Many years ago, when I first penned the moniker “Lingerie is the Poetry in A Woman’s Wardrobe”, I was preparing a presentation in which I intended to prove that femininity was an expression of a woman’s comfort inside her own skin.

Clearly I find a perfect correlation between the bridal market and the world of Intimate Apparel. It’s not just about the lace, or the ribbons, beading, buttons and more that change a simple garment into a work of art.
