    Date Night Lingerie for Hot Older Women

    Byelisabeth June 29, 2017 9:19 am

    Where are all the hot older women in lingerie advertising?  There are a few, but they are a rare find in a field of hard young bodies. When you age, you also get soft in some places—even if, like me, you work out with weights three times a week. And while “hot” may not be used…

    Lusomé Innovative Luxury Sleepwear Keeps You Cool and Dry

    Byelisabeth June 27, 2017 9:21 am

    It’s not often I run across an intimate apparel brand that offers more than great fit and fashion. When I first laid eyes—and fingers—on Lusomé at a lingerie trade show, it was evident it was created to meet a particular need. It’s made with an advanced moisture-wicking technology that accelerates evaporation and eliminates odor and…

    Front Closing Bras: Pretty and Practical Lingerie Solutions

    Byelisabeth June 20, 2017 8:51 am

    Many people prefer to wear front closing bras, and now there are plenty of options in this bra category.  Summer tops and dresses often require me to switch to racerback front-close styles. But front-fastening bras feature traditional strap placements, too. And women who suffer from shoulder or arm mobility issues prefer to wear them year-round. Putting…

    Lingerie Trend Alert: High Neck Bras and Bralettes

    Byelisabeth June 13, 2017 9:01 am

    The latest lingerie trend to hit stores takes bras in the opposite direction of those worn to show off a plunging neckline. It’s the rise (yikes) of high neck bras and bralettes. It could be these high or halter necks are just an extension of the bralette trend. Like many unstructured foundations, they won’t work…

    Small Cup Large Band Bras: Still an Underserved Market?

    Byelisabeth June 6, 2017 9:13 am

    It’s been a couple of years since we highlighted small cup large band bras. And I wondered if there’s anything new to report. After a quick search of the leading lingerie retailers, I didn’t find many new brands targeting this market. At least not like those going after smaller band/full bust cups. But, thankfully, there is now…

    Is it Necessary to Reinvent Bras?

    Byelisabeth May 25, 2017 7:55 am

     One claim often made by emerging intimate apparel brands is the need to “reinvent bras.”  For example, here’s a recent quote from a Kickstarter campaign for an ingenious strapless bra: Despite the many technological, engineering and manufacturing developments made during the past century – consider, for example, the development of walking boots, rain jackets or even…

    Warm Weather Packing Tips: Lingerie Edition

    Byelisabeth May 23, 2017 8:09 am

    Who needs packing tips? I could have used a few before I came down to sunny Cabo San Lucas this week. Half the fun of travel, for me, is putting together my vacation wardrobe. I’m in Mexico celebrating the birthday of my good friend and fellow lingerie professional, Ellen Lewis of The Lingerie Briefs. (If you…

    All Undone: Support and Sass for Full Bust Lingerie Lovers

    Byelisabeth May 16, 2017 8:46 am

    My recent post featuring beautiful small band, full bust bras left out one amazing UK brand: All Undone. Today, I’m rectifying that error by giving readers a closer look at their designer lingerie and the mission behind the company. Thankfully, there are far more options in the smaller band, bigger cup bra market. And All Undone presents…

    Byelisabeth May 11, 2017 9:14 am

    I’ve spent the majority of my life wearing bras. And the older I get, the more fascinating it is to reflect on this experience. The lingerie world may have changed over the decades, but so have I. This post on my life in bras is more about how bras have altered how I see myself. They have…

    Shock Absorber Sports Bra Review: Merging Fashion and Function

    Byelisabeth May 9, 2017 9:11 am

    Today’s post is a review of two Shock Absorber sports bra styles.  But this bra review is a bit different. It’s from two age groups: my 61-year-old self and 27-year-old daughter. Yep, it’s a mother/daughter bra review!! Obviously, we both have very different physical and fashion needs. And it was surprising to see how one…
