Trying on my new bodysuit from Love, Maddie made me lowkey emotional
If you’ve known me for a while, or if you’ve just come across this article, I am on my own journey of loving myself— especially, my skin, my body, and every little feature that I have. I also love fashion. And, I’ve been on the hunt for a lace bodysuit that would make me feel more comfortable and more confident about myself. And, of course, Love, Maddie has my back.
Inspired by the journey of becoming your best self, Love, Maddie stays true to your core of being unapologetic about your most authentic self. As someone who is currently on the journey of loving myself, I allow simple pieces of clothing to empower me. I dress up the way I want to; the way I feel like it. And, the comfort that clothing gives me ultimately makes me feel better about myself.
Trying on my new bodysuit from Love, Maddie made me lowkey emotional
Even as I filmed this reel or write this article, it made me weirdly emotional. It made me feel that way knowing that I tried on something so out of my comfort zone. I have always layered clothing, even with the climate of the tropical country that we live in. Layering makes me feel safe and for some reason, protected. It hides the insecurities that I’ve always tried to make myself love.
Despite preaching about self-love and all, there are still times when anxiety and hesitance cloud my judgment. Although I am comfortable and I am confident, it makes me think. How dare I post this kind of video on my social media? How dare I post when there are tons of people who can see and judge my body?
After the anxiety and hesitance, the rush of being able to wear this bodysuit and feeling like my actual self washed through me.
It was like seeing myself ~properly~ for the first time. It was weirdly emotional that I actually teared up after I finally took it off. If I wore something like that a few years ago, I would absolutely go ballistic and bawl my eyes out, yelling about how I hate how my body looked. But, my body had gotten me through tough times. And, I’m falling in love with my body more and more every single day.
Wearing this bodysuit from Love, Maddie exposed me— in a good way. It exposed my back which has a dark burn-patterned birthmark. It molded around my hip dips which I only started to appreciate. And, it exposed my thighs which had gotten bigger and thicker as I grew up and exercise more. It exposed a lot of things about my body that I didn’t think would become something that I would actually like.
Love, Maddie X Lily of the Valley
The process of wondering from Lily of the Valley is quite simple. All you need to do is go to your desired product and put in your measurements for your bust, band, waist, hips, shoulder to waist, and even your height. Then, add to cart and check out. After receiving your measurements, someone will actually call you to make sure you’ve put in the right ones.
Lily of the Valley promises to provide products that will take care of you— by taking care of you… if you get what I’m saying.
Their sizing doesn’t just go from small to medium to large. It’s more than that. And, as a mid-sized girlie who has always been on the hunt for the right size, that actually meant a lot. After giving them your measurements, it will take around three to four weeks to process and ship the order. They even have a step-by-step guide on their website just to make sure you get what you paid for.
Trying on my new bodysuit from the Love, Maddie collection from Lily of the Valley was weirdly emotional. And, it made me feel amazing— just the way I wanted to feel.
