Why Women Are Buying Inexpensive Bridal Gowns Under $99

I'm going to ask for comments regarding what I am about to discuss with you and I hope you will come forward and share your honest thoughts. Let's talk bridal gowns. Yes, it is true that your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life and most women that I knew also want a wedding dress that was the most beautiful for this day…but at what cost?

Nowadays, a wedding dress comes with a price, most often a price tag much higher than women would like to pay, nonetheless they pay it because they want all eyes on her as she marches down the aisle.

When I got married years ago, my parents spent so much on the wedding itself that they couldn't afford to buy me the wedding dress of my dreams so I was fortunate enough to get one on lend from a family member. Although I was most grateful, I still had wished that I had a dress of my own to pass on to my daughter or at least to keep in a box in my closet or attic to remember my wedding day and reminisce about the magical memories of that special day. Unfortunately, not all weddings last.

It's 2018 and times have certainly changed. In this era that we are now living in the divorce is on the rise and in 2017 the statistics showed that somewhere between 45-55% of the people that got married are getting divorced or have already divorced. Are women purchasing bridal gowns because they want to save money or are they buying them because they figure why spend so much if the marriage may not  last?

First of all, we hope that all marriages last forever. We aren't going to chat about divorce today…we are going to talk about why women are turning to lower cost wedding dresses. When a woman buys a wedding dress that is on sale or at an inexpensive cost people think that they are being cheap, and to say that you bought a 'cheap' wedding dress to many people honestly just sounds tacky. The word 'cheap' in itself just sounds bad....so just say inexpensive.

Truth be told, there are a lot of beautiful wedding dresses on the market today that are stunningly gorgeous and super inexpensive. Inexpensive is a much better word to use than cheap, wouldn't you agree? How inexpensive? I'm talking under $99 inexpensive. At Simply Delicious our online store takes great pride in delivering women affordable bridal gowns that are exquisite. The ratio of women who are buying inexpensive bridal gowns surpasses those who are spending a small fortune on them. In all reality, no one is going to know how expensive or inexpensive your bridal gown is unless they are ruthless enough to ask. That isn't any ones business but yours.

What we are seeing is that lower price bridal attire is catching on and more and more women are buying affordable gowns for their wedding day. Hey, if you want to spend a lot on a gown that's your prerogative…nevertheless, before you go out and spend a lot of your hard earned dough, take a peek at our bridal gowns as you will find them in range of styles and many for under $99. Our wedding attire will compliment a variety of figures and they come in an array of sizes. There is a reason why so many retailers and bridal specialists are selling more inexpensive wedding dresses.

It will start at the upper body and works its way down creating an effect of a flatter midsection. It continues on to the lower body, slimming the hips and thighs, while hiking up the tush so it’s not flabby or saggy looking. 

I was watching Shark Tank one evening and there was a woman who was trying to get a loan to expand her body enhancer line. In the panel 5 sharks, and in that 5, 3 being men, they declined her offer stating that a woman who wears a body shaper/enhancer want men to believe that they have a perfect shape. They said it was deceiving if/when she would remove her clothes while being romantic with them. Why? Well, they would then certainly find out that she was not as shapely as she appeared to be and it was false advertisement of her  womanhood, more less. Honestly gentlemen, I do beg to differ. Obviously these men have never gone through childbirth where their hips blew out or their boobs sagged after nursing an infant, or how about weight gain from menopause? The thing is, its not only women that wear these. No, they won't admit it nevertheless there are some men that want to hide their beer gut too!

 In closing, a body shaper or enhancer is a good temporary fix, kind of like when you chip a tooth and the dentist gives you a temporary filling until you can get in for a crown. The body enhancers and shapers are only designated to give you more or less that same type of temporary fix of flattery. Watching your weight, eating healthy and proper exercise with a good fitness coach is the best route to take to look and feel your very best!

Beauty is More Than Just Skin Deep…

We've all heard that saying "beauty is only skin deep" yet many women simply do not understand the true meaning of this quote. Ones physical beauty can be quite superficial and believe it or not its just not as important as a person's emotional and intellectual attributes. Some women believe that if they are not pretty enough that they won't look sexy in lingerie. First of all, in my own person opinion…that's hogwash. Beauty doesn't define who you are as a person. Beauty isn't about who you are on the surface.

