Hi there. My name is Vanessa Lawrence, personal and corporate stylist for the Style Vibe by Vanessa Jane.
I'm really excited to welcome you to this brand-new blog series. The Journey of a Woman's Life in collaboration with the Everyday Lingerie Co.
I came across Everyday Lingerie Co. last year and was instantly impressed with the powerful message it was sending out in relation to self-love, self-acceptance, and the promotion of everyday women. After connecting with Danielle, the founder of Everyday Lingerie Co. and receiving some of her fantastic product to try, that become an opportunity for us to work together. And of course, I jumped at it.
Now, I'll be honest, I'm traditionally a bonds girl, but I was really curious to try these new high-waisted styles out, particularly because we are seeing so many more garments being made high-waisted. After my first wear, I honestly couldn't have been more blown away by not only how comfortable these undies were, but how stylish, sexy, and supported I felt too.
So fast forward to now and I'm incredibly proud to present this series and provide you with an inside interview from a small group of truly remarkable and resilient women, age 15 to the gorgeous and graceful 70 plus. Together they share their journey with me and in their own words, talk about what it's like to be a woman in 2021. We sincerely hope you enjoy our videos over the coming months, but more importantly, we hope to inspire, connect, and for you to feel permission to embrace your beautiful body every day.
Trying to find the right underwear size can be difficult due to different companies making different sizes. To make things easier we have created a step by step guide to take the guess work out of the equation.
Below we have measuring instructions with images to assist you.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your waist, your lower waist and your hips. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate. If possible stand in front of a mirror when taking your measurements to ensure that the measuring tape is also parallel to the floor and is flat.
Your waist is the natural in indentation above your hips or just below your rib cage (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Your lower waist is approx. 12cm down from your waist. Take your measuring tape and run this down from your waist to 12cm (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around this area firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Now wrap the soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, this is approximately 25cm below your waist (see image). Use the mirror to check that your measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor – write this measurement down.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your Full Bust and your Lower or under bust. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate.
Your Full Bust is the fullest part of your bust (see image). Ensure that the measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor. Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
The Lower or Under bust is measured by wrapping the measuring tape around your rib cage directly under your bust (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
