Soma Vanishing Strapless Bra: the ultimate lifesaver

Raise your hand if you have tried to wear a top, a dress, or a jumpsuit which featured a fabulous neckline; yet your neckline did one thing which was not fabulous, it did not cover your bra straps. I don’t know how many times I have shied away from wearing something because my bra straps would show. Now, don’t get me started on how 99.9% of strapless bras on the market slide down. Oh the dreaded sliding down of the bra! Eeek!

Then there is the other nightmare that happens with strapless bras; how many times have you purchased a strapless bra, been excited it stays up, only to find it gives you back fat? Oh the horror! There is nothing worse than back fat; especially when you don’t actually have back fat. The strapless bras that stay put, tend to give a person back fat; not a good trade off!

Thankfully my favorite intimates brand has come to the rescue! Soma has invented a strapless bra that not only stays up all day, it does not create back fat! Love! In fact, it is engineered to smooth down your back. So even if you do have back fat, like yours truly (shh-don’t tell anyone!), no-one will ever know! Ha!

Of course, Soma invented this technology years ago, but in 2019, they improved upon it; and perfected it. This is an advanced bra! How do they do it you ask? Well, the seamless edges create a smooth transition from our backs, to the bra. This innovative construction eliminates the back fat effect inferior bras cause. The bra also has improved recovery, and zones, which are designed to smooth down our sides. Love this engineering!

In addition to working hard as the perfect strapless bra, the Soma Vanishing Strapless Bra also has detachable straps, so it is convertible! Love that! There are several notches, strategically placed in the front, and the back, of the bra. This enables you to place the straps where you need them if you have a halter top, one-shoulder top, or any type of interesting neckline. Love this!

I am so excited about the new Soma Vanishing Strapless Bra! It has launched at the perfect time of year. As we head into warmer weather, we will all want to wear thinner straps, off-the-shoulder tops, and perhaps even strapless tops and dresses. It is essential we all have the perfect strapless bra in our undergarment arsenal. This will allow all of us to wear anything we want; without the worry of straps showing, or unnecessary back fat ruining our ensembles. Bring on the fabulous necklines!

Tie dye for spring 2019

Despite the fact that the 1980s and 1990s dominated the spring 2019 runways, there was one huge trend from the late 1960s, and bulk of the 1970s, that sprinkled the runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London; tie-dye. That’s right! Our childhood summer camp activity is currently high fashion. It’s time to grab our Grateful Dead records, dust off our turn-tables, and peace out in tie-dye.

Out of all the spring 2019 fashion trends, tie-dye is the most fun. You can buy white clothing or accessories and host a tie-dye party at your house, where you can create your new spring wardrobe; or you can attend summer camp and make your own designs while enjoying nature! Or, you can be like most of us who will purchase something with a tie dye design from the store. 😉

Tie-dye for spring 2019 is being found on everything you can imagine. Designers didn’t limit the hippie print to tee’s. You can rock your colorful tie-dye, or two-tone tie-dye, on any article of clothing or accessory your heart desires. There are tee’s, skirts, jackets, pants, dresses, jumpsuits, shoes, scarves, handbags; you name it!

For the spring 2019 season, I am eyeing both dresses and skirts with tie-dye prints on them. I already did the tie-dye tee thing in the 1970s and 1980s. This time around, I think it would be fun to rock tie-dye on something unexpected; and to me, anything other than a traditional tee is unexpected.

The tie-dye trend is reminiscent for me. I was a small child in the 1970s and I grew up in Marin County. We had a ton of hippies in Marin, and they turned into aging hippies in the 1980s; which was the decade where I spent the bulk of my childhood. We had hippies everywhere. There were people in tie-dye driving bugs and hippie vans all over the place. While my family was conservative, seeing a hippie trend does take me back to my childhood; which was peaceful and fun. I love a trend that sparks happy memories!
