Having the right undergarments is tantamount to having the right dress, smart suit, perfect coat, and every other combination of outer garment you can think of. No one would build a house without the proper foundation in place. No one would take on the business world and win it without a degree from a stellar college and hopefully a top prep school. And today, we are emphasizing that no woman in the world should be putting on an outfit on top of lousy lingerie. Life is simply too short to wear bad lingerie. We were just singing the praises of Tom Coughlin and his gospel of being prepared and part of this is having the right foundation. All lingerie is NOT created equally and after going to Curve twice a year for the past few years which has educated us tremendously, we are convinced that France is one of the countries to beat in this realm.
We could not be more excited to kick off coverage of the prestigious French brand, Maison Lejaby since 1884 with the Precieuse line, which we prefer in black. This is our first Maison Lejaby experience ever, and we can verify that it is sized correctly-as in if you think you are a small you will be a small in these briefs, and this also carries through to the bra in both cup size and number around. Size is crucial, and so is fit which is also perfection at this brand. The materials scream classy quality, and from the elastic to the beautiful materials engaged to craft this wildly sensational tribute to Underneath it All ecstasy, Maison Lejaby sets the standard for what underwear should be with their Precieuse line.
We love how every last detail is attended to by Maison Lejaby, and they are a brand that brings lingerie to an art form. So who are they? Maison Lejaby has been one of the jewels of
French lingerie since 1884. Lejaby proved to be
art of the avant-garde, proposing innovative
solutions, setting new trends, yet always tuning in
to women's needs and desires. Lejaby offers style
and a perfect fit, making products of undisputed qu
ality with uncomparable know-how. Hence, the
harmony found in its creations, graphic spirit, and
audacious blends of beautiful and contrasted materials.
Today more than ever, Lejaby embodies a true e
lixir of happiness and emotions, making women
happy, at ease with their body and their seducing power. We highly recommend their Precieuse line!

Constant innovation
With women always at the heart of its focus and
as a precursor of trends, in the 1960s, Maison
Lejaby negotiated for the exclusivity of LYCRA®
fibre in France. Until that time, the elastic parts of
a bra were composed of natural gum (rubber, in
fact), which dried out and disintegrated over time.
LYCRA® would add its extreme lightness and du
rability to create new, optimized comfort. Com
bined with Nylon, also new on the market, the c
are of garments became easier (rapid drying, no
ironing, etc.). Today, the selection and attention
focused on sophisticated materials which
LYCRA® fibre “dynamises” are major assets to Maison Lejaby’s very modern collections.
A partner in women’s lib
The 1970s were marked by the women’s lib mo
vement. Again, Maison Lejaby was there. In res
ponse to miniskirts and the winds of freedom, the
Maison innovated and opened up new horizons in
the world of lingerie. The Liberty line created in
1972 was a true revolution: a line with no rein
forcement and in six bright colors, far removed
from the ultra-classical styles of yesteryears. In
1977, the Mandarine line reworked scallops, until
then used only on slips, to offer a new form of decorative, seductive décolletés.
Creator of invisibility in corsetry, w
here lingerie often rhymes with seduction,
Maison Lejaby takes a different stance to offer
women a new approach to lingerie. In 1995, the
brand launched Nuage and for the first time used
microfiber, a material that was very new at the
time. Nuage marked the beginning of the era of
Invisibles and Ultra-comfortable. Season after sea-son, Nuage has become even more natural, chic, t
rendy and refined, and can be broken down
infinitely to please women in all their daily mome
nts. In 1999, Invisible Briefs were included in
the collection and became references in terms of c
omfort and innovation. More than 13 million
units have already been sold and the success continues today.
For their 2013 Spring-Summer Collection,
Madame Colette’s couture workshops want to s
ublimate the heritage of the past via:
- A culture of permanent creation and perfecting
- A daring combination of materials both highly
technical and luxurious
- An obsessional search for the perfect fit
- The revival of expertise in couture methods
and craftsmanship, 100% handmade and 100% made in France
Spring brings new life. Flowers, with reborn
courage, peek through the snow.Robins sing a se
renade and their dances of love light up the sky. A
fter the winter, the survival instinct takes over
and nature, back to its essentials, becomes all the
stronger. The same holds true for the new
Maison Lejaby: a delicate plant breaking through
the ice, but full of the sap that transforms buds
into fields of flowers.The 2013 Spring-Summer
Corsetry, Swimwear and Couture collection pays
homage to all the “hands” - the small, modest and
courageous flowers, that bring life to Maison
Lejaby Couture’s new beginnings. Homage to cou
ture design. A style that is worked to perfection. A
very precise, but light hand tracing a structured
line. Homage to the loveliest materials, the most
precious fabrics and the most delicate lace. Fine
silk dressed in hand-crafted embroidery. H
omage to the very difficult work of colour on
silhouettes. Calligraphy in China ink.The obviousn
ess of a monochrome line. Off-whites with “toi
et moi” and off-blacks.Then a fantastic palette of
pastels. Couture colours: the culture of precise
colours. Delicate, contrasted, surprising yet
seductive hues. Homage to the Maison’s perfect
fit. An invisible scientific approach to the anatomy
and comfort. An art forgotten once worn. And
that is its success – when a good fit and pleasure
meet. When hidden stitches reveal character.
Homage to daring corsetry that is no longer
concealed – a veil to unveil.Apparent or conceal
ed: the art of seduction. Letting the body live free. Homage to the unique expertise of the corsetry
seamstresses. Prodigies who tame shapes and
matter with a firm but light hand, just like a caress.
Homage to Madame Colette, the Studio’s direct
or, who lends her eyes, hands and voice to Cou
ture Corsetry. The writer Colette loved spring
flowers. Colette, the concept boutique, sparkling
with blue dots. Every spring, Madame Colette
brings corollas to life, lovingly draping the upper
body.Homage to eight moments in a Parisian wo
man’s life.Timeless, yet so modern.
