February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, and the theme for 2021 is Body Mind and Spirit. This makes it the perfect time to introduce my readers to an excellent and much-needed new UK lingerie brand. Launching later this year, Ms A London is specially designed and developed for Transgender women, Transfeminine, and Gender…
There’s a new decade ahead, and it’s tempting to track all my accomplishments over the past one. While it’s always good to look back on how far I’ve come, I’m more interested in what’s next. What’s going to push me out of my comfort zone and help me grow? With six decades behind me, I…
Do you know LIVELY lingerie? Launching in 2016, the brand is a new player in the industry. They’re different from most “direct to consumer” bra brands vying for a share of the intimate apparel market. You can choose to shop on their website or in one of their four brick and mortar stores. And you’ll…
What are bustiers and basques? The dictionary defines a bustier as a close-fitting strapless bra that you can wear as outerwear. According to the French, it’s merely a longline bra. A basque is longer, and often includes garters or suspenders. But the terms seem interchangeable. And both styles veer into “only for the boudoir” territory,…
What’s the difference between a balconette and demi-cup bra styles? That can be tough to figure out since both lingerie brands and retailers seem to supply contradictory information about their features. Some of their websites claim that the demi-cup exposes more of the breast than the balconette, and vice-versa. So it’s no wonder that the…

And fashion tastes make a difference. So the recommended best bra styles for one person may not be right for someone else. And then there’s the…
You may be surprised to learn that Baby Boomers are the second-largest group of bra buyers, after Millennials. And their share of this market is growing at a faster rate than all other generations. One wonders why there aren’t more women of a certain age (52 to 70) appearing in intimate apparel advertising or on…
We’re featuring Else Lingerie on the blog today because I recently visited their new flagship store, here in Los Angeles. They don’t just design bras and knickers; they offer a complete brand experience that reflects a timeless aesthetic, including home textiles and candles. I’m a big fan but never tried on any of their styles….
It’s been several years since I posted about Layneau, the luxury lingerie line founded by Kaaren Bedi. But the moment I saw the Layneau Millefeuille collection, I knew I had to share it with readers. And while many of us can’t afford some of these pieces, they are treasures to adore (and save up for)….
It’s been a few years since I put together a list of ways to recycle bras. Since that time, more brands and non-profits have begun to offer this service to consumers. And many of the retailers and charities that solicit gently worn bras also benefit women in need. If you haven’t read my first post,…
Until she wrote a book on the subject, Elisabeth Dale didn’t know much about her breasts. She created this site so that readers can find the best products, clothing and surgical options—anything and everything related to bras, breast health, and well-being.
