Atomic Redhead shops Foundations

Vintage fashion blogger, Atomic Redhead, paid a visit to a local store for foundation garments and picked up a Rago Shapewear girdle there!

"I purchased a fabulous Rago six-point girdle, and a pair of Birkshire stockings, a brand I haven’t tried before, and I’m really excited to take them for a test drive.  To top things off, both Rago(who has been in the foundation business since for over 65 years) and Berkshire items are made in the US!"

Body Image in The Mirror

A bra fitter discusses self-image in the fitting room on The Lingerie Addict. Anyone who criticizes herself in front of the mirror should take a look at her valuable insight!

"What saddens me most is how many clients become apologetic for the state of their bodies when confronted with the mirror:  I didn’t do my hair today.  I need to lose weight.  I have a sun burn.  I have stretch marks.  My bra is horrible.  I’m disgusting.  A physical object should not have so much control over a person’s self-esteem and emotional state." 

- Erica Windle of A Sophisticated Pair
