If you love ruffles, this is your season. Whether it's a blouse for the office, fun night out, or on your swimsuit, ruffles are out there for you. There's something in every colour, shape and style.
I have always been a big fan of ruffles. Ruffles are soft and romantic and very flattering when you find "the one" for you! Capture the colour and shape you love, with just the right amount of ruffle for your body, its magic. There is something out there for everybody, the placement of the ruffle is really important. This new trend has me reminiscing over some of my fashion choices over the years and I've always been a fan. Ruffles on my wedding dress, my "going away dress", swimsuits over the years. I'm thrilled they are back, they are so my thing! I love feminine clothes, dresses, skirts, pretty blouses. I must admit, I haven't found a blouse that I've loved in several years. Until now! Soft blush pink, sheer, just the right amount of ruffles along the centre button line, pretty little ruffle on the sleeve, topped with a bow at the neck. I like the neck bow/pussy bow draped behind me. It adds a bit of drama on the exit as well.
Even swimwear and swimwear accessories are getting on board with ruffles, check out this cute one-piece swim suit and dramatic cover-up. Ruffles in one location on the body may be enough. I love this swimsuit with a simple cover-up or a less dramatic swimsuit topped with this gorgeous Lisa Marie Fernandez cover- up.
You really need to try them on to find the right placement for you and the right amount of ruffle. Big ruffles draw attention to your bust, so if you don't want that, stick with a smaller ruffle that runs vertically rather than horizontal ruffles. If its sheer on top the right underpinning is key. A pretty lace bra under it is a great look, but may not be for everyone. If you want something with more coverage, try a camisole or a cami bra under your sheer blouse. Sheer blouses have a great flow to them, they fall beautifully over a skirt, pants or jeans and are can be very flattering.
If you want to give this trend a try, but would like a simple version of the ruffle, this Alice and Olivia top is a winner!

You've probably purchased your 9to5 Bra to wear to work to provide comfort, support and coverage. Have you tried wearing your 9to5 Cami Bra to a yoga class, lifting weights or speed walking?
]]>
A Cami Bra is just like your regular bra!
Its made with underwires for lift and support
A band for support
Soft molded cups to enhance your shape and provide extra coverage
It has adjustable straps
An adjustable band with hook and eye
What makes a Cami Bra different from other bras is the added fabric that covers the cups as well as providing cleavage coverage.
Inside View of Cami Bra
The 9to5 Cami Bra has been awarded patents in Canada and the United States for design and utility.

In the 80's the big trend in workout wear was a full body leotard with a colourful thong over it or tights with a thong over them with a sports bra. We were inspired by Jane Fonda and the 20 Minute Workout! Yes, this was fitness fashion in the 80's and lots of us were rocking this look!
.
2000's
It has not been uncommon to see a pair of tights, that are a bit too thin showing a thong underneath. This image is a bit of an exaggeration of this trend, but we've all seen the thong under workout pants.
Today's Workout Fashion Trend
Today we are trending toward workout leggings with designs that accentuate our curves! These pants are super cute. The company name is Aim'n, the website says it was started by 2 happy girls from Sweeden. I think they are onto something!
https://www.aimn.com/global/black-stripe-tights-15010104-010
Gym Shark is UK company who is doing something similar, its also cute and looks super comfy! This is the Flex Crop Legging. I saw these on a girl at the gym and was inspired enough do research them. https://www.gymshark.com/collections/bottoms/womens
]]>Soma Intimates used to make the Oh My Gorgeous Cami Bra in lace. It appears to be discontinued. Do you think Wink Intimates should make the 9to5 Cami Bra in lace as well as the smoothe version that you love so much?
We would like to add some new colours and would love some feedback from you! Some thoughts are, nude, soft pink, ivory and animal print. Let us know what colours you need in your wardrobe.
Thanks!!
]]>Picture all the tops that are too low cut, or dresses you can't wear to a certain event because it shows more than you want.
Take a look at your wardrobe and see if the addition of the Cami Bra gives you more options.
]]>REASON #1
Have you ever noticed the gap between the buttons on a blouse? Looks like you're giving a mini peep show?
REASON #2
V necks are great, but when you bend over...everything hangs out! Whether you're a B cup or DDD, it happens!
REASON #3
The wrap dress, or wrap top is so flattering. The conundrum is what to wear under it? As you move the dress or top moves too, away from the middle leaving you and your bra exposed.
There you have it, the three main reasons you need a Cami Bra!
]]>
If you're looking for a solution product to cover that extra bit of cleavage in your favourite summer dresses and tops, we have you covered.
It appears both Olga Intimates and Soma Intimates no longer stock their version of the cami bra. Our 9to5 Cami Bra and 9to5 Cami Shape will maximize your wardrobe!
Wink Intimates offers the patented 9to5 Cami Bra and 9to5 Cami Shape in both black and white.

