Tess Munster Flaunts Self Love

We are told if we are “curvy” or “plus size” to cover our bodies up. To wear oversized clothing so no one will “notice” us..as if people cant see that we are already big?! Its ridiculous. My body is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about because I have a little more then the models that grace the pages of Vogue. My ability to be sexy is not any less because I have a big bum, back fat, or cellulite. I’m not airbrushed for your enjoyment..nor do I need to be to show my body off. If I want to flaunt what I got..I WILL & if I feel like covering up… well..I’ll think about that one  I am healthy, happy, CURVY.. & damn proud. P.s. Lingerie by Torrid & Rago ♡

"The Rago Review: The Classic Corselette" by The Lingerie Addict

Way back in May 2008, during the very beginnings of the now leading lingerie blog The Lingerie Addict, Cora Harrington posted a few thoughts about our shapewear titled "The Rago Review: The Classic Corselette". What she had to say about our work really made us feel proud of our products.

You can read her review of the style 9357 lacette corselette here: http://www.thelingerieaddict.com/2008/05/rago-review-classic-corselette.html

"A corselette is a girdle dress. Imagine your favorite girdle extending from your bust to your upper thighs, hugging every inch of you all day long. If you like girdles (and if you don’t, you should), it’s a marvelous sensation. The tummy panel provides firm control, and the shaping bands on the waist, hips, and derriere all help to keep you pulled in. The lace powernet stretches to semi-sheerness once on and it looks a bit like having a floral tattoo."

Christina Hendricks talks about the foundation garments of Mad Men with Conan O'Brien!
We especially love this conversation since the actresses of this show wear Rago with their costumes.

Girdle Newbies

Never wore a girdle before? If you're curious about it, this blogger covers the basics of what you need to know!

"So you want to wear a girdle?

Then you may want to read this post. There is no doubt that a proper foundation do a lot for the way clothes hang and vintage clothes are made for women who wore that. If you look at these two pictures, it’s the same dress (albeit the second one has added sleeves) and the same me in a dress after a 1950’s pattern. In the first picture I wear modern shapewear, in the second a corset and a fuller petticoat, but the same bra and body weight. I think you will agree with me that the fit is a lot better in the second one..."
