1) NuBra Feather Lite from Bragel

We recommend to wear the NuBra Feather Lite from Bragel in black. (Comes in size A to C). The NuBra features bra cups with adhesive inside cups, plus front closure for cleavage and lift. You can create different degrees of cleavage by positioning the bra cups closer or farther away.

The NuBra Feather Lite works because it provide a totally smooth and seamless look. No more re-adjusting or checking in the mirror if your bra band is showing underneath your dress

Send us a picture of your dress or top at info@coupdefoudrelingerie.com with a brief description of your dress or top with a challenging neckline (i.e strapless, backless, low plunge, etc... ) from your favorite store and we will help you solve your fashion bra challenge this Spring season. We will post on this blog a picture of your dress, where you baught it and match it with the right bra! It's that simple!

Garter Belt for Dummies: First Edition

Most women don't wear garter belt therefore few know how to put it on. This is one of our number 1 request at the store. How do you put it on?


May be it will take you 15 minutes to put one on the first time but after a few trial and error it will be easy..

Here's our "Garter Belt for Dummies", First Edition

Put the garter belt on, closing it so it rests on your hip bones. It should fit snuglly enough to stay in place when it is tugged at from the bottom.

Slide stockings on carefully. Once your stockings are properly positioned, grab the top of the stocking in front and hook it onto the clip that hangs straight down from the body of the garter belt

Then do the same to the top of the stocking at the back of your leg. This might require a bit of twisting.

Stand straight and adjust the strap length of each garter as needed.

Now put on your thong over your garter belt. This would allow you to take a quick bathroom break and would not require to take it all off. I bet you did not think about that one!

What to look for in a garter belt:

• Take the same size as your panty


• Make sure you can adjust the strap length of each garter.The straps should also be adjustable like bra straps allowing for height adjustments and be relatively easy to use only after a few tries.
  
• Stick with garter belts that have metal hardware, they will hold your hosiery up more securely and the metal hardware will not deteriorate as the plastic will. The clasps are normally the first thing to break on poorly made belts.


• Have a least one black garter in your lingerie drawer.


• Wear it with a skirt (obviously) but not a mini skirt!

Why wear it?

1) Because you are tired of blowing off your money on pantyhose that keep running. At least with a garter you can change the deficient stocking.

2) Because HE LOVES IT! (All men love garter belts ... I don't know one that does not!)

Cherry Blossom Lingerie?

Cherry-blossom madness is about to hit DC, and everyone—is getting into it.


Our new store window has definitely a cherry blossom vibe...with beautiful pale pink color and green to celebrate the season


While the Cherry Blossoms will only last a few days (This year, Rob DeFeo, chief horticulturist for the National Park Service, estimated the peak bloom period to be April 1 through 4), our Spring collection from Simone Perele and Chantelle will be here until May.


So come check out our cherry-blossom-inspired lingerie...and get in the spirit before it's too late!



Chantelle Spring in Bloom

Don't ruin your bra in conventional bra dryer anymore!

We keep telling customers not to put their bras in the dryer because it totally ruins the elastic and compromise the shape and support of their bra.

Well ...wait till you try the BRA DRYER...and no it's not an early April Fool's joke!

Bra Dryer is a simple device which is based on the presumption that the best way to dry bras without ruining their fabric, wiring and padding is to dry them on a shape which resembles female breasts. That's why Bra Dryer is shaped like a female torso.

A very gentle infrared (IR) heat source helps evaporate moisture from the bra fabric while silent fans inside the appliance help remove this moisture.

In short, Bra Dryer will do this:

1. Preserve bra shape


2. Dry bras faster


3. Free your time
   
   ... instead of doing this:
   


4. Damaging bras (as in conventional dryers)


5. Taking too long to dry (when you air dry it)


6. Taking your time (when your dry it with a blow dryer)

So, what do you think?
