Underneath it all
The right underpinnings are a must for today's sheer and fitted fashion. But how does one learn the ins and outs of bras that work like machinery to lift, separate, inflate, push and define?How do you find the perfect body slimmer or shaper, and how do such newfangled casings differ from the girdles of old?
The Neiman Marcus "Intimate Details" event continues during store hours through Saturday, with consultants available to unlock the mysteries of correct fit and use of undergarments to smooth and enhance the look of your outergarments.
Those who purchase $200 or more in the Intimate Apparel department will received a striped NM tote bag, in the colors of springtime, filled with such goodies as a Fernando Sanches cosmetic bag, a Spanx body stocking, Estee Lauder's Pleasure Intense lotion and fragrance, and more.
Footloose
Meanwhile, your foot's health doesn't have to be a trade-off between bunions and sexy shoes. Taryn Rose has come up with a winning combination of comfort and style, and she'll be at the Neiman Marcus Ladies Shoes department from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.Rose is an orthopedic surgeon who saw too many patients suffering from pain and deformities due to poor-fitting shoes, and decided to do something about it.
