The Altamont Court hotel in New Kingston was the venue of the ultimate female shopping experience on Saturday April 4, as Sandra Mullings presented her first Fleur de Femme Lingerie showcase.
Luleh, Blush, Calvin Klein, Marilyn Monroe, DKNY and Baby Phat lingerie were a few of the brands available and which catered to real women of every shape and size.
Mullings' concept came from her personal experiences of trying to find comfortable proper-fitting lingerie. She has now used her experiences to help other women who may be having similar struggles.
Fun atmosphere
Her lingerie party provided a festive, fun atmosphere, where women ate, drank and made themselves comfortable. Women got a chance to see some of the pieces up close and personal in a fashion show for 'everyday women'. Private bra fitting consultations were also available for women to finally find out what their real size is.
"I have come to realise that a woman's breasts factor very greatly into her feeling of sexiness. We always have some sort of opinion about them: they are too small, too large, too skinny, too flat, too low and then some of us are pretty happy with them, but always aware."
The show gave women a chance to rediscover their sexiness instead of being bogged down with criticising their bodies, in keeping with Fleur de Femme's slogan 'Love
Lingerie is not just for Valentine's Day but for whenever a woman wants to feel sexy. This animal print Marilyn Monroe-inspired piece is perfect.
