I found Liz at the Rochester Unveiled bridal show back in January. I was toying around with the…read moreidea of boudoir photos as a wedding gift for my fiancé but I was on the fence until I met Liz. She is easy to talk to and has a professional yet fun demeanor which helped me decide to book my mini session with her. My wedding is in September so I had my boudoir photo shoot with Liz just a few weeks ago. First of all, Liz's guide of what to expect and lingerie and accessory tips were a godsend! I was really at a loss of what to buy that would be best for my curvy body and would make me feel beautiful and comfortable. I would have never thought to wear a bodysuit but Liz recommended them for curvy women and she was absolutely right! My bodysuit accentuated my curves and looked killer in the photos. Her recommendation of cheeky/Brazilian underwear instead of thongs was also really flattering to my figure, I would have never gone with those as I am used to wearing thongs. My other outfits included a fitted teddy, bridal bra and panty set, and of course a corset with thigh highs and garters for a more risqué look. DSW has a lot of great shoes for boudoir in their clearance section to keep it more affordable. I used earrings and bracelets I already had but after looking at my photos afterward it's not noticeable or really needed. If I were to do it again, I think some beautiful bracelets would be the only thing I would focus on. Manicures, pedicures, waxing, and tanning are all nice touches but not needed. These things might make you feel more beautiful but to keep it more affordable I would skip. I highly recommend adding the extra hour to your session. I am so happy I did this because I was able to add a few more outfits and really ease in and get comfortable with taking the photos. I had tons of great photos to choose from at the end! I was hoping for just a few decent ones but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful they all turned out and I attribute that to having more time with Liz to get comfortable and try out different poses and facial expressions. Makeup was included in the package. I added hair for $25 since I'm not good at that. Lindsay was amazing and gave me beautiful wavy curls and sexy makeup plus she was super sweet and fun to talk to and really puts time into making sure everything is perfect. Starting with hair and makeup plus a delicious mimosa really helped me relax before the photo shoot. Did I mention how great the studio is?!? Modern, sleek decor with a great music system all contributed to the mood of the shoot. During the shoot and when viewing the final results, I was really impressed at Liz's great eye for capturing gorgeous shots. She is imaginative and a pro that really is a specialist in this type of photography. I'm still feeling beautiful and more confident weeks after the shoot. I just thought of this as a neat gift for my fiancé but I got much more of it than I could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better boudoir experience!!!!

You have NO idea how excited I was that we got a Torrid in the mall!…read more I love Torrid - a place where I, as a curvier woman, can find clothes that are cute, that don't make me look like I'm wearing a muumuu. Where I can feel comfortable in a dress, versus feeling like hiding. The new store is beautifully done, there is a lot of room in there for moving around and perusing their selections, and DANG if the clothes aren't just to die for! I know that the prices are relatively high, but I've never had any problems with a purchase from Torrid, (as long as you follow along the care instructions). They also have amazing deals where you get cash back (like Kohl's cash) or deals where you buy one, get two free on clearance. So just keep an eye out for sales if you're not a big money shopper, they occur often and are totally worth it.

SO helpful with the payment process and getting me an almost $600 discount after everything was said and done because I was buying that same day. The store was clean, every single employee was so nice to talk to, the rooms were spacious and I appreciated being able to get into and out of dresses myself without a stylist watching me do so! Discussing alterations was easy with them, they kept every idea I had realistic and even provided opinions and helped me think some ideas up! The dress will be here quickly too, about a month but I'm sure that's dependent on how detailed the dress you purchase is. AMAZINGGGGG experience!!!

ALL FELL OUT not even 5 minutes into being buttoned in. My aunt who does a lot of sewing said there is no tears in the dress and if there was the dress would have been bustled correctly. I found little squares with buttons on them behind me all throughout the night. To say I'm pissed is an understatement as the value of what I paid, the bustles should have lasted the ENTIRE night it was supposed to be bustled (around 4 hours). They had to use all sorts of pins to keep it up. Picture below

She sized us perfectly and steered us to the bras we asked for. My daughter was very nervous going through this, but in the end, she was very happy. Me, too.

Comment about the cashiers...we were checking out at 9 pm. There was one cashier who was busy, so another one came up. She seemed to be not very happy when she started with us, but my opinion of that changed. We will be back in a heartbeat!
