Lingerie Label

The following are general care tips for cleaning and caring for fabrics containing natural and man-made fibers used in apparel and home fashions. Always read and follow the care instructions and any warning on the garment/fabric label.

ACETATE

Most acetate garments should be dry-cleaned. Some knits are washable. If laundering is indicated, use the following guide:

* Hand wash in warm water with mild suds.
* Do not twist or wring out the garment.
* Do not soak colored items.
* Press while damp on the wrong side with a cool iron. if finishing the right side use a pressing cloth.
* Circular knits should be laid flat to dry.

ACRYLIC

Acrylic garments may be washed or dry cleaned.

* When machine washing, use warm water setting and add a fabric softener during the final rinse cycle.
* Machine dry at low temperature. Remove from dyer as soon as garments are dry.
* Wash delicate items by hand in warm water. Static electricity can be reduced by using s fabric softener in every third or fourth washing. Gently squeeze out water, smooth or shake out garment and let dry on a non-rust hangar. Sweaters and circular knits should be dried flat.
* If ironing is required, use moderately warm iron.

COTTON

* Cotton can be easily laundered. It can withstand high temperatures (boiling water does not hurt the fiber).
* Any good detergent can be used to wash cotton.
* Chlorine bleach can be used safely on cotton whites. Use color safe bleach on dyed cottons.
* Since cotton fibers are fairly inelastic cotton fabrics may wrinkle easily. And, fabric may need frequent pressing.
* However, cotton fabric can be treated with a wrinkle resistant finish to create a more resilient fabric/garment. The label will tell you if this finish has been applied.
* A higher heat setting is needed in the dryer to dry cotton. Cotton will take much longer to dry than less absorbent fibers.
* Cotton can be ironed with a hot iron, and does not scorch easily

LINEN

* Some linens are washable, while others are dry clean only. Be sure to check the label.
* Washable household linen, handkerchiefs, and linen apparel can be washed easily and become softer with use.
* White linens should be dried in the sun, if to help them to keep their whiteness.
* Generally speaking, dry cleaning is recommended for drapery linens, upholstery linens and decorative linens.
* Linen fabrics may need frequent pressing, unless treated for crease resistance. (Permanent press and soil release finishes are now being used effectively on 65% linen/35% polyester tablecloths, napkins and placemats.).

 LYOCELL

Lyocell garments may be either machine washable and dryable or drycleanable. Read the label.

* Washable lyocell has the strength and ease of care of other easy-care fabrics.
* Machine wash and dry at low temperature. Remove from dryer as soon as the garment is dry.
* If ironing is required, use a moderately warm iron.

MICROFIBERS

# Acrylic, nylon and polyester microfibers are machine washable, machine dryable or drycleanable
# Follow the instructions for washing fabrics consisting of these individual fibers.

NYLON

Most items made from nylon can be machined washed and tumbled dried at low temperatures.

* Use warm water and add a fabric softener to the final rinse cycle.
* To minimize static electricity use a dyer sheet when machine drying.
* Remove articles from the dyer as soon as the tumbling cycle is completed.
* If ironing is required, use a warm iron.

POLYESTER

Most items made from polyester can be machine washed and dried.

* Use warm water and add a fabric softener to the final rinse cycle.
* Machine dry at low temperature setting and remove articles as soon as the tumbling cycle is complete.
* If ironing is needed, use a moderately warm iron.
* Most items made from polyester can be dry-cleaned.

POLYOLEFIN (OLEFIN)

Most items can be washed or dry-cleaned.

* Most stains can be readily be removed by wiping, using lukewarm water and detergent.
* If fabric is machine washed, it should be line dried or tumbled dried with gentle or no heat.
* Do not iron.

RAYON

Most rayon garments should be dry-cleaned, but some types of fabric and garment construction are such that they can be hand or machine washed. For washable items, use the following as a guide:

* Use mild lukewarm or cool suds. Gently squeeze suds through the fabric and rinse in lukewarm water. Do not wring or twist the article.
* Smooth or shake out the article and place on a non-rust hanger to dry. Rayon sweaters should be laid flat to dry.
* Press the article while damp on the wrong side with the iron at a moderate setting. If finishing on the right side is required, a press cloth should be used.
* Between wearings, rayon articles may be pressed with a cool iron.

