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.

Body shapers also known to many as Fajas will definitely make your body or waistline look smaller. Isn't that what every woman wants? No more love handles or muffin top. This is a temporary fix remember, not a permanent one so please don't attempt to wear these for a long period of time.

 An all in one body shaper will do just what the name says. It can also be referred to as a total body shaper. 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 today's era, we live in a society of everyone wanting some sort of instant gratification. Body shapers and body enhancers can provide this this nevertheless, please don’t let that stop you from shaping your body by knocking down those few inches, or working on overall weight loss program until your problem areas aren’t problems any more.Tara's Living Healthy 360° is a great place to start and highly recommended.Tara's Living Healthy 360° is located on our Simply Delicious Lingerie Specialty Vendor's Page.

 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.
