Tailor Made!!!!!!!!!

Kudos to Neiman Marcus at Friendship Heights, Washington DC!!!! May I highlight Ms. Cynthia Hanson, lingerie specialist, extraordinaire! This weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Hanson on finding a support garment, oh, let me just cut to the chase...A bra!!! And for me, in my current state, which is as a nursing mom, with some major tatas; this was a major affair! Well, Ms. Hanson is the best at what she does! Not only was she able to just look at me and bring bras that were within my size range, but they were PRETTY and supportive! Sometimes, for us with larger bosom, it's hard to get both!!! But, Ms. Hanson knows her stuff and she even keeps notes on her customers, so she knows exactly what bra's work best for this rack! I was and always am, thoroughly impressed with her outstanding customer service and excellent product knowledge!!!! In addition, I was also able to have my new garment customized to become a nursing bra, on the SPOT, for an additional, small, fee! Totally worth it!!!!! It just goes to show, that even in our questionable economy, the customer is still number 1!!!!!!!!!! And service, still comes with a smile!!!! Love it!!!!

If you are in the DC metro area, pay Ms. Hanson a visit or just shoot her an email to schedule an appointment at cynthia_hanson@neimanmarcus.com

p.s. Happy Bday Mommie!

Question for the Fashionista...

Kim G asked: What color undergarments go under white????

Fashionista says: Great question Kim and so appropriate for the season. It is during this time of the year that we are faced with the challenge of wearing our summer whites and linens, which call for suitable undergarments. This question holds true for both the ladies and gents. My thoughts...Always go with black!!!! But I have tried chocolate brown and even deep plum under whites and they have both worked perfectly!!!! Also, flesh tones or nudes can work, depending on how sheer the fabric may be. I have found that flesh tones never really match one's true shade, so go with something as close to your skin tone as possible. Ladies, try out www.figleaves.com (thanks EB) for an abundance of ladies lingerie, swimwear, and sizes galore!!!! They carry designer lingerie as well as hard to find sizes like double F!!!!!!! And they have very cute styles! Also, Nordstrom and Neimans have excellent bra specialists to help with finding your true size, because soooo many of us are wearing the wrong size. I myself was included in that bunch, but no more!!!! I have a great bra specialist, Cynthia at Neiman Marcus who even sends me a note or gives me a ring to let me know when new items of my size are available. Also, if you are in the DC metro area and you are in need of some expert advice, check out Dorne Corset Shop(thanks LMC). These ladies know what they are doing and can fit you just right!!!!!!

As for my fellas, always go with a solid color under your white linen pants or white boxer briefs. Only you all can get away with this!!!!!

Until next time... Live Long and Dress Well
