Demure or dangerously hot?

Another example of how a high neck can suggest demure while the rest of the outfit is just plain suggestive. Hosiery isn't just pantyhose and this hosiery dress is a best seller for the simple fact that it is sexy and affordable. Available in Black, White or Red. One size fits most 90-160 lbs and this works because the fabric is stretchy and forgiving. For only $18.95 and free shipping, too...maybe this is what the man in your life wants for Father's Day?

I'm back!

I can't blame my lack of blogging completely on being too busy. Like anyone else, I have time to read (Game of Thrones for the 2nd time!) and watch TV, travel and exercise, etc. But blogging is work and I've let my blog sink to the very bottom of the to-do list. I'm going to make this more of a priority now and my goal is to work my way through our Best Sellers in hopes you see something you love but didn't know existed until now.

Our number 1 best seller is Forever New fabric care wash, specifically the 32 ounce powder. The manufacturer says it best: Forever New Fabric Care Wash is a pure, organic and biodegradable fabric wash formulated to gently clean, brighten and promote longer life in all fine washables. It safely cleans lingerie, hosiery, swimwear, silks, woolens and other colorfast delicates.  A natural base of citrus and a multiple sodas, cleans then rinses completely from the fabric leaving no soap residues to damage thread fibers. Forever New preserves fiber-flex and elasticity, allowing all fine garments to look new longer.

Oh Cheri! offers Forever New with free shipping, add in our quantity discount and there's no need to buy any other laundry soap for your fine washables.

Valentine's Day gift ideas for the lady in your life

Lingerie is a popular gift for Valentine's Day, and why not?  Give the one you love something lovely!  Here's some tips on choosing the right gift for that special person.

Choose a style that reflects her personality, if she's conservative or self conscious she may not want to bare it all in ultra-revealing styles.  An elegant robe or classy nightgown would be a perfect gift.   If she's a little wild, consider a daring teddy or a playful bondage themed gift.

Be sure to get the correct size, nothing is worse than opening a gift, pulling out a beautiful negligee and finding the wrong size.  The best way to choose a size and still keep a secret is to check her closet.  Look at dress sizes, blouse sizes and pant sizes, also look in her underwear drawer for bra and panty sizes.   This search will also give you clues as to what colors she prefers.

OhCheri.com offers lingerie and more in sizes Small to 6X and we love to give advice!  Check out our Guys Guide to Lingerie for more helpful tips and contact us with any questions.  Our current promotion is 20% off store wide, use discount code HELP20 at checkout (expires Jan. 1, 2011)

Dare to wear corsets in public, classy ideas for sexy looks

I have a weakness for corsets, they are the ultimate in sexy yet feminine style. Oh Cheri! offers hundreds of styles of corsets and while some are intended to wear in private or as an undergarment, many are designed for wearing on the street. Lingerie as outerwear is the hot fashion right now, here are some ideas to get you started.

The Timeless steel boned underbust corsets are the perfect accessory for your favorite dress or blouse. Picture a simple black shirtwaist dress...boring! But add a bright silk underbust corset and you make a fashion statement that turns heads.

Shirley of Hollywood has several new styles of silky, sheer and dressy blouses that are terrific on their own, but worn under a corset they look even more provocative. If you love the look of a corset but don't like baring your arms, a blouse gives you the coverage you crave while wearing the sexy corset of your dreams. A shrug is another way to provide a little coverage and can be easily removed when appropriate.

Corsets are also a fun base for costumes. More than ever, Halloween has become an adult holiday and who wants to show up at a party wearing the same costume as someone else? Using a corset as a starting point you can design a unique costume for Halloween, cosplay, Mardi Gras or masquerade party.

Determining your size can be tricky but a few basic rules can help.

• Don't use your bra size as a corset size. Picture a woman who is a 36A, then picture a woman who is a 36DDD...these are very differently shaped ladies and you can see why a size 36 corset would not fit both of them.
  