Today, many women find beauty in lingerie. Lingerie is more than just an undergarment. It is accepted in the world of fashion and today the fashion industry has hit an all time high leaving the million dollar industry by totally surpassing it and pushing through to the billion dollar industry. Most of us women see buying new lingerie a necessity and shopping online for sexy lingerie is increasing every day thus making it far easier for women to select their desired undergarments in privacy!

Lingerie is available in a wide variety of fabrics, vivid colors and styles, nonetheless, lingerie has not been yet entirely made as available in the plus size market. Sure it has come a long over the past several years however with the plus size industry growing at such a rapid pace, women who fall into this category are still being over looked.

With this being said, some women love slipping into sexy lingerie and then again, some women think that they are not the type or right size or fit to wear such undergarments. Let me tell you, if you wake up every day and put on a bra and panties you are already wearing lingerie so buy a sexy bra set that makes you feel pretty and sexy!

Fill that lingerie drawer with a variety of women's intimate apparel so that every day when you put it on you look and feel great! What if you are a bit insecure about wearing lingerie? If this sounds like you, it's time to work on your confidence level. You certainly do not need to buy something that you aren't going feel good wearing. Lingerie is also something as simple as a corset. Many women wear corsets as a fashion statement with a pair of blue jeans and some simple accessories.

Confidence is something that is crucial with women of all ages and of all sizes. When you are confident, it shines far more than ones beauty. Beauty is not rewarded if you are a size 2. Beauty is redeemed by how good you feel about yourself on the inside as well as the outside. Looks are only skin deep. True beauty is something inside of you that is a special trait of who you are as a person.

There are some women that have a glow about them and are they are happier than most. You have to feel good about yourself. There is a certain lack of confidence that many woman have and often I have to ponder the thought as to why? Some feel insecure, some are shy, some women are not used to being so forward, and some women feel like because they are not the perfect size that they don't matter.

Beauty comes in all size and in all colors. If you are a women who loves to look at lingerie yet feels that you aren't the type or right size to wear it lose that thought right now! At Simply Delicious Lingerie & Bridal  we have something for everyone. Our store was designed with women of all sizes in mind. In fact, we cater to women of all ages and sizes.

Top 10 Tips That Your Boyfriend/Spouse is Cheating...

There is one word in the English language that no woman wants to hear. CHEATER. No one likes to be played the fool. My grandmother used to always say; "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Lets face it ladies, no woman wants to ever believe that her man is cheating on her. What starts out something as simple as flirting or teasing can turn into a giant ball of lies that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I generally write about two things...lingerie and love. I love lingerie. I know love. 

Is your man being unfaithful? If you ask him and he is extremely defensive and tries to make you feel like you're crazy for suspecting anything, then that's a key indicator. The cheating man does more than lie, he will then try to turn it around and make the woman feel like she's out of line.  If you notice a decrease in sex over a period of time in your relationship and he cannot make direct eye contact at you then Good Lord, let this be your 'red flag!'

Relationships are Built on 3 things:

Love, Trust and Communication. 
If you are missing one or more of these you need to look at the big picture because you've got problems.

Top 10 tips that your mate is cheating:

1) Your mate easily becomes offended when you make normal and natural inquiries and may demand to know why you are checking up on him. He asks you why you constantly nag at him? He may tell you to stop trying to control him or his life. You're not his mother, remember? He begins to question why, why, why you keep asking him ridiculous questions?

2)Your mate's sleeping pattern changes considerably from the norm and may include unexplainable exhaustion, restlessness, frequent nightmares and sleep-talking. He may fall asleep on the couch and when he ventures to bed act as if he is sleeping immediately. Why? He's all sexed out from being with someone else and can't get it up perhaps. 


3) Your mate is more interested in playing with his cell phone including texting and checking emails than spending time talking with you or making love to you. 

4) Your mate stops complimenting you on your looks...why? Because he found someone else to compliment. 

5)Your mate rarely talks to you. You live together but you don't interact hardly at all anymore. Your communication really sucks. He has become cold and inconsiderate of your feelings and hasn't a clue as to what is going on in your personal life whatsoever, what's worse is that he doesn't even ask. Why? Because he is always too busy talking about himself. If you can't stroke his ego, he finds someone who will to fill the emotional void. 

6) Ok, so here is the flip-side to #5; Your mate is more attentive to your needs than usual. This is due to the guilty feelings experienced by the cheater in the early stages of his or her affair. The attention will diminish as the affair continues.

7)You know your mate's habits, routines and attitudes better than anybody, so be suspicious when these things start to change. You may even begin to catch him in little lies, ...the reality of it all is that these turn to big lies and before long it gets easier and easier to lie more and more.

