Sex (and bras & panties) and the City

NO MOVIE SPOILERS!
I just saw “Sex And the City” with my girlfriends. I WILL NOT SPOIL the movie in this post. Please don’t spoil it in your comments either.
The lingerie brand Cosabella in conjunction with HBO has a line of lingerie designed with each character of “Sex and the City” in mind.
The Carrie collection has a lot of black pieces with vibrant red roses.
Are you Carrie, a carefree woman with a romantic view of life? Fashion-forward with an eclectic style all your own? The Carrie collection includes a “Betty” push-up bra, bustier and thong. The bra is soft tulle with floral and leopard print. Underwire, lined, demi cups offer moderate coverage and ruched detailing. The thong has the same rose design finished with leopard trim and is ruched at the front. The “Betty” bustier has a floral print with leopard trim. Underwire, demi cups are lined for concealment. Ruched detail. Adjustable straps, side zipper. You can even wear it with jeans! Made in Italy, Official HBO Licensed Products.
The Charlotte collection is soft bamboo loungewear. Charlotte is all about classic elegance. She always wears a perfect ensemble that expresses her quiet confidence. Chic camisole, lounge pants and low rise thong panty with sweet scalloped trim. The Charlotte Collection features eco-friendly bamboo fiber that is naturally moisture-wicking, keeping you feeling cool and dry.
The Miranda styles feature bright colors trimmed in stretch lace. I never thought I was a Miranda, but these panties might make me want to be her! Are you a Miranda, the independent, matter-of-fact woman with biting sarcasm and a hidden soft side? The Miranda collection includes a molded “Rosangel” bra in sheer, stretch tulle with contrasting scalloped lace trim. Underwire, demi cups provide comfortable support. Adjustable straps and back hook-and-eye closure. Matching “Rosangel” thong made of soft mesh with contrasting stretch lace trim and a cotton gusset and low-rise hotpant (shown here - so cute!) made of soft mesh with contrasting stretch lace trim are Made in Italy and Official HBO Licensed Products.
Samantha’s are firey and lacy-sexy & unapologetically racy, of course! French Chantilly lace in a fabulously bold, passionfruit color. A sensational garter belt of ultra-sheer lace with adjustable back closure. A bra not to be ignored with darts for shaping and underwire demi cups for comfortable support. Key hole detail on center gore. The low rise thong has mesh sides with dot accents and a satin bow at front center. Cotton panel. Daringly low, 3-inch rise.
Also available is the “We’re on a Break” romper worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the “Sex and the City” movie, from The Lake and Stars (shown at right on SJP). The front is cut into strips that fall open and reveal your secrets, the back has a pretty keyhole design. (NOTE: “The Lake and Stars” was a way to describe a woman ‘who is skilled in the bedroom’ in old Victorian.) Supposedly SJP requested this silky piece be included in her on-screen wardrobe. I think it is super cute!!!
Which hot bra do you wear under a revealing top like this one? I would go with the Felina Bra Of The Year Demi Push-up Bra. Check out the great lace style. Seamless, tagless underwire cups of stretch microfiber with a demi cut for the best of the coverage/cleavage world. Graduated push-up pads for natural-looking enhancement. The fabric wicks away moisture to keep you dry. State of the Art with Laser Cut Fabric making it super smooth and giving you a virtually seamless silhouette!
I just have to say that in the wonderful 2 hours and 40 minutes that had me giggling and crying, I saw way too many bra bands. Not straps, like peeking out on their shoulders, but BANDS across their backs.
Backless and deep-V dresses with bra straps smack across their backs. Camis to bed with black skinny bra bands sticking out.
Carrie wears Dior - she wears Vivienne Westwood for gosh sakes, but she can’t find a backless bra?!?
Whoever did the fashion styling for this movie - and with over 80 costume changes for SJP and over 300 for her cohorts there was LOTS of fashion - she should have been able to fit these women in some good backless bras! Oy Vey!
Here’s one: Maidenform’s Breakthrough Backless Underwire Bra is the newest on the market and ON SALE NOW (at time of writing). See how it loops right over your arms?! Seamless, molded demi cups are lightly padded to provide comfortable support. Made of stretch nylon with silicone underwire channel. Side boning for additional support. Front adjustable straps. Cups run large, consider buying one size smaller. As seen on American Inventor! I have not tried this bra yet, but it is made to provide seamlessly smooth support for your chic backless & low-back styles. If you have one, let me know about it, please!
And last but not least, the 60’s glam swimsuit Miranda wears in fire engine red. One-piece Mio swimsuit from Norma Kamali approx $350. BUY ONLINE at normakamalicollection.com to fulfill your vintage vibe.
Didn’t Marilyn Monroe wear this in bubble gum pink??
