A post from “La Grande Dame” herself, Michelle Wood!

My goal with La Grande Dame is to bring you beautiful, trendy, figure flattering styles that are actually made for our plus sized bodies.  And, not to toot my own horn or anything, but, I think we do a pretty good job of it.  The hard part now is figuring out what to wear under things.

I am exceptionally curvy and my 40Fs occasionally need a little “reining in”, especially under low cut tops and dresses.  I love to wear beautiful camis to provide just a little bit of extra coverage in the cleavage region, plus, they give me a nice smooth body line under my clothes.  Unfotunately, it is really hard to find these basics – I am forever seeking out camisoles, plain t-shirts and the ever elusive bra that is sexy, comfortable and supportive.

I spent all evening yesterday searching for pretty camis to wear under my dresses.  Have any of you had success in that area?  My Ideal camisole would have lace at the bust, be extra long so it doesn’t roll up on my tummy and it would come in a multitude of colors, not just the basic black, white and nude.

I did find one on J.Jill’s website:
