How Not To Ruin Your Holiday Dress

This year's holiday dresses demand amazing bras and panties to keep everything in the right place. They should also match your skin tone and be seamless so the dress stands out....not your bra and panty lines. Here are a two of our favorite Holiday 2009 dress trends and what bra and panties to wear so you won't ruin the looks. ..

The sheath dress (below) is a great dress for women of different shapes because it's figure hugging and feminine. Not only does it accentuate your curves but looks great with accessories that are bold. Make sure to wear a MySkins seamless bra and seamless panties underneath because panty and bra lines are sure to ruin this style. 



One-shoulder dresses or strapless dresses are the hottest trends this season. The one shoulder dress is dramatic and sophisticated and the strapless dress fits great while being ultra feminine. For both looks try the MySkins convertible bra which can convert to fit the dress you are wearing.


So remember, your bras and panties can ruin the holiday in more ways than one. Try MySkins for a solution that works.

Increasing your Bra Shelf Life

Want your bra to last a long time? Of course your washing regimen is important, but there is way more to it...your habits affect your bra life as well. Here are a few tips to help you increase the shelf life of your bra.

1. Have a bra for every day of the week
Over wearing your bra can cause it to wear out, decreasing it's shelf life. Making sure you have a different bra that you can wear everyday. It can save you money in the long run. Never wear one bra two days in a row, let them rest a little so you won't decrease the elasticity.

2. Use a sensitive soap
If you mush use the washing machine, use the right soap. We like Woolite too, but Woolite is for wool. Try some other washing powders if Woolite isn't working for your bras. Other options inlclude Ivory Snow, Dreft, or Forever New for non bleach washing that won't damage elastics. Also, use a bra ball or a mesh laundry bag to keep your bra safe while in the washing machine.

3. Never, ever ever put your bra in the dryer
That's right, NEVER!! Would you put plastic in the oven? Well, bras are make of elastic and other materials that are heat sensitive. Wash in cool water and lay flat to dry...it'll double your bra life.

4. Try MySkins

Want variety and shelf life, try MySkins. Our comfortable bras are perfect for all year long...we match your skintone, so you can get different bras for summer and winter, no matter what color your skin, we stay nude.

Fashion Police Wednesday: Kelly Brook’s Wobbly Mistake

Kelly Brook recently stepped out the door with this year leggings trend.

Unfortunately, Kelly, like many other legging wearers today are not wearing the correct undergarments with this trend.

Wearing leggings is a little tricky because many can be sheer as well as skin tight. However, MySkins is the perfect solution. MySkins seamless underwear are molded so those panty lines will be invisible. However, they also come in 20 skin matching colors which means you can wear a full cut brief and not a thong… for the ultimate support and coverage.

Kelly made the mistake of wearing a black thong with sheer black leggings. This mistake caused her visible panty lines to show as well as the fact that she was missing the major support that’s needed when wearing sheer and skintight leggings!

Bra Horror Monday: Don’t Write Your Name In your Bra

Today’s horror story about bras comes from Kayla over at That’s Embarrasing! She teaches young women everywhere that writing your name in your bra is definitely a BAD idea!

“Well on Dec. 21 our school went swimming. So as always my friends and I go into the bathroom to change into our bathing suits to avoid the rush of pool locker rooms. I ran out of the bathroom QUICKLY because there were other people waiting in line. Then I realized I forgot my bra in the bathroom.... oops! The embarrassing part of it is that I saw a couple of grade eighters fooling around the lost and found table, to my surprise they are playing with my bra.... I walk over and Shelby says "Kayla, you lost your bra!" and I remember that I wrote my name in it when I went to Camp!

The Moral of this story is - Do NOT write your name in you bra!!”

Fashion Police Wednesday: Celebrity Bra Strap Walk Of Shame

This Fashion Police Wednesday is focused on the number one celebrity Faux Paux: The Celebrity With The Showing Bra Strap. The bra strap walk of fame will surely get you in someone's fashion police article and once we started doing more research, we realized that even the most and least glamorous stars have went down the shameful path of showing their bra straps:

Kylie Minogue and Pink

Amy Winehouse

Coleen McLoughlin and Sharon Stone

Where do we start??

Kylie: Okay, not only is your bra strap showing but you chose to wear a leopard one.. could you be anymore discreet?
Pink: No, No, No, No!!! You don't incorporate your bra into your outfit unless you are on stage performing... period!
Amy: Double straps...and two colors??
Coleen: Because you have a white tank top on, doesn't mean a white bra is okay.
Sharon: Yes, your bra matches some of the colors in your dress...still doesn't make it okay.

The solution? MySkins' seamless and skin-tone matching bras. We provide them in 20 different colors, matching 95% of the population's skin tone. So no matter if you are Keisha Knight Pulliam or Scarlet Johansson...we have a match for you! Request your color card today.

