Lingerie purchases stir up all kinds of emotions!

What do I mean by this you ask?

A Bridal Gift of Fine Lingerie

A mother-in-law purchases a gift for a bride. This can be an exciting, perplexing gift with many nuances. Do I purchase conservative for my daughter-in-law, racey, risque, what will my son want for his bride? Am I stepping over a boundary? What will guests think at the Bridal Shower when opening my gift to her?

The Bride

Needing a corset or bustier for under her dress. The anxiety of her weight and body changing before the wedding is almost always a concern. The dress fitting or needing to be let out. The final fitting, having her bustier on time especially if ordering on line.

If at all possible call your local Fine Lingerie Store and see if you can bring your dress into their store and try on bustiers under your gown. Every piece of lace and boning can make a difference with your dress and you dont want any surprises at your final fitting.

One other tidbit of information:

Always purchase 2 pairs of stockings for the day of your magical wedding. The one thing we hear more than any after the wedding is the bride was so nervous when she pulled her stockings up she ran them and did not have a pair to spare!

The first few months dating:

Do I purchase risque, racey, have I gone over the top? Does it appear like I just want to sleep with her? Is the purchase a gift that can be worn again and again? Is the purchase an article of clothing that can be worn in or out of the bedroom?

This can be utterly perplexing and confusuing for any man. There is a column on our blog called “Ask Alicia” that may assist anytime with questions about purchasing. Its helpful to know her dress and pant size and maybe her bra size if this is not too much of a stretch for you. Make certain if ordering on line you look at the Return Policies before purchasing, and if you have any questions about style, size or fit, call the Internet Store ahead of time to confirm with a size specialist. If the Internet Store does not have a Fitting Specialist on staff, find an Internet Store that does! http://www.pamperedpassions.com has a team of Fitting Specialists awaiting your phone call!

A Post Mastectomy Purchase

Breast Cancer Month is approaching quickly and we thought it pertinent to add this tidbit into the blog. Whatever stage of her journey, this customer has many ways they can be more comfortable duing their experience. From Post Op Camisoles that can be worn during radiation and post surgery, to a multitude of Breast Forms available for women choosing a Mastectomy. These women come in many moods and frames of mind. The women we see that have an upbeat, strong spiritual sense of who they are usually come through their stages the most peaceful of all women.

As you can see from the above storie, lingerie is an emotional purchase, even if its finding the perfect bra to give you relief, yes, relief and comfort are two of the best emotions you can have. Nothing feels like being fit in the perfect bra, or should I say it ranks right up there with the perfect bath, massage, or haircut! The perfect bath is soothing, the perfect massage is a spiritual experience, and the perfect haircut makes you feel beautiful!
