    ByEstelle January 23, 2020 9:16 am

    Do you ever have days where you’d rather not wear a bra? If you’re also not keen on going braless, there is a compromise. A camisole with a built-in bra! This two-in-one garment gets top marks for simplicity and speedy dressing. You can even wear one in place of a sports bra plus tank top…

    11 Ways Bra Design and Construction Change at DD+

    ByEstelle January 2, 2020 8:50 am

    Have you ever bought a bra online and received one that didn’t look exactly like the picture? It’s most likely to happen if you are full-busted. A DD is around the point where breasts become heavy enough to require additional support features. The same bra design that works for an A to D won’t fit…

    The Best Winter Loungewear on Etsy

    Winters are perfect for comfort dressing. When temperatures drop, is there anything sweeter than curling up in clothing that feels like a wearable blanket? If you’re anything like me, you’ll reach for those soft and snuggly pieces practically every day, or at least every weekend. It’s what makes good loungewear well worth the investment! If…

    What Does Japanese Lingerie Look and Fit Like?

    ByEstelle December 12, 2019 8:40 am

    Along with French lingerie, Japanese lingerie has one of the most distinctive aesthetics in the industry. And there’s a lot of crossover between the two. Both countries prefer more decorative lingerie over the plain stuff. They both love to use lace and embroidery. However, in France, these fabrics tend towards the fine and delicate. While…

    An Intro to the French Lingerie Aesthetic

    ByEstelle December 3, 2019 8:42 am

    I’ve been learning about lingerie for well over a decade now. One of the fascinating parts of that has been discovering how styles differ between countries. What’s popular in one place isn’t necessarily the norm elsewhere. Certain countries have a particularly distinctive lingerie aesthetic. Not surprisingly, France is one of them. And not just because…

    Cozy PJ Sets to Gift This Holiday Season

    ByEstelle November 14, 2019 9:02 am

    There’s a reason pajamas are such a popular holiday gift. They’re the kind of thing you can give to anyone, be they romantic partners, family members, and friends. And of all ages too! PJ sets are practical, not overly personal (unlike, say, a lingerie set), and can still be ultra-chic. Plus, the loose fit of…

    Small Band Bras: Where to Find 22, 24, 26, & 28 Sizes

    ByEstelle October 22, 2019 8:27 am

    Growing up, I thought 32 was the smallest band size because I never saw anything smaller. At least outside of the ‘teen bra’ department, there were zero small band bras. However, thanks to pressure from customers, brands are expanding their size ranges upwards and downwards. I wear a 30 band, and I no longer struggle…
