My dress doesn’t call for much in the department of underthings. A simple pair of undies, and that’s about it. Even if it did, most supportive undergarments aren’t the most desirable in the bedroom, anyway.

A quick scan of Nordstrom’s lingerie department led my eye to one particular rack: Elle Macpherson Intimates. Sure, they aren’t full get-ups. They’re bras and undies adorned with lace, see-through mesh, and all things girly and frilly. To put it more simply, they’re plain old pretty.
