One area of the lingerie industry that doesn’t get talked about much is bra wear after implants. Last year in the US alone, over 300,000 people had cosmetic breast augmentation surgery. That’s not even counting reconstructions. Breast implants come with a unique set of bra-fit issues. Not just immediately post-surgery, but once they’ve healed too….
Summer is here, and cami tops, halter dresses, and spaghetti straps are coming out in full force. Which raises the question, what bra style to wear with them? Strapless bras will stay hidden best, but many people find them insufficiently supportive. Racerback and T-back bras, on the other hand, are known for often boosting support….
The hunt for the perfect bra can be a difficult one. You not only need to find the right size, but you also need the right style for your particular breast shape. Tall and molded cups work better on fuller breasts, for example. Front fastenings work best on those with wide-set breasts. But there’s one…
One area of the industry that gets very little press is post-surgery lingerie. And yet there is some exciting and innovating stuff going on here. And one such brand to take note of is Embody Paris. Embody Paris describes itself as “a fresh look at post-surgery lingerie.” In a sector known for its bland, utilitarian…
If you don’t know what a bed jacket is, it’s a sort of extra-short robe. Sometimes they’re cropped right to just below the bust. And if you do know what one is, then you’re probably picturing one of two things. A glamorous Old Hollywood starlet perhaps. Or just that quilted, frumpy-looking thing your grandma wore….
Half slips were once a staple undergarment. But today, most people don’t wear them, and most lingerie brands don’t even make them. It’s a shame because they are fantastic for so many reasons! Even if you don’t care about wearing beautiful lingerie, half slips can make your outerwear look better. As the article title suggests,…
Mastectomy bras are a topic that has been covered a few times on The Breast Life. It’s a niche but (finally) growing area of the lingerie market. Even luxury brands are beginning to realize that not all women have two full breasts. Mastectomy swimwear, however, still lags behind. It’s not that it’s hard to find;…
I have a beach-filled trip coming up soon, so my thoughts have turned to swimwear. Usually, I’m not bothered about whether my swim looks are in fashion or not. But I am loving the trends this year! Some of last year’s swimwear trends are still going strong. However, there are plenty of new ones to…
Festival season is kicking off, with Coachella only weeks away. And although we’re going for the music, getting dressed up is half the fun. As many eyes are checking out outfits as there are looking towards the stage! Lingerie-as-outerwear continues to be a major trend. And it’s especially perfect for these (hopefully) sunny outdoor events….
First, it was decorative backs and high necklines; now it’s longer bands. Brands are pushing the boundaries of bra design by experimenting with different ways to add more fabric. After all, the bigger the canvas, the more space you have to get creative. Longline bras are not a new invention, but they are a growing…