SILK

Only pre-washed silk is washable. Read the label!

* Dry cleaning is generally preferred, since laundering detergent and dyes in other clothes may adversely affect silk fabric.
* For washable silk, follow the care instructions carefully.
* For items without linings and without embellishments attached, careful handwashing is permissable, with mild soap and lukewarm water.
* Chlorine bleach should never be used on silk.
* For long-time storage, silk should be sealed against light, air and insects.

SPANDEX

* Hand or machine wash in lukewarm water.
* Do not use chlorine bleach on any fabric containing spandex. Use a color safe bleach only.
* Rinse thoroughly.
* Drip dry. If machine drying, use low temperature setting.
* If ironing is required, iron rapidly and don’t leave the iron in one place too long. Use a low temperature.

WOOL

* Give wool garments a 24-hour rest between wearings. Hang on shaped or padded hangers, leaving lots of space. In general, wool fibers will shed wrinkles and return to their orginal shape
* Empty pockets, remove belts and hang with closures zipped and buttoned.
* Fold knits.
* Brush wool to remove surface soil. Use a damp sponge for knits and finer fabrics.
* Refresh wool garments quickly after wearing or unpacking by hanging them in a steamy bathroom. Moisture from the steam will remove wrinkles.
* If wool gets wet, dry the garment at room temperature away from heat. If there’s a nap, brush with the nap.
* Remove spots and stains promptly.
* Keep moths away by storing wool with fresh cedar blocks.
* Dry clean once a season(or when stained), and especially before storing.
* Always steam when pressing wool. Use the wool setting. Avoid pressing wool totally dry. When possible, press on the reverse side of the fabric. When necessary to press on the right side, use a press cloth to avoid a shine. Lower and lift the iron, don’t slide it back and forth. Prevent imprinting inside detail by placing a piece of brown paper or tissue paper under folds, seams or darts.

In 1946, when Frederick Mellinger started his mail order company for lingerie, it is unlikely he imagined that fifty years later, his company would own over 200 stores operating in the US, together with the mail order business accounting for some 47% of revenues, and distributing as many as fifty million catalogues per annum.

When Frederick Mellinger returned from WWII in 1946, he brought with him the idea of selling a sensuous and sophisticated European style of lingerie to American women. When good girls wore white cotton panties, Frederick caused a hullabaloo with his raunchy black panties, bras, and nightgowns.

With only a limited success in New York, Mellinger moved to Hollywood a year later and renamed his company “Frederick’s of Hollywood”. His sexy lingerie was an instant smash with the Hollywood’s film stars, complementing their glamorous lifestyle and image of the time.

Frederick’s of Hollywood launched a constant stream of new and pioneering products, from the first padded bra in 1947 to the “Rising Star,” the world’s first push-up bra 1948.

During the fifties, Mellinger had the nous to market his lingerie in both men’s and women’s magazines, a strategy which proved very successful.

Many of Mellinger’s achievements were owed to his understanding of women, and the fact that lingerie could make women feel beautiful. This, together with the association he had made with the glamorous Hollywood movies of the time, led fashion-conscious women to seek out his pointed, cone-stitched bras, sold under brand names such as Missiles, in their droves.

Frederick’s of Hollywood had become a trendsetter. In the sixties, the “Cadillac” bra was launched, and soon became the company’s bestseller. Other innovations included the front-hook bra, bras with shoulder pads, padded girdles, and body shapers.

By the seventies, when women were demonstrating and ‘burning their bras’ outside Frederick’s of Hollywood’s store, he had enough media sense to proclaim in public that the “law of gravity will win out.” It was an incredible publicity coup, and sales of his bras soared across the continent.

It was Frederick’s who introduced the thong to American women in 1981. However, a little later, Mellinger had seen the risk in Frederick’s of Hollywood associating itself too unashamedly with explicitly sexual lingerie. Conventional American women wanted good quality lingerie, which was soft and sensual, but certainly not seedy; Nevertheless the thong still became one of fastest selling items around the world, despite this caution.

