Pampered Passions Care Wear Boutique Opens in Porter Hospital

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie has long been known for their extensive work with pre and post mastectomy patients.  They work very closely with doctors and patients to insure they receive the proper prostheses and garments to make them comfortable and assist in their healing.  Each woman who works for Pampered Passions is specially trained and certified to accurately fit every patient.  But most of all it is the compassion and care each lingerie consultant gives to every woman who walks through their doors that has made Pampered Passions the company of choice for those journeying through breast cancer.

Until now all mastectomy or surgical garment fittings were done on site at Pampered Passions store in Englewood, CO.  But starting on Monday, February 20, 2012, there will be another very special location created and designed just for mastectomy and plastic surgery patients.  Pampered Passions Care Wear (PPCW) will be opening their doors inside Porter Hospital in Denver, CO.  Located behind the gift shop in the main building will be the new Pampered Passions Care Wear Boutique with everything a breast cancer patient needs.

Inside the Care Wear Boutique you’ll meet our Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CMF) who will help you find the right products for your particular needs, based upon your doctor’s recommendations.  They will be offering post mastectomy services, all pre and post-operative care for augmentations, reconstructions, reductions and even basic bra fittings.  Everything you need from compression garments to leisure bras to prostheses can be found in one nurturing, caring place.

Amoena Hannah Front Closure Post-Surgical Bra

Some of the medical brands they will be carrying include Amoena, Sassybax, Design Veronique and Still You, plus traditional bra designers such as Wacoal, Le Mystere and Hanky Panky.  For women who are interested in pocketed bras, Pampered Passions Care Wear will carry a variety of readymade pocketed bras and, in addition, can have a pocket sewn into any standard bra they carry.

You’ll also find head coverings in the boutique for hair loss and post chemotherapy treatment, featuring headscarves, caps and hats. Fashionable and practical, these delightful head coverings come in beautiful patterned and solid fabrics in a variety of colors and styles designed specifically to be comfortable while adding volume and coverage. Sophistication, elegance and comfort all in one!

Along with all the medical garments and prostheses, the Care Wear boutique will also have a selection of comforting and comfortable items to pamper you through your journey.  Relaxing candles, calming oils and books to inspire and educate.  Cozy loungewear to keep you comforted all day and all night, including soft, loose gowns and pajamas plus robes from creators B*UP, Pj Salvage and many more.

Mary Green "Dreaming of Paris" Sleep Mask

To insure you get a great night’s sleep, indulge in a silk sleep mask from designer Mary Green.  These fun masks are silky soft and boast beautiful colors and fabrics with amusing sayings.  You could be “Dreaming of Paris,” enjoying some “Pillow Talk” or just request some “Peace and Quiet.”  Whichever one you choose, it will certainly grant you the rest and relaxation you desire, night or day.

The journey of breast cancer is a long and difficult one, but Pampered Passions Care Wear is there to help in a safe, private environment right in the same place as your doctor.  No more worries about finding the right products to help you heal properly and comfortably.  With the help of our Certified Mastectomy Fitter, you’ll be on the road to recovery with confidence and style.   And we’ll be there for you from post-operative through reconstruction and beyond.

Colorado Uncovered – Imagery and Art Captured and Bound

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder.  In the case of Sherry Whitney and Darrel Pierson of BodyPhotage, beauty is in the shape of the human form, the environment around us and the encompassing interplay of light and shadow.  This husband and wife team are experts in physique photography and have been working together for eighteen years, collaborating on photographs of nearly 7000 people.  Darrel has won numerous awards and national recognition for his work with light and shadow on the female form and for his emphasis on muscle definition and anatomical outlines.  Together they have created myriad compositions utilizing “bodyscapes” and landscapes in artistically distinctive combinations.

This year Sherry and Darrel bring us a unique collection of photographs taken all around the state of Colorado.  Their journey took them to well-known and not so well locations that embody the beauty, history and generally interesting features of the Centennial State.  But what makes this collection stand out is their use of one nude model (tastefully done) in each of their images.  Introducing – Colorado Uncovered.

This stunning collection of imagery is combined together in an 11”x 14,” 112 page, hard-covered table book that is “bound to stimulate some conversation.”  What started as a single image of a nude woman enjoying her latte at a local café has turned into this exciting, wondrous assembly of dynamic photography.

According to Sherry and Darrel, reactions to their book have been “surprisingly consistent.” From “No way!” to “Can I be in your book?” and just about everything in between.  I know some people might think this book is unthinkable – nude images, of course, are inappropriate (yes, that’s sarcastic).   But when you see the incredible images these two have created, you realize the nudes are just another piece of the scenery and in many cases become one with their surroundings.  It is their wish that, “…you’ll find pictures you enjoy for their beauty, color and composition…”  Of this, I can assure you.

