 Claire Pettibone was raised by artist parents in rural New York in a nineteenth century home where Claire began to explore her artistic nature. At the age of 4, after attending a wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, Claire began drawing brides and begged her mother to make her a wedding gown! She graduated from Otis Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles, and began working for a lingerie company. She and her beau decided to start their own lingerie company. It would be a beautiful, high-end line using intricate laces and embroideries with very feminine styling. Several years later, Claire launched her couture bridal collection. Claire has several lines–
The Luxury Lingerie collection captures feminine wiles and romance using the finest laces and fabrics from around the world, each collection is an intricate creation that will inspire and delight the senses.

The Bleu Claire is a ready-to-wear collection which embodies the light, relaxed spirit of this contemporary lifestyle collection. Vibrant prints, and tie-dyes with feminine details are perfect for every day, pajamas or casual night out. Just the sort of fresh, sophsticated pieces that easily mix and match into a cool girl’s wardrobe.

Use this checklist to make sure your bra fits you properly.
1. The back is properly adjusted; the three hooks are designed for this purpose.
2. The sides shouldn’t fold or feel too tight.
3. The bra should not move when you move around.
4. The bra should not cut into the breasts.
5. The straps should be properly adjusted; not too tight (the back strap creeps up and the breasts dip down), and not too loose (the bra is not supportive enough).
And if despite all of the correct strap adjustments, you have the feeling the back is still a little too high, choose a smaller band size and a larger cup, i.e., choose 34C instead of 36B.

Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer. And summer means lighter, carefree clothing, often in lighter colors. Sundresses, tees, camis, bare-shouldered tanks and halter tops can make finding the perfect bra during the summer tough. Lighter clothing may be ideal for the heat of summer, but it can leave you too exposed under fine and delicate materials. But thankfully, manufacturers have gotten wise to the fact that summer clothing can require a special bra.
Here are some bras you can’t live without during the summer:
Convertible bra
Many manufacturers are now making bras with interchangeable adjustable straps that can be adjusted for strapless tops and dresses, cross-back styles, halters, or traditional T-shirts. Worn with one strap, two straps, or no straps, the convertible bra is designed to create the configuration you want with the choice of going strapless or wearing your bra many different ways.
T- Shirt bra
T-shirt bras are seamless, contoured styles that give you a sleek look under lightweight, clingy tops and knit shells, providing a completely smooth look with a natural shape. A demi bra style is great when wearing a plunging or revealing neckline.
Racer back or T- back bra
Showing your straps can be tacky or fashionable, depending on your perspective. However most women want to make sure their straps are hidden and stay hidden. For tank tops and racer back fashions, wear a racer back or t-back bra to keep your bra straps out of view. If you can’t find one in your size, a convertible bra can be modified to achieve the same result. Another solution is attaching a little plastic disc to the back of your straps, which turns a regular bra into a racer back bra.
Strapless bra
A strapless bra is a must-have in your wardrobe. Wear under spaghetti strapped tanks and strapless tops. If you believe you can’t find one that gives you a nice shape, is comfortable, and or stays up, try again, because there are more options than ever before. Even if you wear size DD bras and larger, you can find one that is supportive and flattering to your figure.
Backless/Strapless bra
A backless/strapless is the solution for extremely low cut plunging backs or fronts. Totally free of straps and nearly invisible under clothing and sheer and halter tops, this bra solves many wardrobe problems because the bra cups stick to your body and becomes a part of you. You can create different degrees of cleavage by positioning the bra cups closer or farther away.