8)Your mate becomes super moody and down right angry at times. He seems very upbeat and excited when leaving you but acts somber and depressed when he's around you. Most often looking for excuses to get out and run errands but never has an explanation of where he has been for a few hours of 'lost' time that he cannot account for. 

9)Your mate easily becomes offended at the comments or digs you make, however harmless they may be. Why? Because he has something to hide!

10) Your mate would rather spend time with someone than be with you. Is he taking more cash out of the ATM than he used to? Could it be that he wants no paper trail of where the money is going and who he is spending it on, because it certainly isn't you. Does he golf too much, go to the gym more than usual or have business meetings more often than before? Or does he go out to dinner with you and you find him checking his cell phone, or taking calls that he says he 'has to take' and then steps outside for a few minutes leaving you alone? These are signs that your relationship is in trouble and that someone is monopolizing his time, and sister it's not you!

Lingerie…Simple, Yet Super Sexy

Lingerie is a word that is used today in fashion. Women wear it for a number of reasons but mostly to feel sexy. There is something to be said about a woman who seeks simple…she desires the feel of sensual without over-kill. Too many women think that you have to get all gussied up to wear lingerie when in fact, you can wear it while you are at home on a Friday night because you didn't feel like getting dressed up after a long week and hitting to town with your BFFs.

Lingerie isn't a naughty negligee that you slip into for a night of erotica with your lover. Lingerie can be something as simple as buying yourself a new bra and panty set. Lingerie is sleepwear that you feel comfortable wearing that is cozy to your skin. You make feel like sleeping in a chemise or even babydoll lingerie. Regardless of what you choose, there are plenty of selections at our online boutique whereas you can certainly find something that suits your needs.

At Simply Delicious Lingerie we carry women's intimate apparel in an array of vivid colors and a multitude of sizes. Styles are plentiful at our store as we carry over 1000+ items in lingerie. Not all women like the same kind of intimate apparel so we try to offer a selection that fits every ones cup of tea. I read an article not long ago titled "Do women like wearing lingerie or do they just tolerate it?" The answer may be both, nonetheless, we would like to believe that it is something that a woman wears not simply for her partner rather for herself to boost her confidence and that she likes to wear it just for the fact that she feels pretty in it. If you have to wear it just to tolerate it you shouldn't be a wearing it at all, or you've chosen the wrong piece. You want to find something that is simple, yet something that certainly makes you feel sexy.

Lingerie is not something that is to be worn for extremely long hours so don't think that strapping up into that tight corset that is will accentuate your breasts for an evening out is going to feel good because it won't. thinking about a teddy and garter set with thing highs and the steep heels? The sound of that just is a turn off to many women.

Sexy is about feeling comfortable in your own skin and if you have to force yourself to feel sexy by wearing something that isn't necessarily your choice, it is the wrong choice. Select lingerie that isn't a chore to get into. If you are shy about lingerie just remember that a bra set is also lingerie and unless you are going commando, you do wear lingerie every day, you just may not think of it as such. Find something that you favor wearing that is appeasing to you and embrace it.

Lingerie + Fashion = Billion Dollar Industry

It seems nowadays that women will go to extreme lengths to boost their confidence level as well as their sex appeal. With that being said, did you know that a woman will spend on average 39 minutes a week choosing the right bra set? Did you know that 43% of women carry a spare pair of panties in their handbag? Did you know that white is the overall color favored by most women?

With so much to choose from in the USA and abroad in the lingerie industry, we make it our goal to give women what they want and offer them a selection that will not only provide them with style rather sex appeal. We know that women love an array of undergarments and in this billion dollar lingerie industry we must offer only the best in underthings.

Women's lingerie is sold to young ladies in their late teens to women in their 50s, 60s and even 70s. Age is just a number. Your figure is defined by the curves and the undergarments that you choose to hug them delicately. Sexy Lingerie Sets such as bra sets also called sexy matching sets are the intimate apparel piece that sells the most. Why? All women need to wear a bra and panties.

With the hundreds of styles represented in the fashion industry women now have a craving which includes multiple sets and in a variety of colors and styles. When we're younger we don't seem to think too much about support so it doesn't seem to be a big issue nevertheless as we get older, we realize that we need more support. No one wants saggy boobs and with that in mind we offer many styles with push up bras that will totally support your girls. With the conglomeration that you have to select from your top drawer of your lingerie chest should be overflowing with a beautiful collection of underthings.

With the billions of dollars that are spent on lingerie every year, women have numerous opportunities to buy it, to embrace it by allowing it to hug their torsos and to give it away to someone as a gift. It's simply not just lingerie any longer. Many women wear it as a fashion statement as Madonna once did when she started turning heads wearing sexy corsets as apparel. At Simply Delicious Lingerie and Bridal, our original thoughts were to give shoppers searching for women's intimates a shift in the market by offering the buyers somewhere else to shop where hassle wasn't part of the equation. Our goal was to alleviate the stress from having to shop at stores and shopping malls where they fight headaches over other customers, parking issues and traffic getting to and from the particular lingerie store. Our online boutique is 7 years old and was designed with our customers in mind...those who work long hours and have no time to get to the stores after their long hours of work. They are offered an opportunity to browse our online boutique for not only women's intimate apparel rather men's underwear , swimwear, and bridal gown and wedding apparel as well.

Don't turn your back on lingerie because you are too busy to buy it, instead, visit our website and shop online 365 days a years 24 hours a day and 7 days a week from the privacy of your own home or office. No more fighting for a parking spot. No more having a store turn their lights down to lure the shoppers out at closing time, no more embarrassing moments in fitting rooms, and no reason to run from the woman stalking you with a tape measure who wants to wrap it around your tatas.

Sure like others who adore shopping for lingerie, we agree that sex sells. Every day we are searching for new ways to accommodate our customers, both men and women and we ask them what they desire? It's not all about us, we thrive on our customers sales and their personal opinions and feedback do matter, because after all, they are the ones that keep our store in business.

Visit us today if you haven't already and browse our online store for fashionable women's intimate apparel and more. Although the industry is a billion dollar industry in fashion let us not forget that plus size lingerie and intimates for women have risen to $17.5 billion in sales. Most of these sales have increased due to the Internet website sales because let's face it, you won't find full figure lingerie in every retail store like you do regular sizes. We sell plus size lingerie as well as plus size bridal gowns.

Lingerie and Keeping the Spark in Your Relationship...

Many women, especially when they get settled into their relationships tend to get feeling too comfortable and with this comes a few things that anyone reading this will probably agree on...Maybe...you don't dress as sexy any longer? You don't come to bed for a night of steamy passion rather you come out of the bathroom in a pajama set or worse, shorts and a comfy t-shirt and the ultimate of bad? You stop shaving your legs on a daily basis.

A few things can and will happen; he'll notice for sure if you don't seem as willing to initiate foreplay or want intercourse. He might tell you that you're legs feel like he is rubbing up again a forest? Am I getting warmer? Look, where they might tend to drift off watching golf or sporting events and fall asleep on the couch or their favorite chair, we may feel that they are too tired for passion which leads to us getting a tad bit lazy when it comes to the bedroom. I get that, however, sometimes it's nice to rekindle that magic that brought you both together in the beginning.

I think that too many people watch television too much or read forums about fantasies between couples and way too many people associate this with their own relationship which can be utterly toxic. No relationships are the same. For a variety of reasons not all couples have that constant need to get it on.

Sometimes, especially if you have been married or in a relationship for a while and even more so if you have children, you find yourselves getting sidetracked by events involving them and by the end of the day passion is right out the window. It happens. It is also normal so do not think for a moment that you are having relationship problems. It just might mean that your schedules are or have become far too busy for one another.

For the ladies, plan an evening just for him whereas you make him special. Give him a massage, cook him a special romantic dinner and serve it up in something that is sure to get his attention. For the guys, don't forget to tell her how special she is from time to time, or every day for that matter. Say 'I Love You' more often. Tell her that she is pretty. Women love compliments just as men enjoy getting their egos stroked. Communication is key and whether your are doing it in a verbal or non-verbal way actions speak volume.

My non professional advice? Make the time. Make the time to show your lover or your partner that you care. Make the time to take a bubble bath together. Make the time to put on something sexy when you come to bed. Slinky to me is not sexy. I like something flowing or that covers my torso like babydoll lingerie or a chemise. Whatever your choice is, select the color that is vivid and right for you. Select the right size lingerie and the piece that makes you feel confident and sexy. You can keep the sparks in your relationship without having to bend over backwards for your partner to satisfy them. It only takes something little to ignite a spark...

Slip into something sensual and make tonight special. Shop Simply Delicious Lingerie for your intimate apparel needs. Keep it simple.