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie has partnered with BodyPhotage over the years in various aspects of business.  In celebration of Colorado Uncovered they are hosting a book signing event with Darrell and Sherry.  It will also be a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society.  For years Pampered Passions has participated in and/or created fund raising opportunities for cancer organizations, in particular those related to breast cancer.  Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie is well known for their work with bra and garment fittings and care of those fighting breast cancer.  Fifteen percent (15%) of all proceeds from the sale of these magnificent books will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Be sure to join us at this very special event.  Meet the creative geniuses behind Colorado Uncovered, have your own copy signed, enjoy some refreshments (appetizers and wine) and mingle with other art aficionados, all while benefiting a very worthy cause.  And, of course, feel free to peruse the many splendid lingerie offerings of Pampered Passions.

Bras and Bra Sizing When One Breast is Larger than the Other

Did you know that there is scientific evidence that all women have one breast that is larger than the other?  It’s not the one you would think either. It is the opposite dominance side that is larger. So, if you are right handed it would be your left breast that is larger and vice versa. This could explain why it is so difficult to find a bra that fits perfectly. In recent years some bra manufacturers have developed the half size bra to help those of us who fall between the letter sizes, such as a C1/2 for those who fall between the traditional C and D cup sizes. If they can do that, why not create a bra that addresses the one larger breast issue?

                Why is the least dominant breast the larger breast? Studies say it is due to there being more fatty tissue in the less dominant side creating more mass. Continue reading

A BRA WARDROBE FROM WACOAL

Wacoal is a leading designer of beautiful, comfortable, affordable lingerie, with a true specialty of great fitting bras for women of all shapes and sizes.  While perusing their website recently, I came across this fabulous article on what a bra wardrobe should look like.  I wanted to share this with all of you to assist you when creating and maintaining your lingerie drawer.  Enjoy!

 ************************************************

A BRA WARDROBE

Wearing the right bra can enhance an outfit as much as, or even more than stylish shoes, a matching scarf, or a great necklace. It can make a top drape just right, a neckline plunge perfectly, or cleavage appear in a sexy yet sophisticated way. A properly fitted, high quality bra will provide all day comfort, improve appearance, and inspire confidence. Many women do not place enough importance on their lingerie, often choosing it by price, appearance, or convenience alone. Sometimes it’s hard to know which bra to choose to get the best look. Building a lingerie wardrobe that includes most of these styles will solve that problem because you will always have the bra you need for the look you are trying to achieve.

 

Retro Chic Full Figure UnderwireWacoal seamed bras are worn under suits, blouses, and heavier fabrics, making them perfect for everyday and casual wear. The seams maximize lift and support and provide excellent separation of the breast tissue, which make the bras especially comfortable and attractive for women with full figures. The Wacoal Retro Chic and Embrace Lace are good examples of comfortable and reliable seamed bras.Seamless bras are the perfect solution for fine gauge knits and t-shirts because they provide comfort and support as well as a smooth silhouette. For some seamless favorites, check out Wacoal's Awareness and Basic Beauty Bras.Contour bras are lightly lined making them must-haves when you want great shaping and opacity too. Seamless contours are also winners under t-shirts and knits. Contours come in a variety of styles including some with convertibility. Wacoal offers the French Garden, Soft and Seductive, and a variety of other contour bras.T-back bras work great under sleeveless or tank-styled tops.

Strapless bras are a terrific solution for complicated necklines or eveningwear.  For strapless bras that will stay in place and look great all day (or night!) long, try the Body Suede and Embrace Lace Strapless Bras.

Minimizer bras are a great wardrobe solution for women who would like to appear smaller busted or who would like their clothes to fit better. The average Wacoal minimizer reduces the bust line approximately one inch.  Wacoal offers some pretty and perfect minimizers, check out our Simple Shaping and Elegance Minimizer Bras for some ideas.  Wacoal offers some pretty and perfect minimizers, check out our Simple Shaping and Slim Line Bras for some ideas.

It’s a New Year! Let Wacoal’s b.tempt’d Collections Make a New You

Happy New Year!  Yes, it’s a brand new year and time for those annual New Year’s resolutions.  Or, if you’re like me, I prefer to make a commitment to do something new and/or different each year instead.  Unfortunately, New Year resolutions just seem too easily to fall by the wayside as the year moves on.  But a commitment is something I can make and stick to it.  Not really sure what the difference is, but it sure seems to work for me.

This year I committed to myself to stop looking at lingerie as just that simple something I wear under my clothes, but to expand my horizons and start seeing lingerie as an opportunity to discreetly express myself.  So I went out to my favorite lingerie website (Pampered Passions, of course) and started flipping through the webpages for a line or collection that I’ve not tried before.  Something basic, but not so basic it’s boring.  I wanted color, details, style and comfort.  What I discovered – b.tempt’d!

b.tempt’d is a brand of lingerie launched by Wacoal in 2009.  It was designed to, ”entice the young-minded woman with sexy, sophisticated, and flirty lingerie.”  As with all of Wacoal’s products, b.tempt’d collections offer Wacoal’s signature trademarks of exceptional fit, quality and service.  For me, they accomplish precisely what they set out to do.  B.tempt’d has fabulous lines of gorgeous lingerie that will make any woman fell pretty all under, while fitting her in all the right ways.