]]>This trend is sassy, but that's the point!
When I designed the 9to5 Cami Bra, I designed it to look like a tank top so women wouldn't feel self-conscious their bra was showing. The latest trend entails wearing your bra on the outside of your top. We've seen a plethora of examples of bras showing under clothes. But the idea of wearing your bra on the outside seems novel.
I'm not sure I'm ready to add this new trend to my style. But the example above looks cute for a teenager.
It was only a matter of time, it wasn't long ago that it became mainstream not to fuss if your bra strap showed under a tank top. Why not just display the whole darn thing!

Send me your pictures or videos, showing the world how you wear your 9to5 Cami Bra.
We'll post them as inspiration for our followers and customers. Come back soon to check out some customer photos.
The picture above is me wearing my 9to5 Cami Bra with my favourite DVF wrap dress. The classic problem with anything wrap style is keeping it from opening and exposing more than intended!
Solution: 9to5 Cami Bra won't bunch up under a slim fitting dress, leaving a seamless silhouette.

Not everyone looks great in a skinny jean and not everyone can pull off a flare. Regardless of what is in fashion right now, it's more important to find the jeans that flatter your figure. Maybe you can rock the boyfriend, the skinny and the flares, but most of us will know which style is going to make us pop!
All brands of jeans will fit differently, so if your a 28 in one style don't freak out if you need to go up a size. It's all about feeling good in your own skin and your second skin....those jeans!
Whether you pair them with cute sneakers, flats or sexy heels. The right cut jeans will take you almost anywhere you need to go. You might find the perfect jeans on the sale rack or you might need to invest in them, but they are one piece that is worth investing in if they make you feel like a rock star!
]]>Wear your animal print over your favourite dress like Miroslava has done below with an emerald green shift and sassy green suede lace ups.
I'm loving this casual, yet somehow "Jackie O" look with the laid back denim on denim, soft neutral grey pumps topped with a beautiful blue/animal print combo car length jacket.
If the above is just too much animal print for your taste, there is always the fashionable sweep of a luxurious animal print scarf worn over black on black!
]]>You can't go wrong with this look, a sexy wrap dress worn on its own or over a 9to5 Cami Bra. When the party season ends, change up the pumps for black tights and boots.
These pieces are timeless, I've had my YSL flap clutch for several seasons and still love it.
The Jimmy Choo patent pumps look great with jeans too, very versatile. I love patent, I think it always looks fresh and polished!
You can splurge on the designer version or surf the web to find similar pieces in your budget.
A big thank you to our new customers who used to purchase Oh My Gorgeous Cami Bra from Soma Intimates and Chico's. You've told us you can no longer get an Oh My Gorgeous Cami Bra from Soma Intimates and loved wearing a cami bra under your blouses, lower cut tops and dresses.
You've tried the 9to5 Cami Bra from Wink Intimates and you're telling us "you love it!" The quality and comfort of our bras are second to none!