Mellinger always had an aptitude for picking up and coming celebrities to work with as models. Pamela Anderson Lee for example, appeared in his lingerie catalogues and later landed a role in Baywatch.

In 1989, Frederick has opened the world’s first Lingerie Museum to huge success.

By the nineties, Frederick’s was extremely successful, it continued with its lingerie innovations introducing the Water Bra and the Hollywood Kiss with its “wishbone” construction. Frederick’s had also expanded its range to include dresses, sportswear, swimwear, hosiery, and accessories to name but a few.

Frederick Mellinger retired in 1984, and died in 1990, but the company was positioned to provide the lingerie market with original and innovative lingerie items and continue to satisfy women’s unchanging desire for sensual lingerie.

Established in America in 1901, Gossard was a family business until H. W. Gossard travelled to Britain in 1921 and opened offices in London’s Regent Street. Gossard, an accomplished corsetiere, revolutionised English foundationwear in the 1920s by pioneering front-fastening corsets, an immediate hit which led to a production factory in Leighton Buzzard in 1926, and now the company’s headquarters for its worldwide business.

Throughout the social and fashion changes of the sixties, Gossard produced lingerie which appealed to all ages of women, identifying their diverse desires and launching suitable bras and corsets accordingly. For the younger generation who were demanding better choice in underwear and lingerie, Gossard reacted with inventive designs and patterns and established a vibrant range of lingerie. When, in the 1970s, the bare look became fashionable, Gossard recognized a gap in the market for a bra, which implied nudity, yet gave moderate cover and support. Its highly successful “Glossies” collection incorporated seamless bras and delicate, almost imperceptible briefs.

Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosioput on lingerie made from candy.

Despite Ann Summers is reputed for it’s naughty toys than anything else but they do sometimes come up trumps with sexy and affordable lingerie choices.

The Intrigue collection is a gorgeous set with basic shapes spiced up with lace and a striking midnight blue colour. Something a little more adventurous than the standard black. Secondly the Valentina teal chemise (far right) is a surprising turn of sexiness not overdone, with the classic silk and lace combination turning out yet another winner.

Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher has stripped down to her new underwear/lingerie promotion campaign.

The 42-year-old mother of one is posing for the designers Badgley Mischka, who were the creators of her first ever gown at the Emmy Awards back when she starred in Lois&Clark in 1995.

Mischka said: ‘She was one of our first celebrities.’

‘She’s a beautiful, smart woman, and I think our customer can relate to her.’

 She’s hot with the dressed lingerie.

Bras is consider the most confusing types of lingerie for women because of their variety of choices and getting a right size of bra is very important. Bras falls into two categories - underwire, which is suitable for women with larger breasts because it can support the weight of the larger breasts and no underwire for women that with smaller breasts. There are five basic bra styles that you may encounter while lingerie shopping:

1. Contour underwire - Which is also known as a T-shirt bra. It is seamless and provides support while it doesn’t show through today’s tighter top styles. It also is lightly padded to provide nipple concealment. This is a great everyday bra style.

2. Sports bra - This is a suitable bra to be worn during any sports activities, from a jog around the block to a heavy-duty aerobics class. It not only provides the necessary support for these activities but it also is made of a material that will wick away moisture and it also supports stretch movements.

3. Convertible bra - This versatile bra can be worn as a strapless bra or one with straps that can be adjusted to a variety of positions in order to be hidden no matter what style top is worn. This is one of the more underrated types of lingerie, but it gives the most options in one product. A convertible bra can also be a contour underwire bra or a decorative bra.

4. Push-up bra - Push-up bras offer lift and support women breasts. This bra gives a bit more cleavage, but it’s not just for smaller-breasted women. Larger-breasted women enjoy this style for the look and also for the additional support it provides.

5. Minimizer bra - This is one of the types of lingerie that is great for fuller-figured women who want to minimize their bustline. With the proper style and fit, it can bring the bust in one or two inches.
