We’re approaching Valentine’s Day, the holiday where everyone starts thinking about how in the world they can get away with buying lingerie as a gift. Lingerie gifts can be fraught with peril—most involve sizing, styling and figuring out how a chemise and a babydoll can be different when they both look the same. This stuff…
Part of what fascinates me in writing about lingerie is why people buy the things they do. Why did velvet just take off this past season? Why has the strappy bra trend refused to die? Can we ever escape the all-encompassing reign of black mesh lingerie? Is what we buy dictated by lingerie trends? Whether…
I moved into my dream apartment this past June, except it had one problem: there are no built-in closets. I knew I would have to cut down on my lingerie and clothing collections, but it surprised me how much I felt I could live without when I started analyzing it all. All of this is…
As holidays go, Christmas has to be my favorite. I love it all: the music, the sparkly decorations and the excuse to dress up in dramatic or kitschy outfits. I am the crazy lady who puts up her Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving afternoon and starts stashing advent calendars in October. The holidays are an excellent…
Lingerie gifts are one of my favorite things, and the Holidays often bring out the best in brands and designers as well. The best part is that now there are tons of great options for those of us who are full-busted and full-figured, so we’re not stuck on the sidelines pining for things that will…
Every holiday season, the topic of strapless bras comes up. There’s one truth that should be universally acknowledged: most strapless bras are terrible, relatively ineffective and genuinely uncomfortable. This problem is even worse if you’re full busted or full-figured. At best, most strapless bras are annoying and not great at providing lift. In the worst…
Velvet lingerie is always around when colder weather sets in, but the flavor of the trend can vary. Last year it was all ’90s inspired, which was not my thing. But I love the 1930s Devore velvet inspired pieces that are starting to pop up this year. To me, velvet always feels like the ultimate…
I realize in some ways that writing an article about coats for curves probably feels a bit hypocritical, considering it’s still 85 degrees where I live. If you’re not lucky enough to live somewhere warm though, you’re probably checking out all those lovely coats online. Temperatures have dropped on the east coast and lots of…
One of the secrets of spending your life writing about lingerie and clothing is that lots of the time, you’re just writing about stuff because it’s there. You write about things that you think your readers will want. Or because it’s new and notable, rather than picking things that get your hard-earned cash. So how…
While I was on the phone the other night with a friend, the most awkward aspect of my job came up: lingerie blogging. The friend in question is great, but she lives a state away now. Our friendship consists of long phone calls every other week to keep in touch. In our latest one, she…
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.
