I, and several of my sissy sisters, are big fans of the very womanly and full cut panties sold by Shadowline Lingerie. In fact, I've even had "matching panty days" with one of my sissy sisters. If you ever feel like joining us, well just let me know!
Today's post is from the Shadowline website blog. I loved reading it and hope you will as well.
New Year Lingerie Drawer Overhaul: The Must-Have Essentials
Wouldn’t it be nice to always have the perfect underwear for whichever outfit you pick out in the morning? You can make
that a reality. All it takes is a little reviewing and refreshing of
your current lingerie drawer, and that ‘new year, new start’ mood is the
perfect motivation to do it.
Step 1: decide what needs to go
Start by taking a look at all the underwear you currently own, checking for anything worn out which needs replacing. There’s also no point hanging onto items which no longer fit or which are uncomfortable.
Be honest with yourself. You may love a particular bra or panty, but
if it has seen better days, just think about how much more you’ll love
having a fresh, flawless new replacement – or an upgrade!
Step 2: work out what you’re missing
Second, try to identify any gaps in your collection. Do you regularly
find yourself running out of a particular lingerie style or color? Then
you’ll benefit from having more of it.
Do you find yourself avoiding certain garments in your closet because
you never seem to have the right thing to wear below them? Consider
what the ideal underpinnings would be – something that elegantly fills
in a too-low neckline perhaps, or which doesn’t create a visible panty
line – and that will tell you what you need to shop for.
Step 3: ensure you have the basics covered
No lingerie drawer is complete until you’ve got enough great-fitting,
comfortable and practical pieces to meet your day-to-day needs.
Everyone’s ‘essentials’ will be a little different based on personal
preferences and the types of outfits you typically wear, but here are
some suggestions to help you figure out your own must-haves:
Essential everyday briefs
It pays to have a variety of panty silhouettes in your collection, to suit different outfits. For example, hipster briefs are a great for staying hidden when you’re wearing pants or skirts with lower-rise waistlines, while high-waisted briefs offer a smoother silhouette under close-fitting dresses. And for pencil skirts or pants, high leg underwear is a great option since it won’t create any visible lines at the upper thigh.
Endlessly-versatile camisoles
Camisoles are so multi-purpose – here are seven ways to wear one – that we truly believe they should be a staple in every woman’s
wardrobe. Layering one under itchy sweaters for softness, or using one
to add some modesty to a sheer or low-necked top, are a couple of many
suggestions, so it’s always handy to have a few camisoles in your
closet.
As a starting point, consider choosing one in cozy cotton for cold weather, and one with a lace trim for when it’s just seen. A camisole with a reversible neckline is also a great first piece that gives you options!
Smoothing, comfort-enhancing slips
Similarly, slips can serve a variety of purposes, from creating a
comfy base layer to erasing visible bra and panty lines, to reducing
static cling from your skirts. Read more about all the reasons you'll love owning a slip here. If you’ve never owned a slip before, we suggest starting with a half
slip in a short or midi length which you can wear below both skirts and
dresses with various hemlines. But full slips and even pant slips are also available.
Step 4 (optional): treat yourself!
Once you’ve decluttered your lingerie drawer and stocked back up on
the basics, any leftover budget can go towards those stylish,
just-for-fun pieces you’d simply love to have. You may not wear these
pieces quite so often, but they still deserve a spot in your collection.
Maybe that means indulging in a vintage style babydoll or some lacy panties for special occasions. Or it might mean adding some more decorative
variations of your favorite go-to basics, such as a beautiful satin and lace slip to complement your simpler nylon ones.
Reorganizing and refreshing your lingerie collection is an easily
achievable start-of-the-year goal. Take a little time out this weekend
to sort through yours and you’ll breeze through the rest of the year,
never having to worry about whether you’ve got the right underwear for
each day’s outfit.
Well I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did. Did you feel more and more feminine as you read it????
Love,
sissy terrie 💗
