Introducing Passionata Lingerie

Embrasse-Moi — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:11:56 +0000

Passionata, the flirty new line of lingerie by Chantelle, previously only available in Europe, we are excited to be among the handful of boutiques in the U.S. picked to carry the line!

A little bit about Passionata:
To be a Passionata means to be madly in love each day. Passionata or the art of asserting a woman’s femininity, was born at the end of the 80s when women, after years of wearing sensible lingerie and unisex clothes, wished to reassert their femininity… Passionata made lingerie affordable and wearable on a daily basis by modernizing fabrics and materials.

Passio from the Printemps-été 2010 collection arrived at Embrasse-Moi today, check it out below!

On The Rise

Embrasse-Moi — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:36:42 +0000

When we talk about the “rise” of a panty we are referring to how high a panty comes up on your hips. You can find thongs, bikinis, briefs, boyshorts or pretty much any style of panty in any rise. A quick lesson on the different options you have for panties if you are not familiar with all your choices:

Bikini: with the wild popularity of the bikini swimsuit in the 1960s, this panty has been a staple in most women’s panty drawers for decades. It traditionally provides moderate coverage in the front and back, with high-cut legs.
Tip: look for bikinis with a seam up the center of your derriere to give a rounder bottom shape under clothes.

Brazilian: this is a panty style loved by those who want to elongate their legs or visually slim their thighs. These panties are cut high on the thigh and great if you want a little more coverage everywhere but want to be sexy at the same time.

Tanga: a perfect compromise between a thong and a bikini. A tanga usually has equal amount of material in the front as well as the back, leaving you more exposed in the back.
Tip: If you want to avoid panty lines, but do not want to do a thong then this is the panty for you!
Fun Fact: a tanga originates from the early 20th century and denotes a loincloth worn by indigenous peoples in tropical America.

Thong: you either love them or hate them, but these little scraps of material do their job by eradicating VPLs (visible panty lines). The absence of fanny coverage ensures the absence of panty lines!

G-String: the Tiny Tim of thongs. It is the tiniest thong you can imagine. A small triangle of material is in front, with strings running up your cheek cleavage and across your hips.
Fun Fact: we didn’t think of it first! The G-string originated among the tribal people from thousands of years ago.
