Layering Season

As the days get a little cooler and we look ahead to staying stylish while keeping warm, the art of layering begins..

Our most popular layering piece is a little longer than the usual camisole which makes it perfect for either tucking into pants or pulling over leggings for a tunic foundation. The SNUG cami is designed with sheer modern tops in mind - it has wide straps, a scoop neck and a smoothing back to completely hide your bra. This one-size item takes care of any muffin top while providing either a pop of fun color or discreet neutral to your outfit. Many women wear them for sleepwear as well as to gym!

Coobie Cami Halter Style

For even more comfort and customization, our Coobie lovers will be delighted with the Coobie cami! This is a lovely seamless wirefree bra built into a smoothing camisole. Wear without a bra for lightweight modest support to 36D or take out the thin shaping pads to wear with your own bra. Another one-size wardrobe saver available black, white, nude and pomegranate.

The next step up from the Coobie cami comes from elegant designer Arianne. This is another bra-replacement item that comes with soft modesty pads and a fitted bust. The silky material and A-line cut layers beautifully under clothes, with a touch of lace at the V-neck. Available in either Black or Nude.

Lysse Top

Beyond our typical ultra-comfortable shaping camisole by Shapeez, the sensational Lysse has not only done it again this year with tummy-smoothing leggings but also a revolutionary layering design they call Back Beautiful. This tunic-length raisin-colored top has a compression tank built into the garment. Wear your favorite bra and rock the sleek look effortlessly.

Back Beautiful

However, if you are looking simply for a moisture-wicking compression tank for either active pursuits or just everyday, Moving Comfort offers a basic, athletically styled black tank. Other recent arrivals include Cuddldud's cotton/nylon camisole - with a lace V-neck this black or white tank is a staple in any winter wardrobe.

If you need more warmth than a camisole can offer, Cuddlduds also includes a long sleeve crew neck as well as leggings in their collection. Easy to care for, moisture-managing warmth on those cold days ahead! And don't forget to check out this year's SnowAngel, you will forget that these layering pieces are techwear because they are so cute in such flattering styles and colors. Certainly a case of great fashion meeting necessary function.

And finally, I present you with my personal pick for the holiday season - the Wacoal B-Smooth BodySuit. This tummy-controlling one piece combines a low back with wire free support. Makes all your formal outfits infinitely more wearable, and the comfort is second to none.

Halloween Costume Accessories!

"The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears."

Happy Halloween! Even if you aren't out trick or treating this year, there are always excuses to dress up - including a lovely event in Boxborough on November 1st. Read more about the Moulin-Rouge-themed Masquerade Ball here.

For a sheer or skintight costume, shapewear can make an exceptional costume wearable and comfortable! For instance, we usually have a run on Curves the week leading up to the 31st - a figure flattering body-stocking style shaper improves a myriad of silhouettes.

Pirate wench, Renaissance lady or Frankenstein's Bride? For anything off the shoulder or just straight up strapless, a fitted and secure foundation makes the rest of the costume look stunning.

And for the final perfect touch - sheer fishnet stockings or sexy hose with an attached garter? Lightly textured tights or plain black leggings? The favorite so far this year has been the backseam hose - so retro!

Assess your Halloween needs and I'll see you soon!
