Valentine’s Day and Uplifting Nighties

By Punch Pep Correspondent Elizabeth Fischer

Yes, you heard me right!  Uplifting Nighties is “hanging on without hanging out!”

This is the perfect Valentine treat, spring treat or anytime treat every woman can enjoy!  The perfect indulgence for you, your loved one, your partner, your mother, your sister, your friend, the neighbor who peers out at you from behind her curtain, or the dreaded mother-in-law (just kidding to all the kind mother-in-laws out there); and it allows you a certain independence where traditional nightgowns or lingerie fall short.  This replaces the t-shirt and shorts combo; or the branded image of your parents’ old holey robe that keeps you wearing stylish but not necessarily comfy, relaxing or secure pajamas so no one can say you ‘became your parents!’  Let’s face it while lingerie is fun and sexy and silky robes are beautiful we spend most of our time in comfort and comfort doesn’t necessarily translate to beauty, gorgeousness, splendor, attractiveness, or loveliness.  But that is changing…Co-founders and friends, Margaret Bruns and Laura Byer, were determined to fill the need of women by building the perfect nightie.  After experimenting with different fabrics and designs, Bruns and Byer launched a line of gorgeous sleepwear ranging from a French-inspired lace slip to a cocktail style dress to a two-piece pajama lounge set.

Despite my petite size, I have yet to find sexy pajamas or silky robes that I want to sit in all day (no matter the cost – my image never quite equates to what I see in the movies – of course I am not part of the 1% (in terms of wealth) so my choices are somewhat limited).  I am an everyday chick who wants to embrace her sexy side with her sporty side in comfort without wearing a bra.  Uplifting nightie provides me this luxury and so much more.  Imagine being able to walk the beach on a cool morning as the sunrise hovers at the edge of the ocean without changing into regular clothes? or putting on a bra? for fear that if you don’t you might just forever scar anyone you come into contact with in those early morning hours.  Imagine sitting on your patio or deck and not being worried about what the neighbors may think or say.  Imagine sitting with your steaming cup of coffee, a good book and not losing precious time changing out of your sleepwear.  Imagine the comfort of being able to grab the paper and make the kids breakfast while sipping on a cup of steaming tea after sleeping those extra minutes you lost before because you changed out of your pajamas when all you really wanted to do was get out of bed and head downstairs (and give a finger to that nosey neighbor).  Imagine walking your dog after rolling out of bed.  Well today is the day to stop picturing it and instead making it a reality.  Today is the day to let all those preconceived notions and fears go, forget the whispering ninnies and as a substitute invest in some pampering and spoiling because our moments of downtime, “me” time, should be cherished and not wasted or lost.

Uplifting nightie was designed to give women the same look and support they get all day from their bras; in the comfort of their pajamas without anyone necessarily knowing they are pajamas.  Of course, once the secret gets out – it will be better than any fad of the last three decades.

The sleepwear is devoted to serving the needs of the well-endowed, or anyone who wants to look and feel amazing in sleepwear.  I am able to attest that the nighties are for all women no matter shape or size.  Out of four sisters, I am the shortest and smallest, and look forward to sharing this discovery and quieting their frequent and abundant complaints about sleepwear and the nosey obnoxious neighbor.  I love my “Slip-Out” and am excited for what this company promises to offer in the future.

Each nightie is composed of 94% modal and 6% spandex.  Known for its softness and comfort, Modal is a renewable resource made from the cellulose of beech trees, and is completely biodegradable.  Every design is not only uber-comfortable and sexy, but includes a fully-lined shelf bra with adjustable straps giving the appearance of wearing a bra without the discomfort.

Each nightie is available in sizes XS to XL and is priced at $95.00 with free return shipping.  Trust me this investment will reap rewards.  For more information on styles, colors and patterns visit www.UpliftingNighties.com.  The company is based in Maryland.  If ordering for Valentine’s Day – deadline is Friday, February 10, 2012.
