Growing up, I thought 32 was the smallest band size because I never saw anything smaller. At least outside of the ‘teen bra’ department, there were zero small band bras. However, thanks to pressure from customers, brands are expanding their size ranges upwards and downwards. I wear a 30 band, and I no longer struggle…
Every holiday is an excellent occasion to dress up and play with lingerie. Halloween is no exception. Velvety bats, snake embroidery, intricate lace, and scary masks are showing up. Here is a non-exhaustive list of items that gave me a very witchy Halloween lingerie vibe and felt appropriate in this beautiful month of October. Black…
While I appreciate a great t-shirt bra as much as the next person, my true love is flashy and sparkly bras with real personality. Luckily with layering season coming up and lingerie-inspired fashion still trending, brands have also gotten on board. They’re producing a range of great options for full-busted and full-figured women. These full-bust…
Minimizer bras don’t get written about much. They’re not ‘cool.’ But they can be useful. Minimizers do precisely what the name suggests—they make your breasts look smaller. Why might you want to wear minimizer bras? Have you ever struggled to find shirts and button-through dresses that didn’t gape? A minimizer can fix that by flattening…
In the lingerie industry, bra sizing is broken down into categories. For example, ‘full bust’ sizing officially starts at a DD cup.

And fashion tastes make a difference. So the recommended best bra styles for one person may not be right for someone else. And then there’s the…
You may be surprised to learn that Baby Boomers are the second-largest group of bra buyers, after Millennials. And their share of this market is growing at a faster rate than all other generations. One wonders why there aren’t more women of a certain age (52 to 70) appearing in intimate apparel advertising or on…
The Summer edition of Curve NY is one I never miss. I honestly love the colorful and fun touch that brands often add to their Spring/Summer collections. A lot of lingerie labels only show their swimwear at this time of the year, but there is so much more to see. Today I’m walking you through…
Temperatures are finally dropping. But there’s still a little time left to flaunt some décolletage before we’re all wrapping up in scarves and polo necks. The best bra to wear with a V-shaped neckline is, of course, a plunge bra. This bra style has an unusually low center-front so that it won’t show under a…
When I started buying bras as a teenager finding a G cup bra was an expensive and frequently humiliating process. It was also the end of the alphabet, in a practical sense. A DD cup was considered huge, and a G cup was only available from brands tackling extended sizing. If you were a teenage…
