With three weeks to go until V-Day, lingerie brands everywhere are releasing their versions of Valentine’s lingerie. Designs range from styles that are merely red or pink, to pieces more obviously themed. If you’re not that big on Valentine’s Day, it can seem a bit much. But whether you celebrate the day or not, if you…
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…
It was winter break of my freshmen year of high school when my dad decided to reroute our annual Disney World trip. I think he felt he had sat in enough teacups and was ready for something different. After all, he had two kids in high school and thought it was time to try somewhere…
The Dessous London tradeshow just wrapped up their second successful intimate apparel show last week, with some of the most exciting lingerie and loungewear on display. Dessous London is a smaller, more intimate UK show that introduces buyers to both established and up-and-coming premium lingerie brands. And this year’s lineup was exceptional. There were 24 brands…
We’ve all heard of the lingerie as outerwear trend by now. With lavish lace and other intricate details typical of intimates, this stuff is just too pretty to keep hidden away! If you’re anything like me though, showing your lingerie to the world can feel a little daunting for the daytime. A party, on the…
Once upon a time, naked photos could end careers. “Compromising positions” were the stuff of blackmail. Up and coming performers knew better than to risk their integrity by allowing less-than-wholesome images of themselves to surface in public. So as a young, hopeful comedian in the 1980s, I believed my future would be over if anyone…
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…
Waspies don’t get written about much in the lingerie world. You may even be wondering what one is! A waspie is simply a name for a specific type of corset, an underbust one that’s particularly short. There’s no official definition, but generally speaking, a waspie corset is no more than 8” tall at the side…
When I was a child, I put a curse on my boobs. I was obsessed with breasts. I always wanted boobs. At the age of three, I would draw flat, one-dimensional, naked bodies of women and their boobies. You’d think I was trying to be Picasso or something though. For a girl obsessed with uniformity…
I’ve been trying to figure out how to wed my stand-up comedy and storytelling with the mission of The Breast Life. Why should these two passions stay separate? But talking about boobs and bras on stage—although it does have its humorous side–doesn’t do it for me. But then I remembered my original inspiration for writing…
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.