The MySkins Solution

Many times when women are shopping for bras, they don't understand exactly what to look for, or what to ask the salesperson for. At MySkins we spent so much time in product development and research, we learned some amazing things... we'd like to call ourselves the "bra experts"!

When looking for a comfortable bra that closely matches your skin tone there are a few things you should be looking for:

The Problem? Visible Bra Lines or VBL
Visible bra lines can become a nightmare. Even if you find that perfect skin matching tone, if the bra is sewn and you are wearing a t-shirt or a thin shirt, there is a possibility that you'll have to deal with bulging seams.

The MySkin Solution? Seamless Bras
Our bras are molded, not sewn so you don't have to worry about seams or VBL.

The Problem? Color Transfer
when shopping for a nude bra, you may notice the lack of colors. However, even when you "think" you've got a close match, look closely because color and dimensional transfer can occur. With color transfer, you'll end up on our fashion police blog! What happens is that if you wear underwear not closely matched to your skin with light colored clothing, you will be able to see your underwear through it.

The MySkins Solution? Skin tone matching underwear
Our bras come in 20 different skin matching colors that match 95% of the populations skin tone... so color transfer is definitely not a problem.

Request a color card today and try us out... we are sure you'll be satisfied with the results.

Bra Horror Stories

One of our favorite forums to visit is The Exchange, especially their Fitness and Health section. One thread asked Exchange members about Bra Horror Stories and we thought that we would share two of the stories we thought were funny on our blog:

"Did you know a Wonderbra underwire can bring a washing machine to its knees? I do now. Make sure your underwires aren't trying to make a break for it before you wash the bra, otherwise, you're gonna spend your weekend shopping for major appliances."

"My wife worked years ago when going to college in Lancaster in the Bra department of Watt and Shand and I remember her telling me about a young girl that was coming in shopping for what was likely as it turned out her first bra. My wife asked her if she knew what cup size she was and threw out the normal A, B, etc and the girl came back answering "I think it is an A minus". We still get a chuckle out of it."

At Myskins, our seamless bras keep the horror stories for the magazines and online...not in your real life! But, if you do you have a bra horror story that you'd like to share with us? Spill the beans and we'll share it on our blog. Anonymously….of course.

The White Pant Suit Is Back

Jenny McCartney made our jaws drop on Friday at the Women in Film Crystal and Lucy Awards. Her white pantsuit was to die for... we love to see women wearing a hot trend in a classy manner with the correct undergarments.

Seeing her looking great in all white; we decided to do some research online and see exactly how popular the white pantsuit is this season:

Yeap, the white pantsuit is back which means a possiblity for some visible panty lines, visible bra lines, and muffin tops. Luckily there's MySkins.com where our 20 skin matching seamless bras and seamless panties match 95% of the population's skin tone.... so you don't have to worry about those embarassing lines again and our seamless technology and comfort allows you to say good bye to muffin tops and bulges.

Shopping Online For Seamless Bras and Panties

Shopping online for bras and panties can be an intimidating experience, especially when you are used to going in a store and getting fitted. At MySkins, we know how women feel about their bras and panties which is why we have developed a unique system to ensure that you feel comfortable shopping for your bras and panties online.

The first step in finding perfect skin matching bra and panties from MySkins is to use our color card. If you have a quality color printer available, print a color chart from our website. However, we strongly suggest requesting a color card to be mailed to you so you can really get an accurate understanding of your skin matching color.

With the MySkins Color Card in hand, match your skin to the color on the card that best matches you. The best locations to color match for your bra would be the front of your shoulder, or the center of your chest. However, don't match using your arm, we recommend using your upper thigh or hip area. Remember, good natural light is your best source for lighting.

After you match your skin tone the next step is to find the perfect fit by following our bra sizing guide. If you already know your correct size, browse our selection and order any style in your matching color.

It's that easy! What are you waiting for, get your skin tone lingerie today and stop allowing visible bra lines and visible panty lines to ruin your outfits.

Wearing The Right Bra 101

Like panties, as we discussed Tuesday, when looking for a bra to wear under different tops and dresses there are different styles and different purposes for each bra. This guide will take you through choosing the right bra and what tops to wear them with.

Under Your Favorite White T-Shirt


T-Shirt Bra: The t-shirt bra is best for everyday wear and comfort because it disappears under your clothing and prevents nipple show-through. However, the best advantage of a t-shirt bra is that it is made without a raised seam so it can appear invisible when worn under a body fitting t-shirt. The MySkins t-shirt bra is perfect for those who long for an amazing bra to wear under a fitted shirt without the risk of visible bra lines, lumpiness or discomfort.

Under Your Favorite Summer Blouse




Convertible Bra: A convertible bra offers a number of possibilities. Hence the name, the straps on our convertible bra can be arranged in five different styles traditional, one-shoulder, criss-cross, halter, and strapless. The MySkins convertible bra is an excellent choice for women who want variety under a number of styles. Perfect for Grecian one shoulder dresses, halter-tops, tube dresses and more.

