Retro Makes A Comeback

It would seem that retro swimwear has made it's comeback! These timeless swimsuits make us want to dress. Besides, who wouldn't want to play pin-up girl? 

For those of us with feminine curves, retro style swimsuits offer the perfect praise. Support is key to the framework of retro swimwear. We would never see Ms. Monroe's goods being held up with a mere string, but rather a structured fabric, under-wired and firm in fit.

So for all our curvalicious ladies, here are some classic looks (modelled by the one and only) that help you to hide the mid-drift while still showing off that hourglass shape...

Come see us at Brabary and let us help you uncover your inner pin-up!

Boudoir Photography: Why Should Models Have All The Fun?

Boudoir –  a lady's private bedroom, sitting room or dressing room. The term derives from the French verb bouder, meaning "to be sulky" or boudeur, meaning "sulky".

In comparison, Boudoir photography is a collection of intimate photos capturing the subject in very little clothing with a tasteful yet sexy manner. Boudoir photography is the latest craze in women's portraits today, however this can be a rather expensive investment and Brabary wants to make sure you're prepared!

Choosing The Photographer

When you're baring it all nerves can be hard to battle, therefore, this should be someone you feel comfortable with. Meet with your photographer prior to the session. Look over their past work and don't be afraid to ask questions and run through the process. A good photographer will know how to position you and will use lighting to your advantage. Imperfections like scars, cellulite and blemishes can be easily erased in post-production, but be sure to voice concerns so they know the standard you expect. Your confidence will show in your photos so it's important you feel it!

Choosing The Intimates

Because you're not wearing much what you are wearing should be beautiful and make a statement! Don't feel obligated to lock down on one outfit. Bring a few things to change up the look and get more bang for your buck! Here is a few examples of "barely-there" outfits:

• Bra/Panty Sets
• Lingerie/Silk Nighty/Slips
• Corsets
• Thigh-high stockings
• Heels
• Jewlery (for that extra sparkle)

Get a little more fun...
Wear your man’s favourite jersey, t-shirt, button-down or neck tie! What about your go-to jeans with your favourite bra? Show off the real you, after all that's what this is all about! 

The Primp and Prime

The details make all the difference! Head over to your local spa and get a fresh mani-pedi and maybe even a wax. If you're out in the sun try to avoid getting tan lines and if you already have some consider a spray tan to blend the contrasting skin tones.

Now relax and have some fun! Why should models have all the fun? Boudoir photography should be a gift for yourself. So strut your stuff and uncover your inner goddess (and if you need a helping hand come see us at Brabary!)
