Male chauvinists take heart - unisex
styling may be invading some areas of
fashion, but the lingerie and loungewear
markets are completely safe from such
influences.
New collections to justice to the “total
woman’’ concept, from old-fashioned
looks lavished with ruffles, ribbons and
bows to frankly sexy silhouettes with low-
cut necklines and seductive slits.
These romantic styles are perfect
shower gifts. There’s a wide selection,
from flowing, full-length nightgowns to
brief minis and every length in between.
When assembling a wedding trousseau,
include a variety of pieces that won’t
wrinkle easily when packed for travel,
said Mary Vane, marketing manager for
DuPont, maker of Monece fabric.
For basics, Vane suggests, ‘‘seven
pairs of panties and no less than three
bras; two or three gown-robe sets and a
fleece or casual below-the-knee wrap
robe for lounging.”
Particularly popular for the bridal set
are shorty styles - teddies, chemises and
baby dolls - from provocative flyaway
styles to demure step-ins. Many have
matching cover-ups - both long and short.
Lingerie fabrics should be smooth and
non-bulky to be practical, but to be
pleasurable, as well, they should feel
wonderful next to bare skin. Soft fabrics
such as lightweight crepe, crepe de
chine, china silk, crepe-back satin,
batiste and tricot are recommended.
Some of the finest lingerie on the
soft, smooth fabric is lightweight, yet it
keeps you warm in cold weather, cool in
hot weather. Most silks are hand washa-
ble - in fact, washing renews silk fibers
and makes them look new again.
