What is Rago?

Shapewear for $500, please.

The 80 year old USA Shapewear company that has been making the most size inclusive underwear for decades… that hasn’t changed their pointy bra shape in 80 years.

Yesterday I gave you the most typical costume shop answer to “How to spend $500 on underwear for 4 actors?” Choose a brand like Cuup that has a very large range of sizes, a moderate range of colors, for medium money.

….deep down….I hated that answer.

1. The mail-order shopping game turns master stitcher/crafter/draper/tailors into mail department bureaucrats.

2. Theaters were not built to receive boxes of boxes of bags with bags with tags and items and more items to track, repack and ship back to their point of origin.

3. You spend as much in shipping and returns as you spend on the item.

There is a simple, beautiful, $500 costume shop bit of wisdom that is way way way better. I am sharing it below under a pay wall, because:

1. I already told you the answer for free above.

2. I am going to use every subscription $ from this post to send some Rago undies to small theater-in-need (of undergarments).

3. I am in full support (in all of the ways) of maintaining the illusion that boobs are born looking like bullets!

   

If you would like to think Ms. Gardner achieved that angular in and out with only the assistance of an appetite suppressing cigarette; Read No Further!
