What to wear under there - Asian Persuasian & Explorer
Posted by Rachel on Mar 3rd, 2008
You can check out the new looks at E-Stylist for this in-between time of year. It’s not quite spring yet, but we’re sick of sweaters and starting to travel…
The first look, Asian Persusian, features this darling black and white floral print dress. Similar tunics and kimono-styles are all over the place right now for young women’s fashion. We love the plum colors in this one from Forever 21.
Getting the right bra for this type of top depends on 3 things:
- Is the top see-through?
- How low cut is it?
- Does the v-neck in front also continue in the back?
A bra that is cut low enough for a deep V like the tops shown here is a Plunge Bra. The center gore is a bit wider between the cups so that there is less of a chance the fabric of the cups will show along the edges of the neckline of the shirt. A super sexy bra that would accomplish this is Aubade’s Asako Ou L’eveil Des Sens plunge bra with removable padding.
The bra sits below the bustline and pushes up for cleavage, and has removeable foam inserts to increase the bust size if desired. Trimmed with lace at the cleavage, it has an outer layer of finely pleated mesh that is finished with a ribbon rose. It comes in black up to a size D cup. It has a matching thong and boyshort, both accented with a Leavers’ lace front panel that is divine and ribbon roses.
For all over slimming and shaping, Annette makes a Fiesta bodysuit with a deep plunge in the front and the back. The detachable straps can be crossed at the back and the supportive body accentuates the waist. It fastens with two hooks at the crotch and has a thong back. The bra features underwire and stretch foam cups like a t-shirt bra. Comes in nude or black for B-C-D cup sizes.
Hanro’s Sensual Plunging T-Shirt Bra virtually disappears under thin fabrics. Seamless, lined, contour, underwire cups of stretch microfiber are cut in a demi shape and padded to enhance the bust. The off-black color they call “phantom” works well with all dark colored clothing, and the “skin” is a dark nude that will satisfy many darker skin tones.
The kimono dress is shown with H-O-T Marc Jacobs red patent heels. The flow of the dress with the rounded toe and silhouette of the pump will take femininity to the max! We love the versatility of the Berkshire Ultra Sheer “Hose Without Toes”f or a smooth look to your legs that can be worn with many spring shoes.
The next outfit put together by the E-Stylist was Curvy Girl Explorer. The button-down safari shirt dress comes in womens plus sizes in 2 cute colors. We’d like to see the kahki with a few buttons undone, showing the top of the Bali Lace’n Smooth All-In-One Stretch Bodysuit in black peeking out of the bodice.
Felina also makes a cami/tank of stretch microfiber that is seamless with a smooth, laser-cut edge. The chocolate brown or marine blue would look great under the tan top!
The pants paired here are from Fashion Bug in sizes 16-26. The tailored stretch pants of rayon/nylon/spandex just scream “panty line” so watch out! Calvin Klein’s Perfectly Fit Seamless Bikini Panty is tagless and made from stretch microfiber, so they will disappear under clothes. For a panty that sits higher up on the waistline, check out the Hanro Simply Cotton Hi-Cut Brief Panty.
