Soma Intimates to Open at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch Bra Fit Stylists to Arrive in Katy, TX.

Soma Intimates is pleased to announce the upcoming grand opening of a new boutique at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch. Located at 23501 Cinco Ranch Blvd., Soma Intimates will open on July 23, 2012, offering luxurious and sensual lingerie, loungewear, sleepwear and beauty.

Each and every garment that Soma creates is distinguished by the “Soma Kiss” and the “Soma Touch” – thoughtful design details, a supremely soft feel and a superior fit that’s stylish, comfortable and gorgeous. Soma offers warm, personal service and each associate is highly‐trained to provide individual fittings and recommendations on what works best for every body type.

Some highlights of the Soma Intimates boutique include:

• Fit for Every Body – With more than 50 bra styles ranging in sizes from 32A – 42DDD in most Frontline and Outlet Stores, Soma Intimates offers a wide variety of fits and styles. Soma’s bras make her feel just as gorgeous as she looks.
• The Original Vanishing Edge® Panty and Shapewear Collection – A collection with a revolutionary design that makes panty lines vanish and prevents undergarments from riding up or shifting. Simply put, the numbers speak for themselves; more than 3 million Vanishing Edge® panties have been sold nationwide to date!
• Vanishing Back® Bras – Now you see it, now they don’t! These bras feature a unique design with a powerful, seamless back that eliminates lumps and bumps and gives a completely smooth silhouette. The Vanishing Back® collection offers two bra styles – a front‐close and a back‐close – with a variety of gorgeous fashion colors and prints.
• Oh My Gorgeous™ Sleepwear – Soma Intimates also specializes in luxurious sleepwear including Soma’s exclusive “Cool Nights Collection”, a naturally soft, moisture‐absorbent rayon derived from bamboo that keeps women cool and supremely comfortable while they sleep.
• Oh My Gorgeous™ Fine Fragrance Collection– The latest from Soma Intimates, “Oh My Gorgeous™” is a collection of fine fragrances, body lotions, soufflés, and more. Featuring three distinct scents – vibrant, embraceable, and passionate – this collection allows women to wardrobe their fragrances just as they would create a lingerie wardrobe.

In addition, Soma knows a kind heart. Its semi‐annual bra drive supports local women’s shelters across the county and to date, Soma has collected over 250,000 bras to help women in need. Soma Intimates currently operates more than 185 frontline boutiques and outlets combined nationwide, and at Soma.com.
