I checked in on my client Sarah Wiener, owner of Trousseau Ltd., the other day to see what new and neat things she has in her beautiful lingerie and bridal accessory store. Countless brides have been expertly fitted with the proper foundation garments to make their dresses look their best. But Trousseau also has a lot of fun things for the bride and her maids. Here are just a few items Sarah showed me:

The Hanky Panky One Size Fits All Thong. This lovely bit of lingerie, available in regular and low rise, makes a great gift because there’s no guesswork when it comes to size. The bridal thongs feature Swavorski crystals spelling the words Bride, I Do, Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor and are available in white, ivory and pastel colors. There are also thongs without the crystals available in 25 other colors.

Bra Bags & Panty Cases by Brag. To keep your molded cup bra looking, and fitting, its best, store it in a bra bag. The panty case makes a perfect traveling companion.

Classy Bride Racer Back T Shirts. These little shirts are a lot of fun for the bachelorette party. Sarah carries the white racer back T’s with Swavorski crystals spelling the words Bachelorette Party, Bride, Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor.

Haley Hill Designs jewelry. These gorgeous chokers are designed around antique shoe buckles with Swavorski crystals and pearls. Bracelets and earrings complete the look.

Trousseau is located at 306 Maple Avenue West in Vienna. Drop by and see all the wonderful lingerie and bridal accessories. For hours call 703.255.3300 and visit them at www.trousseaultd.com.