Under Your Favorite Sexy Summer Dress

Plunge Bra: A plunge bra is the perfect support for daring outfits. The cups are cut to give you some support, great coverage and maximum exposure. The MySkins plunge bra is amazing for women who want to wear low cut shirts or gowns without the risk of a visible bra or the discomfort of tape.

A Bad Fitting Bra vs A Good Fitting Bra

We've all seen it. Someone wearing a fitted t-shirt with a bra on that they thought fit well. In actuality, the bra created the "six boobs" affect where the breast are squeezed between the arm and the strap and the breast themselves are basically cut in 1/2… creating six boobs! Wearing a good fitting bra can really have a tremendous affect on your life including your self esteem. A good fitting bra can increase your posture and make you look fabulous in your clothes.
So what is the benefit of getting rid of that bra that you just can't let go and a bra that actually fits you body well? Did you know a bad fitting bra can:

• Add a shapeless and unattractive look to your posture
• Cause scarring underneath and on the sides of your breast over time
• Cause back pain and neck pain from inadequate support
• Attribute to posture problems and constant slouching

On the other hand, a good fitting bra can:

• Change the silhouette and curves of a woman’s body
• Make you look slimmer while reshaping
• Allow your clothes to fit and look better on your body
• Give you a smaller waistline
• Give you a boost of confidence

The benefits are endless. Check out MySkins.com and try a seamless bra in a skin matching color so you can look and feel great this summer!

Fashion Police Wednesday: Gwyneth Paltrow’s French No No

We pulled this Fashion Police image from the archives. Gwyneth Paltrow pulled this off last year around November. At first we had to take a second look because we couldn't believe we caught an A list celebrity with VPL (visible panty lines) and VBL (visible bra lines).


Showing through her French basque themed dress, Gwyneth took her trip to Paris a little too seriously…and I'm sure the French women didn't agree! If you look through the black lace on her dress you can clearly see a white bra and a pair of white panties.

The look was supposed to be a take on a French maid outfit for her movie Two Lovers. We though the dress was actually cute but we think she may have went a little too far with the see through lace... and unfortunately, she did it on purpose!

Okay Gwyneth! Our suggestions:

1. Get rid of the see through lace! No matter how cute you think it is its only appropriate on stage or in the bedroom.

2. Get a seamless bra and seamless panty that matches your skintone; and not the regular "pink" color that everyone sells to Caucasian women. We suggest MySkins number 02 aka Latte.

Gwyneth, request your color card today and we will send you a great bra and panty to help you stay on the best dressed list.

Carson Kressley Is a Walnut...Seriously!

This year at the Arizona Women's Expo MySkins picked up a fan, Carson Kressley. After checking out MySkins' products and labeling our nude tone underwear "yum skins" we were pleasantly surprised when he signed our Color Card, "I'm A Walnut"!

If you don't know Carson Kressley, here's a quick bio. Carson was born and raised in Pennsylvania and was a true horse rider. He competed since an early age and was a part of the US World Cup Saddle Seat Equitation Team.

However, this fashion guru is known for his attitude and passion for all things fashion. From 1994 to 2002, Carson worked for Ralph Lauren in menswear and advertising. Then, in 2003, the Carson we know and love came to be when his show, Queer Eye, debuted on Bravo cable television network. Since then he's been featured on The Today Show, E!, Miss Universe, Miss USA and much more.

In 2007, Carson proved that he was a force to be reckoned with when in February he was announced the host of Lifetime's makeover show, How to Look Good Naked. The series premiered on January 4, 2008 and drew 1.6 million viewers. The big thing was that Carson was able to reach that coveted marketing group, 18-49 and 18-34.

We love you Carson, thanks for supporting MySkins, and we think you are a Walnut too...

How To Really Take Care of Your Bras

Taking care of your bras is something that many women have problems doing. We've seen just about every which way possible. Here are a few things that are just not okay!

1. Washing and drying bras in the washing machine and dryer
2. Using powdered detergents to wash your bras
3. Hanging your bras to dry

At MySkins, we know bra and panties and after extensive research we've developed a strategy that makes sure your bras last for year.

First, before you wash make sure you fasten all hooks! This is important for your bra and any other garments you may have. Bra hooks have a tendency to snag other garments and get hooked on holes in the washer and dryer.

Second, Use a lingerie bag or a bra washing bowel so that your bra will keep its shape. Bra washing bowels are awesome! They keep your bras in a little bowl throughout the wash.

Third, always wash on the delicate cycle. The delicate cycle is gentle enough not to damage.

Lastly, and this important, reshape and lay flat on a towel to dry. This also keeps the shape of the bra. Hanging a bra to dry stretches the fabric.

And that’s how you take care of your MySkins seamless bra! For more information and tips visit our Bra and Panty Care Guide.
