Look slimmer instantly with Plus Size Minimizer bras

A fast and easy way to look slimmer instantly is the minimzer bra. All big busted women should own a minimizer bra. These work wonders on your body shape. Most will reduce the bust size by up to 2”. This can drastically impact the look of your outfit.
Some women use these for special occasions and some wear them everyday. These bras work to hold the breast tightly to the body creating a slimmer silhouette while maintaining a beautiful shape.

A Fashionista to Admire for a Lifetime

One of my first and strongest childhood fashion memories includes me lying in the middle of the our street refusing to get up.

My mother had dressed me and made me leave the house wearing pants with a very small patch on the knee. Although I was extremely young I remember being horrified that I would be forced to wear such unfashionable pants.

What was she thinking? What was she subjecting me to? How could my fashionable mother even think I could wear such pants? How could I survive this? I would have to remain on the road until my mother consented to change my clothes.

I really had no concept of fashion yet or did I?


I was born into a family of dressmakers. My mom and her mom before her created clothes for themselves, their family and often friends as well as customers. My mom would whip up wonderful outfits and wear them with flare.

The first fashionista in my life was and still remains my Mom. She graced my childhood in a glamorous, fashionable, fun way. I would watch the process as she chose a style to make, find the perfect fabric and spend the time sewing and fitting the garment. I would sit mesmerized by the hum of the sewing machine. Then the special event would arrive. I would stare as she teased her hair, applied her makeup and finally slipped on the masterpiece. She was beautiful. She inspired me and started me on my fashion path.

I grew up watching my Mom enjoying the changing fashions of the 60’s through to the present.  She taught me to sew, to appreciate quality fabrics and construction, to always be in style and to love fashion. She is as beautiful and fashionable today as she was in my first memories.



Happy Mother’s Day to my Fashionista Mom .

What has your Mom passed on to you? Tell me your story.

Crystal Renn on the cover of Glamour

brooklyn-decker-alessandra-ambrosio-crystal-renn-glamour-june-2010 Crystal Renn is the most popular plus size model today. It is very exciting to witness Glamour, a main stream fashion magazine, present a cover highlighting models of all sizes.

I must admit that when I first saw the cover I did not recognise the models as being 3 different sizes and did not recognize Crystal either. This really shows how far fashion has come in celebrating diversity. Not far!

I admire Crystal Renn. I have written in the past about her career and the publishing of her book.  I think she is a beautiful model.  I am very disappointed in the Photoshop slimming of Crystal for the cover.  She does not require these changes to present a seductive, fashionable, couture image.

Crystal is 5”9 and 165 lbs wearing size 12-14.
Crystal says, “I want to be a model my way”

I guess the powers that be decide how she should look. Check out her photos and decide for yourself if she needs touching up.

Corsets in Film- the hidden image maker

Corsets are a common item in film and for good reason. There is no other way to create the ultimate support and shaping that a corset provides.

Daphne Zuniga looks stunning on set of the Hallmark production, “Mail Order Bride“. You may remember her from Melrose Place.

Although you cannot actually see the corset, the results are obvious. She sits regally, with perfect posture and a fantastically smooth shape. There is no other way to achieve the period style silhouette other than the use of the corset.

Working on this movie I created this dress for the Costume Designer, with the help of a talented seamstress Wendy. We spent many hours producing this old fashioned garment. It is a pleasure to recreate the elegance of the past and fulfill the designers vision.

Underneath it all she wore a champagne colored satin corset that was a fashion statement in itself. A beautiful costume creation hidden away.

Modern gowns often have a corset built into the structure. You will often see this on red carpet gowns. There is a wonderful look as the bones of the corset slightly shadow through elegant fabrics. Can you picture this orange corset under a fabulous gown?

Most women only consider a corset for their wedding day but in reality they can be worn with so many formal outfits. The outcome….amazing!