• Using a cloth tape measure and wearing a bra, measure around the fullest part of your bust. This measurement in inches is your corset size. If you measure 36", buy a size 36. If you measure an odd number, like 35", buy the smaller size (size 34).
• This method works well if you have an "average" build. If your waist is significantly smaller than your bust you may need to go down a size...no one wants a loose corset.

You may also find that different manufacturers run large or small or even certain styles are cut big or little but this is a solid basis for choosing a size. Typically this will allow for a 2" gap in the back so your corset will fit well even if you gain or lose a couple of pounds.

We love to give advice so if all this doesn't help, contact us! OhCheri.com offers corsets in Misses, Plus Size and Extended Plus with free USA ground shipping on every order. New customers use discount code NEW10 for 10% off your first order.

How to introduce lingerie to your life

Have you been wearing a t-shirt as sleepwear since the seventh grade? Maybe even the same t-shirt? You might have a tough time picturing yourself in lingerie but you know it's time to ditch the tomboy look and try something more feminine and adult.

Lingerie is not always skimpy, sheer and risqué, the babydoll in the photo is fun, comfortable and supportive. There are literally hundreds of styles of babydoll nighties, from designer silk to affordable and comfy stretch lace, from demure to dangerous. This is the most forgiving style for most problem areas of your figure. Available in sizes extra small to 6X, there are babydolls for every size, budget and personality.

If you prefer pajamas, check out the cute retro style from Shirley of Hollywood. From their Marilyn Monroe collection, these high waisted pajamas with shoulder pads channel the old Hollywood glamour icons. If you like to keep your legs covered but don't like pajamas, try a long gown.

January is the time when all manufacturers send out catalogs with their new styles so this is a perfect time to see what's new. Internet shopping offers an enormous selection in addition to choosing your sleepwear in the privacy of your home. Hesitant about shopping online? Be sure to chooses a website that offers contact information and read reviews by other customers.

Wedding lingerie and bridal lingerie, Men, Misses and Plus Size

Preparing for your wedding may be one of the most exciting events of your life. The bride-to-be has so many decisions to make and may forget the very important lingerie choice.

The foundation of a perfect wedding dress is what you wear under it. No one wants to be lumpy under their gorgeous wedding gown, this is your Cinderella moment and it needs to be flawless. A corset can create a smaller waist and push up the breasts for sexy cleavage. It also eliminates bra lines and will make your new husband's eyes light up when you take off the wedding dress. White or ivory is the most popular choice but if your dress is very opaque or dark you can feel free to choose a black corset or bustier in your favorite color.

Stockings are another import wedding day accessory. Thigh highs with a secret pocket are perfect for carrying a good luck charm or that little something blue. Sexy bridal stockings with wedding bells or other pretty print are also popular. Add a sexy garter belt and avoid pantyhose and falling down thigh highs.

Then you have the wedding night. Do you picture yourself floating into his arms in a long, diaphanous gown with matching robe? A bridal peignoir set is the style you want. Or maybe a little innocent babydoll for the girl who doesn't like long gowns. From demure to naughty, Oh Cheri! has a wedding night lingerie style for every body in sizes from extra small to plus size 6X.

The honeymoon is your reward for all the hard work and now it's time to relax and have fun! Surprise him with a racy bedroom costume or the most scandalous little teddy you can find.

Black is the most popular color for lingerie in general and the new trend for wedding night and honeymoon lingerie is red. If you prefer pastels, don't stop at pink. A pale blue or soft lavender is equally pretty on fair skin.

We also offer some sexy styles for men. White satin boxers or underwear styled like a tuxedo are fun for the honeymoon or wedding night. If you're looking for the perfect gift for the groom, try some decadent silk pajamas or a velvet smoking jacket. A silk robe is a thoughtful and extravagant gift idea, and charmeuse is an affordable alternative to silk.

If you need help choosing a style, help with sizing or maybe you want a surprise shipped to your hotel, Oh Cheri! loves to give advice. Our goal is to treat every customer like our only customer, please contact us with any questions. Best wishes!
