What intimate items was Oprah writing about in the January issue of O Magazine?

First, the cotton kimono-style robe from upscale British pj brand Derek Rose was deemed “ultrachic” on the O List. It’s the Derek Rose Chinese Rainbow long kimono robe. The elegant, long robe has a wide waistband and wrap-around sash like Japanese style kimonos. Fabulous contrasting prints of antique toile and modern stripes. 53″ long. About $275.

The nightime collection also includes a PJ set with square collar pajama top and wrap tie waist capri trousers. Both feature the same contrasting fabrics. The back of the pant waist is elasticised. Inside leg measures 27″.

Then Freya’s Retro Basic padded plunge bra is named the best gravity-defying bra on Oprah’s Best List.

Designed for the needs of a full bust, this molded bra has lined, shaped, underwire cups constructed of stretch microfiber. Foam lined cups smooth out a natural-looking shape. The plunging neckline is great with low-cup tops. A decorative heart pendant is attached to the bow in front. Wide, non-stretch straps for support. If you’ve ever wondered why large sized bras aren’t pretty, here’s the one-word secret: Freya. Freya offers pretty styles in lots of sizes. This one is about $65. Colors: Barelythere, Black, Cameo and White. Matching thong panty available with the same heart, bow and a not-too-low 5″ rise.

Freya was also in the news when their Millie bra earned a full five-star customer top rating on figleaves. Even in size 38JJ, customers rave about this product and its “consistent support”! Balcony and demi styles available. There are few matching panty styles available, but we like the Freya Millie Deep Thong Panty because of its light, crocheted look.

We love Freya for supporting big boobies with style, but also because they are not afraid to use color. Freya’s Arabella Plunge Bra comes in great color combinations like “sorbet” and “peony” - with shades of bright pinks, oranges, melon, black and purple. Some on sale now.

They are also venturing in to new territory with pretty, supportive nursing bras! I’ve never seen this much lace on a nursing bra before - and lord knows when you’re pregnant every bit of style to make you feel less frumy helps!

Thank you Oprah for your suggestions, and thank you Freya for offering pretty full busted, large breasted, big boobied bra styles.
