I’m thrilled to welcome Holly Jackson as a regular contributor to The Breast Life. You’ve likely read her short bio and seen several of her posts here. What you might not know is that Holly Jackson also runs a copywriting business and writes both a full figured lingerie and vintage fashion blog. I asked Holly to tell […]

We’ve all read the articles. Even worse, we’ve all heard the well-intentioned comments by friends, family members, and total strangers: “Are you sure you want to wear that?” When I was younger, there seemed to be a central set of fashion rules that everyone with “good” taste followed. What I didn’t realize until I got […]

Today I’ve put together a list of the top 12 TBL blog posts of the year. Given that we made a few changes in The Breast Life, it seems appropriate to look back on what our readers found helpful and useful. And if you haven’t read the blog in a while, it’s a great way to catch […]

What’s up with The Breast Life? We’ve got a new look, along with a more succinct tagline. Why the change? Like everything else, The Breast Life continues to evolve.

“I get a lot of strange questions from people about lingerie in my off-hours and I answer most of them by recommending The Bra Zone. This is the perfect judgment-free introduction to buying lingerie in any size range. I especially love how Elisabeth talks about finding your size range rather than one particular size! Lingerie […]

The number of blogs featuring lingerie and bra reviews has multiplied over the past few years. They’re all different, too. Some post simple phone selfies while others stage intricate professional photo shoots. They can be found on individual or lingerie retailer websites, and on Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram. They’re all over the place. So why should […]

Ever felt awkward in a department store changing room as a dress slid over your hips and then got stuck on your chest? Sick of buying belts in every color combination to cinch a too-big dress that only fits your boobs? Tired of a trying on clothes where the waist seam cuts your chest in […]
