I felt the lump; my doctors did not. Neither my gynecologist nor my radiologist. I had a sonogram; it showed nothing. Meanwhile, I was walking around with a lump the size of an orange and could barely breathe. I knew they were wrong. My husband sang the familiar tune of, you always have to be…
It’s that time of the year when we start reintroducing hosiery into your daily wardrobe. But if you love pretty lingerie, why cover half of it with pantyhose? Hold-ups (worn alone) and stockings (worn with a garter belt) are your other options. And I prefer the peace of mind of a garter belt. I know…
One of the most difficult challenges for any bra fitter is helping a bride find the right foundation to wear under her wedding dress. Especially if she chooses a gown that is low-cut or backless, and she has heavy or less full breasts. After all, it’s important to feel confident on your big day, and you can’t…
One of the occupational hazards of working in the lingerie industry is that you see everything early. For most of us, we see “new” pieces almost a year ahead of time: this can make it tough to get excited about them when they arrive in stores. One of the great parts of this autumn batch…
I used to walk to work. It was a lovely way to start the day. My ass and my fit-bit were quite happy with me. The only drawback was on sweltering days—it was well, less than ideal. Especially for my business casual wardrobe: a sensible semi-sheer lavender blouse, tucked into a black pencil skirt with…
How would you describe modern shapewear? Uncomfortable? Useful? Here’s my word: bor-ing! There, I said it. I despise modern shapewear. Not the fact that it exists. I do get why many people want to wear it. If it makes your outfit fit better or gives you a boost of confidence, good for you. I’m all…
The word “empowering” is often overused when it comes to lingerie fashions. But in the case of God Save Queens, I think it might be right on target. It somehow combines the frilly aspects of beautiful laces with practical design, all in a sophisticated package. If you’re not familiar with this new indie brand, you’ll…
I don’t know about you, but I find myself drawn to different colors depending on the season. When the sun is shining, I reach for lingerie that’s equally bright and vibrant. But when the colder months roll around, I want rich, deep, cozy-feeling tones. The start of a new season is the perfect time to…
We both saw them and audibly gasped with young, unbridled lust. My best friend and confidante in all things girly, Peaches, and I were at our neighborhood Newberry’s. We ran up to the display, and each grabbed one. What was the object of our affection as 11-year-olds? What got us squealing with delight? Training bras….
Strappy harness bras, like pumpkin spice lattes, are everywhere right now. While I’m not a year-round fan of them, I do tend to rediscover my small collection of strappy bras once the weather gets a little cooler. They make great layering pieces during transitional weather and can change the look of a basic dress or…
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.
