If there were ever a collaboration destined to make fashion history, it’s this one. Draped in Drama—Maria Molino’s highly anticipated costume and couture concept—has officially partnered with Sweetest Sin Boutique of Red Bank, New Jersey, a boutique celebrating its 16th anniversary of empowering women through confidence, comfort, and the perfect fit.

And if you know Maria Molino—the reigning Halloween Queen of New Jersey—you know this collaboration couldn’t be more fitting. Her new brand, Draped in Drama, celebrates the allure of transformation, the power of sensuality, and the magic of a well-constructed garment. When she decided to launch a collection of statement-making Halloween costumes and event attire, she turned to a boutique that understands the foundation of all beauty: the fit beneath the fashion.

Sweetest Sin Boutique has become a cornerstone of Red Bank’s fashion identity. For sixteen years, this women-run, bra-fitting boutique has specialized in the art of the perfect fit—helping women discover not only what looks beautiful, but what feels beautiful. From the moment you walk through their doors, you’re not treated like another size or statistic. You’re measured, guided, and celebrated for your individuality.
Unlike big-box lingerie chains that prioritize advertising over authenticity, Sweetest Sin’s ethos is rooted in craftsmanship and care. Their curated collections from around the world—including exquisite pieces from France’s Empreinte—are chosen for their structure, size inclusivity, and style diversity. They offer sizes up to a K cup and a 46 band, a feat almost unheard of among major retailers. As owner Angela Courtney explains, “You and your bestie could be the same size on paper, but that doesn’t mean the same style works for both of you. No two bodies are alike, and no two breasts are alike. That’s why we specialize in you.”
It’s this meticulous attention to fit and form that caught Maria Molino’s eye when conceptualizing her first Draped in Drama release. “For this year, I decided to collab with Angela from Sweetest Sin in RB,” Maria shares. “Using lingerie bodysuits from the boutique and creating accessory boxes to turn lingerie into fun, sexy Halloween costumes. There are two: The Mysterious Bunny and The Sexy Red Devil. The boxes sell for $50 and include three accessories and a pair of nude fishnets.”

The debut Draped in Drama x Sweetest Sin pieces are equal parts seductive and sophisticated—demurely daring designs that can transition from Halloween to boudoir with ease. Each ensemble embodies Maria’s signature aesthetic: luxurious, bold, and fashion-forward, designed for women who want to feel empowered while expressing their individuality.
What makes this collaboration particularly exciting is that it bridges two worlds: couture costuming and body-positive lingerie. Maria brings her theatrical flair and fashion mastery, while Angela and her Sweetest Sin team ensure every piece supports, flatters, and celebrates the wearer’s form. Together, they’ve created costumes that don’t just look stunning—they fit like a dream.
Sweetest Sin’s legacy in Red Bank is one of empowerment, education, and evolution. Over the years, the boutique has even become a trusted post-surgery destination, with top breast augmentation surgeons referring clients there to ensure proper fit and long-term support. It’s that deep understanding of women’s bodies—and the confidence that comes from being properly fitted—that makes Sweetest Sin the ultimate partner for Draped in Drama.
This collaboration feels like the beginning of a beautiful new era for both brands. Maria Molino’s passion for high-fashion storytelling and Sweetest Sin’s dedication to body-conscious design have merged to create something rare—costumes that are not only transformative but timeless.
So whether you’re slipping into The Mysterious Bunny, igniting the night as The Sexy Red Devil, or simply seeking lingerie that finally fits the way it should, consider this your sign. The reign of Draped in Drama has begun—and with Sweetest Sin by its side, the fit, the fantasy, and the fashion have never looked—or felt—better.
