I’ve wanted to write about Harlow & Fox ever since I wore it for my very first lingerie shoot. There can be no better way to lose your boudoir photo shoot virginity than wrapped up in luxurious silk pieces designed by Leanna Williams, creative director and founder of Harlow & Fox. I was apprehensive about uncovering all…
First bras for young girls can be difficult to find, fit, and buy. I’ve written on this subject before, but readers still ask: how do you decide which bra style is best? The idea behind the “training bra” was to get a girl used to wearing one. It can be a bit of a shock to…
I’ve got a big birthday coming up this weekend. I’m turning 60. It’s hard not to look back as one moves into a new decade. I’ve faced some significant life changes in the past ten years. When I celebrated my 50th year, I was married, living in a gated community in North Seattle, and managing…
If you love the glamour of Old Hollywood movies and wish that you could raid the closet of Ginger Rodgers, this column is for you. In today’s increasingly casual society, it can be hard to indulge a love of high drama fashion and lingerie. Luckily, brides can give in to their dramatic side as much…
What are post-surgical bras? They are specialty bra garments worn after mastectomies or reconstructive and elective cosmetic breast surgeries. Don’t expect to find many cute post-surgical bras around. They’re meant to be functional not fashionable. They keep the patient in mind, one who might have limited arm and chest mobility and often must accommodate drains attached…
You know it’s an official lingerie fashion trend when Victoria’s Secret gets in on the action. They’re making headlines by moving beyond padded cups and offering new bralette styles. But bralette styles aren’t really “new.” (They look more like one of the first modern bra prototypes.) It’s a style that has gone in and out of fashion,…
I know more about women’s breasts today than when I researched my first book in 2006. Much of what I wrote down as “fact” turned out to be fiction. I repeated statistics about bra wear and the average cup size that weren’t backed by rigorous study. The breast cancer prevention advice I believed turned out…
If you’re a curvy woman of a certain age, there’s one question you’ve probably learned to dread: “Will you be a bridesmaid?” There’s nothing like that unique combination of pure joy for your friend and complete certainty that you are likely to spend a day getting photographed in a dress that makes you look like…
Many lingerie brands make first bras for young girls, but Yellowberry takes a unique approach to designing and marketing their products. Megan Grassell started the company as a 17-year-old high school student. She’d been frustrated by the lack of first bra options available to her younger sister. So she decided to make a difference by…
I’ve written about lingerie for years, and this is still one of the most frequently asked questions that I get: why don’t brands make bras above a G Cup? In part, I think this question is common because it’s evident whenever you look at a site that carries lots of lingerie brands. There’s tons of…
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.
