Lingerie Drawer ReVamp

Why are we holding on to lingerie and all it encompasses from decades back? Its time to get it together and rid ourselves of ill fitting, faded, falling apart undergarments. Keep in mind the same is true for your nighties, baby dolls, chemises, teddies and negligees. If our lingerie is ill fitting then it defeats the purpose. For some reason we will buy a different size in clothes as our bodies change in one direction or the other, but we have a difficult time doing the same for the undergarments. Throw away any girdle, bras, pajamas, panties, lingerie that is tattered, stained, stretched out, etc. I am an avid believer that this sacred drawer should be purged twice a year.

Start by going to the lingerie department or specialty bra store and get fitted for the proper size bra. Measure your waist and hips to determine your underwear size. Many of us want to pretend the number is irrelevant, but that notion is far from the truth. Based on that lovely info, time to gage what sizes we really need to wear for proper fit. Understanding that without a neat undergarment canvas, whatever is painted on top will not work to its potential.

A neat trick I picked up along the way for women is to take out those bras and matching undies that are still in great shape but don’t fit and place them in a vacuum sealed bag. As we revisit the process and revamp that drawer, down the line our sizes may change. In those cases some of the items in the vacuum bag can get reintroduced into the drawer.

I am an advocate of feeling feminine and sexy under your cloths. Try it, it goes a long way. We can have a bad hair day, have on loungewear or the dreaded fat pants. But with that sexy properly fitting set of undergarments we feel a whole lot better. Now that you know your correct sizes you can pick up great deals when you see them throughout the year. A well-stocked lingerie drawer with good fitting options is the perfect beginning to any fabulous day or night for that matter!
