from zero to hero with the fasten of a hook.  The four-sectioned Balconette cups, soft to the touch stretch lace top cup and side sling will give you extra lift while enhancing your natural shape. Not only will Chi Chi lift you up, but you will feel extra comfortable and look fabulous while it works its magic. Remember "Teal Floral" is a limited time fashion colourway - but the everyday base colours pictured below should not be underestimated.   The Cappuccino (Left) is not your standard nude.  It's a soft feminine taupe/pink-ish shade.  The Black (Right) almost has a sheen to it and the little bow in the center (animal print) is the cherry on top.  Show Chi Chi s

We are celebrating 6 years this Saturday!

Wow!  Hard to believe we have been fitting and educating our customers for 6 years already.   What began as a dream the owner, Tefferina Boutilier, had - has become a reality.   We would not have reached this mark if it weren't for the continued support of all the people who either shop with us, follow us on Facebook/Instagram or read our blog. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. Lots of things have changed over the years, but one thing remains the same....   Our only goal is to ensure our customers are wearing a proper fitting bra.  Have you ever been fitted?

Size vs Style

Image
Here's the scenerio... You have been "fitted" and you know your size, but the bra you grab off the rack doesn't fit right.  What do you do next?  You probably get frustrated and start trying different sizes of the same bra without any success.  What should you have done? For one, you could have tried switching up the style. Style Basics. The Balconnete  aka the "Shelf Bra" This bra will lift your breasts while enhancing both the shape and your cleavage. It provides very little coverage and is your best option when wearing low cut shirts.    Jasmine by Panache The Balcony (a non identical twin to the Balconnet) This bra is shaped very similarly to the Balconette but has two distinct differences.  It's much lower in the center exposing more cleavage but is much higher on the sides.  A great option for that v-neck top in your closet.

Confessions of a Fitter

Tales From the Fitting Room Women tend to be harder on themselves than anyone will ever be.  You learn this very quickly when you are fitting ladies for lingerie.  "Look at my back fat".. "They look so pointy".."My breasts are different sizes".. "I've gained so much weight"... all things we hear daily  and the list could go on.  When we watch television or flip through fashion magazines we are so quick to assume that those women never feel the way we feel. That's not true though.  They have all the same reservations and worries about their bodies  whether big or small. I'm here to tell you - you are not alone .   I will also tell you once you find your perfect fit you will know it.  These reservations will melt away because you will stand taller, you will smile bigger and most importantly  you will feel good about yourself.   Confidence is a beautiful thing.   ♡

Bra-tastic Choices for Spring

Image
 Looking for ultimate lift?  Chi Chi by Sculptresse is the bra for you.  We have a select size run in this gorgeous Tulip Print colourway. It's perfect for spring.   Mariella is a brand new bra from Elomi.  It is available for a limited time in this colourway called Blue Bird.  It has a seasonal denim blue base with hints of pink.  What inspired it? "Birds in Flight".  The top cup is cut from a very strong stretch lace which will give you a rounded shape and fit easily and nicely. Elomi has done it again and introduced us to "Rosalind".  This is a very pretty plunge bra that is not a push up.  The colourway it's available in is called Monochrome.  It's mostly black and white, but has hints of guava pink throughout. Also, the embroidery on the top cup has an "eyelash effect", which is truly breathtaking. Matilda is not new to Elomi, but it is new to us.  Let me tell you, its about time we started carrying this

Arianne by Fantasie

Feel fresh with Arianne in this delicate fashion colour Meadow. A pretty floral print in tones of soft lilac and mint are scattered across a powder blue base. The floral design is overprinted on the Swiss-designed embroidery and follows through to the straps. The four part underwired cups gives great uplift as well as comfort and good support. A three toned bow at the centre gore completes the look. Matching brief is available and has the same overprinted Swiss embroidery at the front leg. The super soft fabric will make you reach for this set again and again.