Packing for a vacation is challenging, who knows what the weather will be, you're never sure if it will be a very casual or a dressy destination. So, if you're like me you like to try your best to cover the bases and inevitably overpack. Resulting in luggage that is too heavy to lug around and now you have to pay extra if you're flying.
Once you have determined what clothes to bring, you need to be sure to have the right undergarments for those choices
These are the must have bras for travel:
Convertible bra - find a comfortable bra that will convert from a regular bra to halter and racer back or criss-cross back.
Cami bra - rather than packing a variety of tanks and cami's to wear under your clothes find a great cami bra.
Adhesive bra - they come in a package of 2 in a variety of cup sizes.
Summer is right around the corner, enjoy your holiday and happy packing!
]]>I've recently learned about an App that will tell you what size bra you should purchase. As an online bra store, this sounds like an amazing App.
The company is called Third Love, go to your App store download the Third Love App and see how it works for you.
Even in our 20's we have already been purchasing bras for years, studies have shown that most women are wearing the wrong bra size. From my experience, I have noticed that many women are purchasing a bra with band size too large and cup size too small. Example; often a woman who has been purchasing a 36D may, in fact, be better suited to a 34DD. The band needs to fit snugly to support the breasts. The cup needs to be ample to hold the breast, spilling out is not very attractive...it creates extra bumps that are not flattering. It's also important to be sure to use the adjustment on the shoulder strap to keep you lifted. Check the slider frequently, as with daily wear the slider will loosen.
We offer a fitting video on this website to assist you with measuring to find the best fit for your next bra purchase!

You could spend $10,000.00 on a boob job or a fraction of that on a good bra that fits properly and some exercise. If you feel like your boobs aren't what they used to be, try these tips first before you head to your plastic surgeon.
First things first, get yourself a bra that fits well and provides great support and lift. When designing the 9to5 Cami Bra we wanted a bra that offered great lift and support for "the girls". The 9to5 line of bras offers that as well as comfort. There are lots of great bras on the market, be sure you get the correct size, most women wear bras that don't fit properly, therefore, won't provide the shape you want.
Secondly, upper body exercises will increase muscle in your bust area resulting in better cleavage and fuller chest.
Come back later this week for exercises to lift and shape your boobs!

You know you have a unique invention. You've created a prototype and you wonder, should I bother with a patent? The answer is yes. Here are 5 simple steps to patenting your product.
1. Do your homework, research the CIPO and USPTO sites to ensure your product is unique
2. If you can't afford to hire an attorney, you can do it yourself. (I did...it takes time and dedication, but you can do it!)
3. Don't let anyone but your "circle of trust" know about your invention.
4. Find a mentor who has done this before and don't be afraid to ask for advice. Most people are happy to help out, they've been there before and know how you feel.
5. Once you have filed your paperwork, be sure to pay your fees and respond to all correspondence with CIPO and USPTO on time.
Anytime you need assistance, contact the patent office they are super helpful and from my experience very pleasant too!
Good Luck, you'll be happy you took the first step to patenting your invention!

What you wear under that dress can make or break your look. Bumps and bulges or pantyline...nobody wants to see a photo of themselves at an important event and wonder, why didn't someone tell me you could see my bra strap or pantyline?
Whether you're off to the office or out for a night on the town, wearing the right underpinning is key!
Why not try shopping and ordering your Shapewear and bra online? You can peruse the internet in search for the perfect underthings. It's super fun when the parcel arrives at your door! Best of all...you try it on in the privacy of your own home, in lighting that makes you look good and in a mirror of your choosing. If you've already got the outfit and are looking for the right underpinning, you have it there...right down to the shoes!
Grab your tablet, phone or computer and shop till your hearts content!

Tis the season to dress up and head out to the family (or office) festive party or after-work dinner – and everyone needs a game changer to, well…change things up! Hmm....what to wear? We all have that “outfit” that’s not quite right for a family party or post-work office function, but you love it! Well love it enough to wear it with the confidence it deserves! You can totally wear and rock that outfit with one simple addition (hint: it’s not jewelryJ).
While recently browsing my own wardrobe I had a dilemma of my own, then I found the answer. My passion for my 9to5 Cami Bra was re-ignited! Black angora sweater dress, too low for a family function, DVF wrap dress...also too revealing, cream blouse...too much cleavage. Here I am, many years after creating the 9to5 Cami Bra and it’s still a game changer for my wardrobe.
If I didn’t have my 9to5 Cami Bra, I would have had a serious fashion conundrum! Armed with my 9to5 Cami Bra and Cami Shape I was self-assured that I could wear anything in my closet and know that I'm dressed appropriately for my family gathering!
Don’t be afraid to try mixing the 9to5 Cami Bra and/or shaper into your existing apparel selection. Buy one in each color, put on some lipstick and feel totally confident that nothing is where it shouldn’t be.
P.S.
You can throw a jacket or blouse on the next day (with the other color) and totally pull together a great office look. It’s the gift (to yourself) that keeps on giving.
