Gok Wan Shapewear - Petit Post

Sometimes when we have just one image we wish to share, we just post on our Facebook or Twitter page, but so many of our regular blog readers miss out on it (hint, hint, you should follow us on both of those sites).  In this case we wanted to share this beautiful picture from the Gok Wan Shapewear collection in what we are calling our petit post.  The 'Slicker Knickers' and 'Banger Booster' (aka the bra) appear quite lovely in this shot; it's refreshing to see shapewear that can be so sexy!  The rest of the collection, though attractive, doesn't come off as impressive as this image and therefore didn't make the cut for our blog.  However, you can see more of Gok Wan's designs (which includes a regular lingerie collection) and learn who he is (apparently a well-known UK stylist) on his website.  

Made by Niki - Fresh Foundations {new arrivals}

It is generally assumed that shapewear is unattractive, or more-or-less something you wouldn't want another soul see you wearing on its own. Until recently, we would have agreed with you whole-heartedly! However, all of that has changed with the arrival of Made by Niki's 'Fresh Foundations' collection. Fresh Foundations is an attractive shapewear line that gives women "the chance to lift, cinch, flatten and flatter their curves with ultimate sex appeal. Finally, you can have the ultimate figure and be glamorous and alluring when it's time to undress."
We brought in the most popular pieces from the range, and we love each one equally! The Front-Cinch Bra is a great piece - it's a bra that does not have padding or underwire, but has a superb construction that renders pads and underwire unnecessary. It fastens in the back, but has a unique adjustable front-cinch that allows you to alter how the bra fits in the front - pretty clever! The bras run snug, and we actually provide a fit guide for them when you view them online.
The other pieces, such as the Magic Bum Girdle and the Secretary Suspender Skirt, do an amazing job giving you a trim, slim silhouette without compromizing your style. All you have to do is take a look at the pictures in this post to see that!
On a side note, Made by Niki is the same UK-based label that creates the limited edition, numbered lingerie sets. We still have a few left in stock!
