“Ma, why are you on Facebook in your underwear???” read the text from my youngest son. Good question. He’d seen a photo on my page from a shoot I’d done a few weeks back. The idea (Sweet Nothings brainchild) was to bring a group of lingerie bloggers and designers together to show that wearing lovely…
What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work. What do I mean? Athleisure styles continue to dominate…
It’s Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day and the perfect time to ask: who invented bras? Love them or hate them, most women (and even some men) won’t leave home without one. There’s no medical reason to wear them despite claims to the contrary. But bras do alleviate the aches and pains of carrying extra boob…
Ever wonder how new lingerie brands make it onto store shelves or hangers? Most meet potential retailers by exhibiting their lines at intimate apparel and clothing trade shows. It exposes them to hundreds of on-line and brick and mortar buyers that might never see or hear about their products. That’s why I attend Curvexpo Lingerie…
I’m thrilled to welcome Holly Jackson as a regular contributor to The Breast Life. You’ve likely read her short bio and seen several of her posts here. What you might not know is that Holly Jackson also runs a copywriting business and writes both a full figured lingerie and vintage fashion blog. I asked Holly to tell…
What’s so special about French lingerie brand Simone Pérèle? Maybe it’s the approach they take to their design and manufacturing. Simone Pérèle believes there are certain rules women should follow when it comes to lingerie. It’s not those finger-wagging guidelines about how to find the right size or fit, either. They believe the secret to…
I have to apologize in advance for this rant. But I’m angry about some breast news stories reported as factual, or even useful. Chalk it up to my more mature age and a growing impatience with irrelevant information taking up my precious time. I don’t have the energy to comment on the same stories that go…
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s plenty of lingerie romance in the air. But are you feeling the love for your bra wardrobe? Do you have a bra sitting in your top drawer that lets you down again and again, but you keep it around because it’s hard to let it go? Or maybe…
I’ve written a lot of posts here about where to find curve friendly clothing online, but what do you do if online shopping isn’t your thing? Today I’m handing out some tips to figure out whether a piece of clothing you’ve discovered is curve friendly or not, whether it’s in Bergdorf Goodman or a thrift…
White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…
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.
