Madonnari Festival

In celebration of Glen Ellyn's Madonnari Festival, we have our own sidewalk chalk art outside of Knickers! The amazing and talented artist Dana Gross created our logo and a little saucy bra and panty to dress up our store.

We hope you can stop by and see it!

And, for Saturday only, "draw" for your discount and save 10% to 25% on your entire purchase!

Don't forget to check out the schedule for this weekend's Madonnari Festival activities including headlining band the Lovehammers!

And, many of our fabulous restaurants are having special offers and music tonight! It's a fun weekend in Glen Ellyn!

We were expecting....and now you've delivered!

We have to admit that we've been quietly anticipating something. Of course we're always discrete about what happens at Knickers. But we can share with you, in the last year we've seen a trend. Our customers have talked about staying in, having dinners at home, foregoing vacation travel, reconnecting. In addition, we've seen our intimate lingerie sales increase.

So we've been expecting a little recession induced baby boom. And, as a result, we've added to our selection of nursing bras.

Just as we predicted, there's been quite the demand. We've had lots of phone calls asking for nursing bras. In keeping with our reputation for offering a fuller size selection, our newest nursing bra is sized 32 to 38, C to H cups. It's a smooth jacquard under wire bra, with an easy clasp for releasing the cup. It's feminine, supportive and functional.

Need to be fitted for a nursing bra? We're happy to help you any time. Fittings are always complimentary and we're open every day.

And, we'd like to add a warm welcome to all those new babies!

Sidewalk Sale!

It's Sidewalk Sale in Glen Ellyn, and Knickers has lots of bargains in sleepwear, bras, panties, camis, bath luxuries, gifts and so much more, at 50% to 70% off!

The Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce and the Sidewalk Sale committee, headed by Danny at Tap House Grill, has created a fun day of shopping with live music, great food and umbrella tables and chairs to sit and relax in the shade.

We hope you can join us as we continue the sale over the weekend. Friday 9 to 8 pm and Saturday 9 to 5 pm.

With my Mom!

New Freya Bras!

Are you a Freya gal?

If you are you'll love Jolie, a new plunge balcony bra in a soft French lace. It's the shaping that we love about Jolie. For anyone who wore Freya's discontinued Millie style it's very similar. We're carrying this bra in raspberry in sizes 30-36, DD to G cups. And, as always, we're happy to special order other sizes or colors (it also comes in white and black as well).

We love Freya's coordinating panties. They're as comfortable as they are flirty. Jolie is available in a thong and girl-short...so so pretty!

Not yet sure if you're a Freya gal? Stop in and try on Jolie and find out!

A gift for you from Wacoal Sport!

We love the new Wacoal Sport bra!

Finally there's a supportive fitness bra, made of a wicking fabric, that offers support AND separation. Available in 32 to 40. C to DDD cup.

With your purchase of the new Wacoal Sport bra you'll receive a complimentary pink sport water bottle (while they last) Fun!

Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn 2009

What an amazing night for Jazz Fest!

Glen Ellyn welcomed jazz lovers from all over the Chicago land area on Saturday night for an evening of sultry music, wine/beer, delicious food from Tap House, all in a downtown landscaped street setting....and right outside Knickers!

Thanks to those who came out for this fine festival. And a special thank you to all those who volunteered their time to bring us such a wonderful event to show off our beautiful downtown!

Meet Our "Sister Store"

Did you know there's another Knickers?

Knickers of Hyde Park is Cincinnati's premiere bra fit specialist and intimate apparel haven! And, they're our "sister store"!

Jenny Schneider started Knickers of Hyde Park 10 years ago. We met when we both worked for Knickers of Glen Ellyn. We became fast friends and dreamed of one day having our own little lingerie boutiques.

Although we're separate stores, we shop together for merchandise and transfer items back and forth to accommodate our customer's needs.

There are several people who have been in both stores. I love when someone walks in and asks if Knickers is a "chain store". I immediately know they've been to Cincinnati and to Knickers of Hyde Park!

I visited this past week and had the best time with Jenny, her family, and the Knickers girls. It's such a beautiful store. She inspires me every day!

If you're ever in the Cincinnati area I hope you'll make time to visit Knickers of Hyde Park and say hello to this very special girlfriend!
