Irresistible Intimates
Where to go for pretty lingerie. (Because we all know you’re not the only one who’s going to see it.)
by Ryan Mendenhall
Ginny’s Underworld. If you have trouble in the bra department (and most women do), owner Susan Towle, who’s been fitting bras for 27 years, can help you find the perfect Chantelle or Wacoal. For fall, cozy up in a Canyon chenille robe or heat it up with some sexy gowns by Claire Pettibone. Preston Park Village, 1900 Preston Rd., Ste. 199, Plano. 972-867-7252.
Trousseau. The bride will feel extra special in rhinestone-embellished “The Mrs.” panties and matching cami. Or give her a dainty Princesse Tam-Tam bra or negligee. The girly and lacy patterns had us pining for a romantic getaway, and they will come in handy on that upcoming honeymoon. West Village, 3699 McKinney Ave., Ste. 103. 214-502-9333.
Lingerie Collection. The store might not be big, but the selection is huge. High-end lingerie from Verena and sleepwear by Amanda Rich are mixed with affordable bras, panties, and nighties. Baby can look just like Mom with cuddly Simple Pleasures matching PJs and nightgowns. For those looking for extra support while they sleep, local line Sleep Top has a great selection of sleeping bras and matching lounging pants. 520 Preston Royal Shopping
Center. 214-691-3710.
Loretta’s Intimates. You should know by now not to walk out the door without BodyWrap shapewear. Find the full line of body suits, boy shorts, and high-waisted briefs, perfect for shaping and erasing panty lines. The store, known for its extensive line of the latest mastectomy products, also carries Felina bustiers, Chantelle bras, and bra-size swimwear. 721 N. Central Expwy., Ste. 420, Plano. 972-633-9100. www.lorettasintimates.com.
Maddox Shop. Old-fashioned customer service has kept shoppers coming here since 1934. The store specializes in post-op items such as surgical bras by Amoena and Camp, mastectomy bras by Airway, and Nearly Me breast forms. But don’t forget to check out the Fancy Free swimwear and Dominique bridal lingerie. 130 Casa Linda Plaza. 214-328-3009. www.maddoxshop.com.
Sheers. The store is described as a bodywear bar, with an actual free-standing counter in the center of the store that allows ladies to peruse necessities such as hosiery, bras, and body suits.
