Every once in a while, the lingerie industry takes me by surprise. That was the case with my introduction to EVA Dessous. To be honest, I had no idea that they carried swimwear, much less sporty and casual loungewear styles. It wasn’t until they gifted me a set of lingerie that I got to take…
If you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love Yellowberry’s tween and teen bras. The brand started out as the dream of then 19-year-old Megan Grassell. She wanted to buy her younger sister more age-appropriate bra styles. I’m not sure about you, but I can’t imagine taking on such a project at her age….
Our recent post about trends in lingerie made a quick mention of Pantone’s color of the year: ultra-violet. That’s right; the Pantone people pick a new fashion color every year. Maybe it’s just to get us add it to our wardrobes (it is their job, after all). But colors do carry meaning and energy. According to their…
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than with a list of women-run brands from our Better Know a Brand blog series. Reading about these accomplished individuals inspires me to continue working on fulfilling my goals and dreams. The women below hail from all parts of the world and work in…
I’ve introduced readers to quite a few indie UK luxury lingerie brands in the past couple of years. Luxury lingerie is much like fine art; brands may use quality silks, laces, and other materials, but each designer has a unique signature and style. That is the case with Emma Harris Lingerie, whose motto is “lingerie…
It’s been awhile since I wrote a blog on great sports bras for big boobs. If you wear anything over a D cup in any band size, you know how critical bust support is when exercising. It’s a struggle I’ve had my entire life. But thankfully, there are plenty of great sports bras on the…
If you’re thinking it’s time to shop for new and unique everyday bras; you’ll want to get to know UK indie brand, Dora Larsen lingerie. There’s nothing quite like it on the market today. Dora Larsen’s use of color, mesh, and lace is both modern and refreshing, but at the same time, flirty and feminine. These…
The Dessous London tradeshow just wrapped up their second successful intimate apparel show last week, with some of the most exciting lingerie and loungewear on display. Dessous London is a smaller, more intimate UK show that introduces buyers to both established and up-and-coming premium lingerie brands. And this year’s lineup was exceptional. There were 24 brands…
I’ve been trying to figure out how to wed my stand-up comedy and storytelling with the mission of The Breast Life. Why should these two passions stay separate? But talking about boobs and bras on stage—although it does have its humorous side–doesn’t do it for me. But then I remembered my original inspiration for writing…
The week between Christmas and New Year is my favorite time of year. It’s the perfect time to get ready for 2018 by throwing or giving away what no longer serves me. While that may include bad habits, it also applies to some much-loved lingerie. Maybe you’re like me, and hang on too long to some…
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.
