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…
What’s so special about French lingerie brand Simone Pérèle? Maybe it’s the approach they take to their design and manufacturing. Simone Pérèle believes there are certain rules women should follow when it comes to lingerie. It’s not those finger-wagging guidelines about how to find the right size or fit, either. They believe the secret to…
I have to apologize in advance for this rant. But I’m angry about some breast news stories reported as factual, or even useful. Chalk it up to my more mature age and a growing impatience with irrelevant information taking up my precious time. I don’t have the energy to comment on the same stories that go…
White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…
It’s getting close to the New Year and time for my annual roundup of the breast stories of 2015. This year my list includes something different. Instead of offering up the most unusual news events in lingerie, lactation, and breast health, I’ve added some predictions of my own. Do I have psychic abilities? Only time…
Sometimes you meet someone, and you can’t imagine how your lives will intersect and reconnect over time. Mary Coss is one such person. Back in 1998, I was assigned as Mary’s roommate on my son’s middle school band trip. We became friends and chaperone buddies. I knew she was an artist, teacher, and travelled the…
I’m a long time bra wearer, so my bra habits are pretty ingrained. Over the years, I’ve shifted my bra buying and wearing routines. I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for and greater love of lingerie. It’s not just because I’ve grown older or wiser (since the first may be true, but the latter is debatable)….
If you follow me on social media, you might have seen a recent post about a stand-up comedy show I did at The Comedy Store. Maybe you thought to yourself: Huh? Why am I tackling stand-up? I’m not sure either, but maybe I’ll have an answer by the end of this post. Like everything else, it’s…
Think starting up a new lingerie brand is only for energetic young fashion graduates? Think again. Layneau founder, Kaaren Bedi, launched her luxury lingerie brand after a successful career in another industry. I first met her when she showed her initial collection in New York. I could relate to her mid-life professional path switch since…
Can we take a break from all the bra hate? I love bras. I love what they do for my body, clothes, and state of mind. But not one day goes by when I don’t read some random article on the horrors of bra wear. The basic premise of these pieces is that “we all…
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.
