Being a history junkie, I like to know where things comes from. I’m always curious about the early days of lingerie, how companies got their start, and how they run today. Recently, I was looking into Jezebel and Felina and came across some interesting facts.

A bra house for many years, Rene of Hollywood made it’s debut as the Jezebel brand in the 1950′s.  In Paris, the deep plunge neckline had became the rage and women needed a bra to fit the style. Rene provided it with the introduction of the Jezebel “front hook, deep plunge” bra which was an instant hit.  Soon after many more styles were added to the collection and “Jezebel Lingerie” was created.

Although for a time in the 80′s and 90′s  they were lost through business dealings, by the beginning of this century they had merged with Felina lingerie and their rebirth began. Felina was a family owned lingerie manufacturer that had been in business for about ten years and was also headquartered in California.

Jezebel and Le Mystere featured in Brides Magazine

Today, Jezebel and Felina are well known brands with enough versatility to be featured in magazines from “American Baby” and “Brides” to “Maxim” and “Cosmopolitan”. Together, they have been around for quite some time which translates into a well designed product.

Personally, I just love the beautiful Isabelle bra by Felina. Its sweet details and dark colors are such a treat!

Of course, you know how I feel about garter belts!  They are my new favorites this spring. Try out this Jezebel Set, you can get the bra and panty for less than $50!

Le Mystere

August 20, 2010

Le Mystere is known for their amazingly comfortable and stylish bras, with an “all about fit” approach. They understand that it’s not all about looking your best; it’s about feeling your best too.  With 40 year in the lingerie business, Michael Rabinowitz has developed revolutionary styles to fit every woman.  Their essentials collection includes every bra you need in your closet, including t-shirt bras, push up bras, bridal lingerie, convertible bras, and panties to go along with them. Their Lace Collection takes their wonderful fit and applies it to beautifully detailed pieces. Le Mystere No. 9 is specifically for women who have had breast augmentation, the perfect fit for the new you, including all of their regular styles. Their full fit collection includes Dream Fit Minimizer bra, for women who would like a smaller bust size without sacrificing comfort and style.

The company is also involved in the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” movement, raising one million dollars between 2004 and 2008. This movement raises awareness in women for their risk of heart disease and stroke.

More on the minimizer bra:

  • Helps reduce bust by at least one cup size.
  • Classy, beautiful design combines function with style.
  • Cups are seamless, molded microfiber material, perfect for wearing under a t-shirt.
  • Sheer mesh at the wings and center front for support.
  • Details include gold adjusting rings and a little bow on the front.
  • The wire is well padded on the sides to prevent it from poking through.

In the July issue of Elle magazine, singer Rihanna shows off her style and femininity in Blush Lingerie

“I wanted pictures that represented strength and fearlessness but still femininity — a strong woman who can be vulnerable,” she says. “Every woman is made up of vulnerability and strength; no matter what race you are, no matter what you’ve been through in your life. Every woman has that strength that is undeniable, but we also have really big hearts. It’s just us.”

She is shown here in a Blush animal print bra and La Perla Briefs.

Blush is a fresh affordable option for the proud fashionista. They strive for dynamic, yet comfortable pieces, and its no surprise they are featured among the stars!
