I’m forty-five now.
I was given my first lingerie set when I was 13. It was a cut pale green bra and my mother turned it into a real festive occasion. That’s probably where my love of lingerie comes from.
I now have four children (including twins) and my figure has changed quite a bit! But by always wearing beautiful, well-fitting lingerie I know I can achieve amazing results, like a wonderful neckline.
My round sloping shoulders played tricks on me for years though. One bra strap would always slide off. Not pleasant, but it seemed to be just one of those things, at least for me. Until a great new lingerie store opened in the village. I went to have a look of course.
The very friendly and obliging owner welcomed me and asked if she could help. ‘Why not?’ I thought and I explained my problem again. The advice she gave me turned out to be the solution: a bra with shoulder straps not so wide apart but resting in the middle of the shoulders. As it also turned out, I was wearing the wrong size: a larger cup and a smaller band size proved ideal. Her perfect advice was a real eye-opener for me: it worked!
I’m now one of her loyal customers, but I do still have a problem: how to resist so much gorgeous lingerie every time.
Fortunately I have four daughters and I start the lingerie adventure with them just like my mother: every buy is a little ‘lingerie party’.
