When people find out what I do, they have one question: “Where can I buy bras?” People ask this independent of venue, appropriateness, timing or awkwardness. I’ve had my mother’s friends ask me where to find sexy lingerie while sitting on my childhood sofa and had others talk to me about nipple coverage in elegant…
Earlier this week, a group of us decided to get out of the city for a day and do some historical house touring. We’re getting into the part of the summer here that is incredibly hot—most days are 95 and above with full humidity. One of my friends is new to the city and showed…
When I was little, my grandmother used to remind me to wear nice underwear in case there was an emergency, and someone else saw it. While I’ve never had firemen or an EMT inspect my underwear, her advice did come to mind a few weeks ago. I awkwardly met one of my new neighbors wearing…
It’s no secret that I love novelty prints. I buy tons of crazy novelty print panties and collect vintage novelty print dresses. Novelty prints are way less difficult to incorporate into everyday life than you think. But I get that not everyone is ready for a full dress featuring Venetian gondolas (yes, I own two)….
The first time I ever went to Curve (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I remember a huge emphasis on sexy shapewear. Every brand seemed to be trying to transform shapewear into something fashionable and desirable, rather than some beige piece making you feel like an overstuffed sausage. While that movement appears to have gone…
Bodysuits are trendy, simple to wear and easy to find—unless you’re full busted or full figured. Like rompers, bodysuits seem like a great wardrobe solution but can turn into a nightmare if you can’t find the right one. Frequently regular bodysuits are too short and uncomfortable if your breasts take up more space than allotted,…
While parts of the country still have cold snaps, we’ve hit full summer here in the South. It’s the sleepiest time of the year, even in a permanently tourist filled city like New Orleans. Temperatures and humidity creep up until it feels like a sauna outside, with the only relief being the near daily rainstorms…
Warmer weather is here, which means it’s time for swimsuits! While full-bust swimsuits always lag behind the full-bust lingerie world in terms of unique design options, it’s exciting to see how far things have come. There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re looking for a fun holiday suit, a genuinely supportive lap swimming option or…
I spend a lot of time writing about what the lingerie industry isn’t doing, but I found myself reflecting as I wrote this article on how difficult it would have been to put together this list even three years ago. Plus size progress seems to move at a glacial pace, so finding these little signs…
While I still think wireless bralettes are a big marketing trick that isn’t particularly body positive, you may be surprised to know that I’ve purchased a bunch in the last six months or so. Part of it was out of necessity. I got tendonitis and bursitis in one shoulder that took months to resolve, so wearing…
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.
