The word “badass,” as a descriptor, is popping up quite a bit these days, both in my personal and professional life. Back in May, my daughter gave me this Mother’s Day card: It ranks as the best card ever (except maybe those early hand-made ones covered in dyed, dried up pasta). Badassery also came up…
Where are all the hot older women in lingerie advertising? There are a few, but they are a rare find in a field of hard young bodies. When you age, you also get soft in some places—even if, like me, you work out with weights three times a week. And while “hot” may not be used…
It’s not often I run across an intimate apparel brand that offers more than great fit and fashion. When I first laid eyes—and fingers—on Lusomé at a lingerie trade show, it was evident it was created to meet a particular need. It’s made with an advanced moisture-wicking technology that accelerates evaporation and eliminates odor and…
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…
Many people prefer to wear front closing bras, and now there are plenty of options in this bra category. Summer tops and dresses often require me to switch to racerback front-close styles. But front-fastening bras feature traditional strap placements, too. And women who suffer from shoulder or arm mobility issues prefer to wear them year-round. Putting…
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,…
The latest lingerie trend to hit stores takes bras in the opposite direction of those worn to show off a plunging neckline. It’s the rise (yikes) of high neck bras and bralettes. It could be these high or halter necks are just an extension of the bralette trend. Like many unstructured foundations, they won’t work…
It’s been a couple of years since we highlighted small cup large band bras. And I wondered if there’s anything new to report. After a quick search of the leading lingerie retailers, I didn’t find many new brands targeting this market. At least not like those going after smaller band/full bust cups. But, thankfully, there is now…
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…
One claim often made by emerging intimate apparel brands is the need to “reinvent bras.” For example, here’s a recent quote from a Kickstarter campaign for an ingenious strapless bra: Despite the many technological, engineering and manufacturing developments made during the past century – consider, for example, the development of walking boots, rain jackets or even…
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.
