Full Figured Mannequins Hits Sweden..Why Not In The USA!?

2013-03-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

Do you think the standard size for mannequins needs to be overhauled? We all know that Lane Bryant and other "plus size" department stores have them, realistic size mannequins. But with American women being an average (American size) 10/12 I would think the current size 4 mannequins in shops is a bit unrealistic. We are not saying the average size of 10/12 is "plus size", but in the fashion industry, it is. Very sad indeed. No wonder American woman have issues with their weight when all they see are size 4 mannequins in stores.

So, back to the story...a picture of REALISTIC looking mannequins went viral recently, and these mannequins are in Sweden. Well, we think this is pretty awesome indeed. Swedish department store Ahlens has been the subject of some debate recently ever since this photo of two of their mannequins went viral, and for once, it isn't because the mannequins had pencil thin legs, protruding rib cages or were construed to promote eating disorders. Heck no, these plastic beauties stood out because unlike most we see in stores here in America in the malls and shops, they represent what REAL women of average size! And while we don't think that thinner mannequins should be replaced altogether because the size 0 women are still REAL women, after all, a little variety would be reallllllllly refreshing in the retail world. Plus, it might go a long way towards convincing women who feel alienated by the stick thin figures in the windows that the merchandise can look good on them too! Or..to put it in the language of retail executive....CHACHING $$$.

"Plus size" mannequin next to a size 4 mannequin

Peekay Inc, a specialty store selling lingerie, romantic and sensual products truly appreciate the "curvy" "plus size" woman. Their "plus size" mannequin is not only holding her own standing next to a size 4 mannequin, but is under a sign that says "sexy sweet". Most retailers act as if curvy and sexy are mutually exclusive. Ever see a plus size mannequin in a Victoria Secret store?

I am not at all politically correct, we are "it is what it is" kind of gal. However, if executives, merchants, even online sellers like myself want to speak to realistic sized women, we better get with it and start showing realistic sized mannequins. Personally speaking, from me, myself, and I, being once a fat chick, now a skinny chick, I prefer the thinner mannequins, because they represent "me". When I was a fat chick, I liked seeing the "fuller" mannequins in the fat girl shops like Lane Bryant. Now, don't go hating on me because I call them fat girl shops. When I was a fat girl, I referred to them as that. Remember, it is what it is.

I am appalled at this obese mannequin. I really think it is showing it's "ok" to be obese, and it's not.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Your comments are really appreciated. We want to hear from you! Do you think the current mannequin sizes should stay or go, or a variety!? Leave a comment here

Let's admit it. This one, we've come along way. And...why are you thinking I am writing about something so Godly unsexy? Well, I stumbled across this....

and it brought back a wave of junior high school terrors for me. available (why would anyone want it is beyond me, but there are collectors of this stuff out there!) My first experience..ahem...was in "junior high", better known today as middle school. Let's just put it this way, it was so humiliating, I won't even write about it here. Let's just keep it to the imagination, and go from there.
To keep you amused, here are some fun and not so fun pictures of well, you get the picture.

Vintage Lingerie 1940's Van Raalte Step In Pink Slip

2013-01-31T12:40:00.004-08:00

We have been struggling. Every time we want to reopen the grandeur business of selling our vintage lingerie collection (of over 500 pieces), something comes up. Lately it's my health. After suffering a near fatal accident in 2010, and nearly losing my beloved husband, I suffered greatly with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Which then lead to being diagnosed with a mirage of other health issues, including fibromyalgia and advanced osteoarthritis, mainly in my neck. So, needless to say, my days of feeling good are far and few in between.

So, with saying that....I have decided finally to start slowly, get back into promoting my lingerie collection here on our blog, and slowly offer all our lovely gems for sale here on eBay.

http://stores.ebay.com/SweetCherry-Vintage-Lingerie

With that...I would like to present my first piece, a rare 1940's rayon Van Raalte slip chemise *Step In* ..with original tags, in a rare size 38.

Lucie Ann Claire Sandra Collection Vintage Lingerie Couture

2012-05-24T11:02:00.002-07:00

Claire Sandra by Lucie Ann Beverly Hills, California. Showing off some gorgeous pieces currently in my collection and some I have sold in the past. Drool all you want. This is the reason I sell these fabulous pieces. Eye candy to the ultimate sweetness.

Lucie Ann Claire Sandra, Lucie Ann, Lucie Ann Nightgowns, Lucie Ann Onderwyzer, vintage lucie ann,

Lucie Ann Vintage Nightgowns are among the most glamorous and desirable vintage nightgowns. Lucie Ann Lingerie was founded by Lucie Onderwyzer in 1949 she was from Belgium originally. Located at her own fashion house/plant at One Lucie Ann Lane, Beverly Hills, CA, her glamorous nightgowns and lingerie were worn by Hollywood’s glamorous stars such as Gloria Swanson, Barbara Stanwick, Eva Gabor, Elizabeth Montgomery, and most recent featured on Mad Men. Even a little naughty, she helped out with costume design in the Happy Hooker. She designed all of the peignoir sets worn by Eva Gabor on the 1960′s series Green Acres.

Lucie Ann designs are known for bold color and glamorous details, such a marabou trim, pompoms and rhinestones. They were sold at the upscale and exclusive Beverly Hills boutique, Claire Sandra of Beverly Hills (#1 Lucie Ann Lane, Beverly Hills).

After Lucie Onderwyzer passed away in 1988 (at the age of 75), Lucie Ann Lingerie was sold to Deena Lingerie Company. Deena Lingerie began producing the “Lucie Ann II” line in 1990. In 1996, Deena Lingerie, along with the Lucie Ann line was sold to Lady Ester Lingerie Company. Lady Ester is still manufacturing lingerie, including the Lucie Ann line, along with other well known names such as Val Mode, Perfectform and Wondermaid. Lucie Ann II Fashion sleepwear, leisure and loungewear is sold today in major chain stores, department and specialty stores..

Lucie Ann once quoted “We make them for men, but allow women to wear them.
