Why do I love lingerie?
It allows you to celebrate your body. Lingerie is more psersonal, private, special and secretive than a beautiful dress or your favourite power suit. It’s something only you and maybe your partner will see. Yet, it can help empower you to feel like the goddess you are.
My Favourite Bra
Anything by Lise Charmel. This is a true luxury bra which is manufactured in Lyon, France. It is intricate and beautiful the detailing is too pretty to resist. I love the Calais lace.
Why do I enjoy working at ML?
I get great satisfaction in being in a role that I can make a small difference in someone’s life. ML allows me to have work-life balance experience. Of course, the quality of the products that I can offer ML clients is simply amazing.

What do you love most about working with clients?
In the ~10 years I have been in customer service, I have discovered that one of my favourite things is learning about people, begin able to communicate with people around the world, solving their problems and learning something new every single day. I enjoy satisfying customer needs and making a positive difference in their day.

What’s your go-to bra? Loungewear?
I am a devoted supporter of the Cosabella Never Say Never balconette bra. It is truly unparalleled in terms of comfort and style with the unique neckline and color range. A real crowd pleaser. Keeping in theme with combining comfort and style, I love the Commando Butter Wide Leg Lounge Pants as a styling and loungewear piece.
Why do you love lingerie?
I view lingerie as a language of love, primarily self-love. How you feel on the inside reflects in how you behave outwardly. Lingerie is the physical manifestation of that concept, choosing to put on a lace set beneath a baggy t-shirt and jeans shows care for oneself regardless of who will see it or not. In turn, this elevates your perception of self and how you interact in the world. I know this sounds like a bold statement, but trust me, you’ll believe it when you try it for yourself.
Why Mel Lingerie?
Why choose a small local woman-owned business? Why choose an intimate, personalized experience provided by hand-selected expertly trained staff? Why choose a gentle body-positive bra fitting experience? Why choose to have a detailed profile with your size and preferences so every service can be on a first-name basis and the store becomes an extension of your closet? Why choose luxury? You’ll have to come in and see for yourself.
What do you love most about working with clients?
As a freelance stylist in my spare time, there’s nothing I love more than getting to know someone’s personal style and working with them to find ways to elevate and fulfill their vision. I love getting to know clients’ personalities and how they go about their day-to-day lives so I can best fit them with pieces that satisfy their comfort and support needs while also letting their personality shine. Those little moments of joy at finding the right piece, that I have the honor of sharing and facilitating, are the exact reason I do this.

What do you love most about working at ML? I love working with each customer and getting to know their favourite colours, styles etc and finding what looks and feels perfect on them. Its like solving a puzzle. Watching people light up and feel happy, excited, and beautiful in the pieces I’ve picked out for them is so fun and rewarding.
Why work at ML? Working with a close-knit team for a local small business is a really unique and lovely experience.
Why do you love lingerie? I love sexy fashion. Just the way I collect makeup, purses, and perfumes, I collect lingerie as well. Its like a private art collection only you and your lover have tickets to.
