My Mom, My Role Model, My Leading Lady

Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.  Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.  –Kate Douglas Wiggin

Each mom is one-of-a-kind, a one-and-only match for her children.  Mother’s Day is such a special time to reflect on all the wonderful ways our mother’s have influenced our lives.  From infancy to where you stand today, your mom has surely shaped who you are as a woman.  She has taught you many valuable lessons.  Some you can pinpoint like how to write your name, bake oatmeal cookies or drive a car.  Others are morals and values that are part of your character and inform your everyday decisions.

Moms have held our hands through so many times in our lives, making us feel special and important no matter what else was happening in their own lives.  Perhaps your mom took you to your first musical that inspired your love for song.  She may be the one who encouraged your sense of adventure and love for nature by spending time exploring outdoors.  Maybe she took you on shopping sprees and you owe your keen sense of fashion to mom.  She probably took you to your first bra fitting too, stressing the importance of a great bra for every occasion!

Leading Lady's Molded Padded Full Figure Underwire BraWe hope this Mother’s Day you will take a moment and think about all the fabulous ways your mom has enriched your life and the role model she has been to you.  If she is close by, tell her with a hug.  If she is far away, tell her on the phone or video conference.  If she is a lasting memory in your heart, tell send her special prayers of love.

Return the gift of support and comfort this Mother’s Day with Leading Lady’s full figure bra sale.  When you buy 3 bras for you or mom, you get 1 FREE through Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Earth Day & Bra Recycling with Leading Lady

It’s Earth Day, Leading Ladies! The perfect day to talk about recycling – you guessed it – your bras. You know, those intimates that have been sitting in your drawer, because they no longer fit. Or worse, those intimates YOU’RE STILL WEARING that no longer fit you.

Leading Lady Find Your FitIf you’ve found the perfect bra, it may be hard to let go, even when she gives you signs that you’re no longer the best friends you once were.  Bras, just like friendship, are about support.  So don’t let your favorite old bra bring you down.

Bras should be replaced every 4-6 months depending on the number of bras you wear in rotation and how you launder them.  If you notice tearing or if the elastic splits, that is a sure sign it is time to replace.  Also replace bras when your size changes due to pregnancy, weight loss or weight gain.

 pastedGraphicBefore you discard your ill-fitting underpinnings, remember that there is likely a lady who would be a perfect fit for your gently used bra.  Our partners at The Bra Recyclers collect gently used and new bras, and provide them to women and girls in transition. By recycling your bra, you’re not only helping to “support” women in need, but you’re also reducing the amount of unnecessary waste.

Join us in celebrating Earth Day the best way we know how, from the intimates – out.  After you’ve recycled your gently used bras, shop our sale! Save 15% + get free shipping on all orders from April 21-26.

Thanks for helping us to improve the earth, one bra at a time!

Leading Lady’s Spring Fashion Series: Bermuda Shorts and Short Suits

Dresses and high heels are not practical for everyone’s day-to-day life and this spring brings a seasonably wearable trend: Bermuda shorts and short suits.

Leading Lady's Spring Fashion Series: Bermuda Shorts and Short SuitsAdding length to your shorts elongates the leg and makes wearing shorts an age-appropriate fashion statement.  Dress your Bermudas up with a collared shirt and blazer, or down with a colorful tank or tee.

If you have trouble deciding what to wear in the mornings, or what we like to call “fashion vacillation,” a short suit may be your answer.  Avoid trying on 7 tops to complete your shorts ensemble and simply grab the matching jacket.  On the days you’re feeling a bit more decisive, you can break up the pair and create separate outfits.

Leading Lady Molded Padded Seamless Full Figure BraComplete your spring 2013 style with comfortable, supportive and fashionable bras.  Check out Leading Lady’s spring hues, including our blue mist molded padded seamless full figure bra, which offers shapely coverage under suit jackets and blouses, and our pastel pink front closure racer back leisure bra, a perfect choice for those hard-to-pair racer back spring tops.

Today through April 9 we are welcoming spring in style with a 25% discount on all Leading Lady Full Figure t-shirt bras.  Keep your bra wardrobe on trend and in-season with this amazing sale.

Don’t panic if you’re not the type of gal to change your whole wardrobe for trends that will go as fast as they come. A lot of your winter clothes can be used to seamlessly transition into spring, while incorporating some fun new looks for the season.

Leading Lady Scalloped Lace Full Figure BraOne of our favorite trends, high waisted shorts and pants, will be everywhere this spring.

This look will certainly show off your curves.  Go all the way and embrace this sexy vibe by wearing the Scalloped Lace Underwire Full Figure Bra underneath. For a fun twist, tie the bottom portion of your button down top where your shorts meet your shirt. It will give the illusion of a crop top, while not actually showing any skin!
