Curve Expo Highlights F/W '16

Curve Expo Highlights for Fall/Winter 2016

We've just come back from New York Lingerie Market Week and wanted to share some exciting finds with you! Did you know that we order most of our product offerings 8 months in advance?  That way manufacturers can estimate how much of a product to cut to avoid over production. You might be surprised by the fact that you may be one of only a few people in the D.C. area to have some of the pieces in your lingerie drawer- especially if it comes from a brand you can't buy in department stores!
See, you're even more unique than you thought!

---BRAND NEW TO BELLE MODE---

KissKill Lingerie
After recieving such a great response to Marlies Dekkers, we thought we'd look out for some more brands along those lines. For those of you who are drawn to this style of lingerie, KissKill has a great size range compared to other brands of similar aesthetic!



Passionata, by Chantelle
While you may not need extra volume, sometimes a girl just wants nice, full cleavage for under those date night outfits.  We've been on the hunt for a not-too heavily padded bra for while now and are thinking of bringing in a few styles from Passionata.
Let us know your thoughts!


Marlies Dekkers
We have fallen in love with Marlies Dekkers for fun designs that you can hide when you want to and show off when the mood strikes you.  We're considering this piece from their fashion collection for Fall/Winter 2016.


--FASHION FROM OUR CURRENT DESIGNERS--

Elomi is bringing sexy back!
The designers at Elomi are really stepping things up this Fall.  They have finally listened and are introducing more fashion styles & colors in the cuts you love.  


Fantasie

We killed it this past season with Fantasie's padded half cup bra, bringing E (DDD)-G(DDDDDD) cups a cut they've never had before- a demi! Here's a sneak peek at the detail on their half cups for Fall/Winter '16.



And gorgeous new fashion colors perfect to heat things up a little in those colder, winter months.


Chantelle
These beauties from Chantelle caught our eye- embroidered lace over sheer mesh for a sophisticated, yet sexy look.


If you're a fan of the Rive Gauche Demi, it's getting a makeover, let us know if you need it! 


Clo Intimo
 The queen of color does it again with a gorgeous ombre dyed negligee.  Oh la la!


One of our best selling chemises will resume production in the XL size for Belle Mode.  That size was discontiued a while back, but we were persistent in requesting its return. Thanks for listening, Clo Intimo<3



PJ Salvage
Cute & cozy, as always!


Panache
D-K cup, Panache continues to do what they do best.  Case in point with their beautiful color ways in our fave!

 

Natori
For you Natori Feathers fanatics, there are some must have colors coming your way!
And the fringe trend wears right into fall!
Check out the gorgeous hem on the robe below.


Calida
Swiss cotton at its finest! Calida colors in our favorite Etude style- great for layering & equally as nice for sleeping in.


Samantha Chang
Beautiful pops of color in some of our favorite styles.


Fleur't
Our #1 selling chemise, Belle Epoque! We're in love with this every day beauty. We may be getting all 4 colors...

Caution: Gorgeous Curves Ahead!


Pop star Meghan Trainor said that it's all about that bass, right?  
Well, what if you have both bass & treble & you're trying to find seductive, comfortable, versatile playwear & sleepwear that fits & flatters?

Tia Lyn's got it. Tia Lyn's got YOU.
Let us reiterate: TIA LYN LINGERIE ... that is all you need to know!
Styles available in sizes S, M, L, 1, 2, & 3.


        

"The Tia Lyn collection reveals the underpinnings of a more sophisticated woman where as you get closer to her inner layer, the layers become just as lovely as she is. Best known for its fashionable plus sizes and great fitting curvy styles. Tia Lyn is a two time winner of the international CILA awards for the Best Plus Size Collection."


This gorgeous two-tone lace bralette supports a fuller bust & can be worn over a bra as a layering piece or under a top or dress with a plunging neckline.  


Don't even get us started on how much we adore the camisole!
Designed to support, this is another piece in the collection that, when worn with a bra under a sweater or blazer is outerwear worthy.  It's long enough that it makes a cute layering piece!


  

The comfortable, high-waist thong has removable garter attachments so that you can transform an every day panty into the perfect sexy piece to wear under that little black dress (seen in teal in the first two photos)



And the modal pajamas!  Soft, soft, soft.
Need we say more?


We were originally only going to bring Tia Lyn's plus sizes to Belle Mode, but her designs were too gorgeous to pass up for our S, M, L customers!




This soft seductive mesh pair (that is indeed GOOD QUALITY) is super flattering & still sends the message that Mama Wants To Play!
