Brilliance....

Hello Sugar....

You've got to give credit to a brilliant woman! I doubt she knew her invention grow into the beautiful range of colors, styles and fits available today.

Caresse Crosby (1892-1970), poet and widow of poet Harry Crosby, had been, with her husband, one of the lights of Paris during the 1920s. Deeply immersed in Paris's literary and art scene and social circuit, the two established Black Sun Press, one of the fine small publishers of its time, noted for the artistry of its productions. She remained in Paris after his suicide in 1929 but returned to New York during the 1930s, remarried and divorced. Her memoir, The Passionate Years (1953), remains one of the best views of American ex-pats in Paris during the 1920s.

On November 3, 1914, the U.S. Patent Office issued a patent to Caresse Crosby under her maiden name, Mary P. Jacob, for the 'Backless Brassiere', the first modern bra design.

Whalebone futures presumably nosedived.

Way to go Caresse!

Gift Wrap....

Hello Sugar,

'Tis the Season to wrap yourself in something soft and soft and sensuous. So, while you're out "making a list, and checking it twice," be sure YOUR name is on there, and pick up some beautiful lingerie to slip into once your day is done. While you're at it, pick up a set to set the tone for the next day.

Hmmmm, what kind of woman are you? Silk, cotton, jersey, blend? Depends on the day and your mood, right...? Thong, biknin, shorty, knickers? Oh, a high-cut brief. A full-cup, demi, balconette, or bralette? A beautiful teddy, camisol, chemise, a baby-doll? Or maybe even a fabulous corset? Perhaps a set of comfy PJ's?

Whatever you choose, YOU ARE A PRESENT WORTH WRAPPING!

Par-Tay

Hello Sugar,

It's official! The West 3rd Street Annual Holiday Party was a smashing success. Happy people, beautiful clothes, great music, drinks and snacks. Even Santa made and appearance! We met lots of new friends. The weather was chilly. The lingerie -- HOT!

Luxury or ...?

Hello Sugar,

I've noticed advertisements touting lingerie as a "luxury," item -- suggesting, "splurge, you're worth it". My question is, "who writes this stuff? When did an every day item of clothing in made in a quality fabric, offering amazing support become a "luxury"? And, WOW, we need someone to tell us "it's okay" to "go out and buy yourself something nice".... Why don't they add, "Little Lady, and a patt on the butt to the end of the sentence.... Gee, REALLY?

I say, invest in pieces that are made well, fit you like a glove, enhance your wardrobe, and make you feel like the GODDESS YOU ARE! Is it a luxury? NO, it's just good sense! Lingerie, like any other item of clothing, can be tailored to fit you like a glove. Correction, "good lingerie" can be tailored. This also extends the life of your item - thereby increasing its wearability and overall in your wardrobe. Catch my drift....

And Lovelies, PLEASE wear your lingerie. Don't save it for a "special occasion". THAT's when it becomes a luxury.

You are Divine ~

Snuggle Up....

Hello Sugar,

As the mercury drops this evening it's the perfect time to to feel warm and fuzzy.

Take a moment to slow it down, put something on that hugs your curves -- sip a warm drink, add some music, your favorite snack(s), fall into your favorite part of the sofa or chair, and snuggle up to someone (or something) even warmer. Ahhhh....

Enjoy your evening...

Sugar Lilie...

Tie me Up...!

Have you ever been "Corseted"? I'm not talking about one of those cute little numbers you find at department stores, but ACTUAL "CORSETS" like the ones worn from the 16th Century through the Victorian Age! With steel boning, custom fitted to your body! THE REAL DEAL!! It's THE most amazing feeling EVER!!!! A complete transformation! The best thing is watching a skeptic go from, "oh I'm not a corset person," to coaxing them into just trying one on; to, "holy crap, I'm SMOKIN HOT," in a matter of minutes.

No matter your size, from petit to the voluptuous, have someone "tie you up, and feel your VA-VA-VOOM go through the roof!!!!

Lingerie or a Six-pack?

This is a question many women ask themselves when setting out to purchase undergarments.... "Do I invest in lingerie, or do I run over to the local Super Store and pick up a "six-pack" of underwear?"

Sadly Ladies, too many of us are opting for the latter as evidenced by the ill fitting bras, panties (VPL's), and "ho-hum" attitudes we see around town.

You would not dare step out to an event without that great black dress and killer Jimmy Choos, why not start with the foundation.

Lingerie is a personal investment that will last, where the quick bag of undies will only serve the purpose for the moment.

As the saying goes, " You get what you pay for," and Comfort, Fit and Feeling Good has no price tag.

Hot Milk for Haute Moms!

That's Right! After shopping for my fabulously stylish pregnant sister-in-law and coming up empty handed, I was bound and determined to carry a maternity line at Sugar Lilie that would make expectant and new Mom's feel like the beautiful, sexy, divine goddesses they are! Enter "Hot Milk". Enter comfort, cute, sweet, sexy -- great fabrics, fit, and functionality -- all rolled into one FABULOUS little package.
