It is a known fact that most women are constantly looking for a way to become thinner.  That is the reason why shapewear was created in the first place!  Well, when I found out that there is new Cadolle Shapewear, I had to show you guys exactly what you are looking for!  This post came from our friends at the Lingerie Post and I swear, they really know what they are talking about!

Shapewear is something that I wear almost everyday and it really does make a huge difference.  One of the greatest things about shapewear is the fact that it really does slim you down and definitely makes you look incredible all over the place!  Whether you want to be a size two or a size twelve, shapewear is absolutely your friend!

So check out the latest and greatest in the way of shapewear and I can promise that you are going to absolutely love it!

One of the designers whose work is showcased is Clare Bare from Brooklyn, New York. Creating pretty little bloomers from vintage fabrics, bygone trimmings, and organic cotton, Clare produces limited edition pieces. Believing that one’s body is beautiful, she does not make her lingerie to cover weaknesses. Further, she feels that flaws do not exist unless attention is brought to them by way of making something to “fix the problem”. Thus, any body shape can wear Clare Bare bloomers, bras and tank tops.

You really must see this small collection. Not only is it pretty, fun and comfortable, but the materials used to create the vintage lingerie are creativity at its finest. For example, the Paper Bag Waist Bloomers are made from a vintage curtain. Now that is artistic!

Acquired earlier this week at a British auction in Derby England, the royal knickers boast a fifty inch waist with drawstring and open-crotch. Barbara Rusch, the Toronto, Canada woman who is the lucky winner, has collected Queen Victoria’s items for the past twenty-five years. Not only was she the winning bidder of the bloomers but she also obtained a Queen Victoria chemise, with a bust size of sixty-six inches, for a mere eight thousand dollars. It was valued at six hundred dollars.

Most of Queen Victoria’s undergarments were embroidered with her initials VR (Victoria Regina) crested with her crown above. In addition to the knickers and chemise, Barbara also owns a pair of pink hand-embroidered silk stockings and other pieces from Queen Victoria’s garments and jewelry.

As the president of The Ephemera Society of Canada, Barbara has permitted her private collection of Queen Victoria items, entitled “Ephemera from the Age of Victoria”, to be displayed for the enjoyment of the general population.

Aside from being a luxury line of lingerie, the pieces offer unique creativity. One of those inventive pieces is the Garter Tank, an ingenious long tank top with satin garters. Another feature of the Kiki collection is the “Pin Up” line. The Sauvage includes a ruffled pin up bra with vintage inspired corset styled ruffled panty both made to resemble the lingerie the Pin Up Girls wore in earlier years.

Not only are the garments impressive, but the two flagship boutiques were created with the same emphasis to detail, luxury and quality as the lingerie. The Los Angeles, California boutique, pretentiously landscaped with gardens, speakeasy-inspired gates and a courtyard fountain, boasts three thousand square feet of space with velvet dressing rooms, fireplace and candles throughout.

And while it should be noted that some of the items are indeed of a fantasy nature, there is nothing trashy or shabby about them. On the contrary, the items are pure extravagance. Take for example the silver tipped riding crop or the feather tickler with leather wrapped handle.

Girlfriends of the bride looking for a bridal shower gift at Kiki, can expect to find a gorgeous and expensively handmade beaded blindfold in silk satin and French lace. Or maybe they prefer to give her the lavish ten foot pearl restraints which come with a price tag of $4200.

Now that is luxury!
