The Velvet Queen Story

As a global woman, born in the UK, moved to Nigeria with my parents and now residing in the States, I have always loved fashion and cared about my image. I lived life to the fullest, had fun, traveled and was finally ready to settle down. After being married for 19 years and two children later, I began to struggle somewhat with who I was. I started to ask myself what was next? surely there had to be more to my life than being married, raising children and simply clocking in and out of a job year in and year out! My style has always been sophisticated and clean, however, throughout different stages of my life, I became conscious about my body changing. I began to adorn and incorporate shapewear more and more into my wardrobe.

You see, with my first child, I had a C-Section and nothing I did or could do ever seemed to help me smooth out that lower belly pooch. Being a woman with a high sense of fashion, walking around with a visible pooch was simply not acceptable. The problem I found was that shapewear on the market was either black, white or nude and made me feel like I was suiting up for battle every time I wore them, which was not a sexy feeling at all, and nothing I wanted my husband to see me in. I didn't feel myself, colorful, sexy or empowered when I wore them, but had no choice with the lack of options. The birth of a dream happened while I was preparing for a milestone celebration for my husband. I had just recently been laid off from my corporate job of many years. I was yet again considering the now what? scenario and in my musings, I told my husband that I was going to write to some of the major lingerie carriers and ask them to consider adding some style, color and pizzazz to the shapewear they designed. Most women that I know are colorful, love warm, beautiful and sexy clothing, that positions them for success. Most especially, they love feeling and looking like a lady. My husband's response changed the game by saying why don't you design the shapewear?. Hmmm, I sat with that thought for a moment, the light-bulb went on in my head and Velvet Queen Shapewear was born!
