KEY TAKEAWAYS 💕 Aberdevine lingerie features size-adjustable bras that adapt to body changes, solving the common problem of ill-fitting underwear. 💕The brand uses recycled and regenerated fabrics, including lace made from offcuts of famous Italian manufacturers. 💕Marta faced significant scepticism from the male-dominated industry but persevered to create her sustainable lingerie line. 💕The lingerie manufacturing process is complex, involving skilled seamstresses and up to 30 components per bra. 💕Aberdevine's capsule collection aims to provide versatile options that work with any outfit in a woman's wardrobe. 💕The fashion industry's dyeing processes consume vast amounts of water, equivalent to filling 2 million Olympic-sized pools annually. 💕Marta emphasises the importance of building relationships and surrounding yourself with supportive people in business and life. 💕The brand focuses on creating durable, high-quality pieces that customers will treasure and keep for many years. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that most suddenly don't fit me and I was very upset because they're all very expensive and I said, okay, well, there must be a way of designing something that will fit, you know, whatever happens." "There were quite a lot of men in the industry who, who laughed at me, really, like really just laughed at me. Outrageous. Yeah, it's hilarious. It's, you know, you go to trade fairs, and I was saying, oh, I'm looking for recycled lace." "In order to, you know, be able to accomplish something in life and to, to go, you know, as far as possible, you have to have an amazing support in your family." "Yes, you can have it all, but not all at the same time." "I think it's very, very important to find people around you who will kind of, you know, support you and who will have your back, who will not discourage you." 💥 Join Lesley Craven and I and each week and follow on Apple: https://lnkd.in/d8e_NXpF                                               Spotify: https://lnkd.in/duVsBv39

Why is a bra so much more than intimate apparel? One word: power. One more word: confidence. Okay, fine—three words: beauty. Lingerie has a special power—it’s next-to-skin apparel that’s so intimate, it can uplift, empower, and build confidence. Let’s go back to the beginning: training bras. Remember that first moment when you put one on? For many, it’s a rite of passage. No girl wants to be caught off guard in gym class, with their body making an unannounced entrance, or their bra strap slipping every time they spike the ball. That’s when you start to realize—materials matter. Even at that stage, the elastic in the strap can make or break your day. If it’s weak, after a few washes, you’re dealing with straps that fall no matter how often you adjust them. This is where “training” comes in. It’s not a marathon, but it is a skill—learning how a bra should feel, not just fit. A well-made bra should be so comfortable, you forget you’re wearing it. It shouldn’t pinch, ride up, or slip down—it’s like a little secret, just for you. Not something to fuss with all day. And as we grow, our needs change. Maybe you prefer a little padding for lift, an underwire for support, or the freedom of a bralette. Whatever your style, the technical side of lingerie design makes all the difference. A fraction of an inch off, and that cup pinches where it shouldn’t, or the band digs in. As a lingerie designer, these are the details I obsess over because I know how personal and powerful a well-fitting bra can be. It’s not just about feeling sexy—it’s about feeling like the best version of yourself. Growing up, we all heard about VS, but I started to explore other brands—Maidenform, Bali, Playtex—brands that offered comfort, quality, and affordability. Lingerie became more than an idea of sexy; it became about feeling beautiful and feeling good. Today, brands like ThirdLove and Love Stories remind us that bras are for you. They’re your secret weapon. Whether you choose to show them or keep them to yourself, the journey starts with you.

What is Considered Lingerie? Lingerie is a category of primarily women's clothing that includes various types of undergarments, sleepwear, and lightweight robes. The term "Lingerie" is often used to describe alluring and fashionable garments made of lightweight, stretchy, smooth, sheer, or decorative fabrics like silk, satin, lace, and chiffon. Lingerie can be classified into different types based on its style, design, and purpose. It is an intimate wardrobe item that symbolizes femininity, seduction, and personal expression. https://lnkd.in/g5gUDqkq

Seamless vs. Bonded Underwear: A Comparison for the Comfort-Conscious 👙🧐 When it comes to choosing the right underwear, the battle often boils down to Seamless vs. Bonded. But what sets them apart? Let's dive in. Seamless Underwear: Imagine slipping into an outfit and feeling like you're wearing nothing at all. That's the seamless promise. Crafted without any seams, this underwear offers a silky-smooth finish that clings to your body perfectly, ensuring no lines and no discomfort. 🌟 Bonded Underwear: Then there's the bonded variety. Think of it as the undercover agent of underwear. Two layers of fabric are expertly bonded together without a single stitch. The result? A piece that not only remains hidden under even the slimmest of outfits but also provides that extra bit of support and shaping where you need it most. 💪 While both types boast a no-show finish under form-fitting clothes, bonded underwear steps up the game in support and shaping, making it the go-to for those figure-hugging dresses and tailored pants. 🤫 Now, as you stand before your wardrobe, ready to conquer the day, which do you reach for? Seamless for that barely-there feel? Or bonded for a smooth silhouette with support? We're curious to hear your preferences and experiences.

Dear Christian PCM, Now let's talk about your clothing. All things being equal, NYSC should provide you with A khaki trouser, a pair of white sneakers, a pair of jungle boot, a belt, a NYSC crested vest, a pair of socks, a khaki jacket, a face cap, 2 white shirts and 2 white shorts. They tried, right? Now here is the issue. You would usually be in your common wear which is the white shirt, white short and white sneakers. White gets dirty easily so the ones they give you would not be enough, hence, the need to buy more. The white sneakers you would be given is quite difficult to wash so you would need to get white rubber shoes. You can get baby wipes to clean the shoe during the day. The white shirts are usually transparent so I barely wore the ones they gave to me. Most times, I wear the one I brought from home(I got 3 extra shirts). White is a see through colour so you would need to be intentional about your underwear. As much as possible, go for black or white underwear(from singlet, to boxers, to the girly stuffs). The colours blend with the white outfit you are putting on, any other colour you wear would be showing underneath thereby reducing your steeze and making your underwear very obvious. The white shorts you would be given might be quite short and be looking like bumshorts and you might be asked to tuck your shirt in, thereby making it shorter. To avoid this, buy your own white short or comfortable length or sew it. Ladies please wear black or white tights under the short. Some states would allow you put on mufti on Sundays while others would insist that you put on white on khaki. Just go with a few clothes for Sundays. Go with sleeping wears too. Do not forget your cardigan and bedspread. Yours in Christ, Ajekiigbe Margaret Wuraola.

https://lnkd.in/eSjxDSqB 🔥 Why Should Women Have All the Fun? 🔥 I recently came across this piece in The Guardian from Lucianne Tonti on the recent glow up of men’s underwear, and I’m glad to know it’s not just me that thinks men’s underwear should be getting sexier! Women’s lingerie has gone from being purely functional to a powerful form of self-expression. It’s a reflection of changing norms, giving women an outlet to celebrate their sensuality. Let’s face it—traditional masculinity has repressed the idea that men can feel sexy or sensual. But times are changing, and so are we. From Harry Styles rocking dresses on the cover of Vogue, to men embracing skincare routines and make-up, the lines of gender expression are moving rapidly. The result? Confidence and style are no longer bound by outdated rules. And why should your underwear—your first layer of self-expression—be any different? At FOXE & FABLE, we’re breaking away from plain, old cotton briefs and trunks in a belief that men’s underwear can be more than just functional—it’s a tool for self-expression that helps you feel as good as you look. So, why stick to the boring basics? After all, confidence starts with what you’re wearing underneath. Honestly, you don’t know what you’re missing until you try it! #FoxeAndFable #MensFashion #UnderwearRevolution #Confidence #LuxuryMenswear #Masculinity #Sensuality
