Over a century old, Aubade lingerie began with corsets and in the 50’s and 60’s propelled lingerie into the world of seduction.

Totally sexy, totally comfortable, and a little funky to bring out that Free spirit in us.

Lingerie Lady: Carole Hochman

GigisCloset.com carries Betsey Johnson Intimates and OnGossamer. Both on these lines are managed by Carole Hochman Design Group. I found this article about Carole Hochman in the March/April '08 issue of Pink Magazine. It is great to see pioneering women in the lingerie industry get credit. I thought it was interesting, so I decided to share. Article from Pink Magazine written by Kathryn Whitbourne.

In 1969, carole Hochman and 11 other fashion design students started internships at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. "Everyone else got jobs in glamorous departments like evening gowns," Hochman recalls with a laugh, "while I got stuck in lingerie. I shed tears!"

That disappointment turned into her biggest opportunity. It started her on a course of designing lingerie under her own label and under license fir companies like Betsey Johnson, Ralph Lauren, Jockey and Oscar de la Renta. Today, as owner and creative director of Carole Hochman Design Group, she and her 180 employees ring up annual revenue of $160 million.

In the '60s, nightwear was billowy and demure. By the 1980s it had transitioned to silky and sexy. Yet Hochman was an untapped niche waiting to be filled. "I grew up wearing pajamas," she says. "I enjoyed designing the silky stuff, but that wasn't what I wore to bed. So I designed an all-cotton line. No one had done anything like that before." After Macy's placed an order for $250,000 in 1990, the new idea became a trend. "Now everyone does it," she says. Hochman attributes her company's success to being diversified. She is expanding the underwear section of her business, but she also notes that lingerie has morphed into lifestyle dressing. "Now, many women work at home and need clothes for that, or things to put on when they get home from the office," she says. "We address all these needs.

"Life is short. Wear pretty underwear.

Tip of the Day: DD and DDD Cups Are Also Labeled E and F Cups

You've measured, you've calculated and tried on several bras and you now know your correct bra size. Congratulations! While most American brands cup size ranges go A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, and so on, it is SOOOO important to note that many other brands have their own size ranges.
For example, Elle MacPherson Intimates bras range as follows: A, B, C, D, DD, E. So if you are a DDD cup you would buy an E cup in this brand. Most French brands like Aubade and Lejaby run A, B, C, D, E, F, G. So a DDD cup would be an F cup in their bras. DD cups would be an E cup.
So, here's a 'Good to Know' tip: if you are a DD or a DDD cup, also search for E and F cups. This will give you a more comprehensive search for bras that we offer in your size. You can always check our size chart that offers the size ranges for each brand to make sure you are purchasing the right sizes.

Frou Frou For Your Valentine

Valentines Day is coming up and while we may all celebrate this Hallmark holiday(as they say) a little differently than the next person, I think we all have room for a little love.
Despite all the naysayers who try to quash any lasting romance that may remain, Its hard to criticize a holiday that celebrates love. Haters aside, we all can benefit from taking some time to show our love and affection to those around us.

At Gigis Closet we like to celebrate with a little lingerie!

By far, one of the frilliest bits of lingerie we've had in recent times, Eberjey's Frou Frou Collection, comprising of Chemise, Camisole and Knickers, is undeniably cute and feminine without going overboard. So simple, so gorgeous, beautiful gauzy lace mesh is ruffled and gathered over a silky opaque knit. Elastic gathering at the neckline and bust line creates the soft flowing look, topped off with Mocha colored edge stitching on the ruffled edges.

New! Underpinnings from Goddess

We love Goddess for providing our foundation needs with reasonable prices and wide size ranges, from strapless bras to formal merrywidows.

For example, the Smooth Merrywidow comes in C, D, DD, DDD. While the Bridal Lace Bustier and Bridal Strapless Bra come in D,DD,F,FF. This is important to note, if you buy DDD cup, realize that this size may be labeled differently even from the same company!
Goddess Smooth MerryWidow is restocked and ready to ship! This smooth longline bustier with removeable garters provide great shape and support under your formal wear.
New underpinnings from Goddess have just arrived!
