Fashion websites have been falling all over themselves to celebrate the latest advertising trend: women over 50, 60, and even 80, fronting for brands in the fashion world. Joni Mitchell, Joan Didion, and now Twiggy, are the current hot senior commodities selling stylish designer products. I love to see older women celebrated and honored in this way. Now in my late…
The plus size, small bust bra market has been very slow to grow. With all of the excited talk about lingerie brands extending their band sizing, smaller cups haven’t received much attention. While these companies may offer larger band sizes, most of their cup sizes start at D or higher. This is no surprise as…
Sometimes boobs need a little boost. It’s about fashion and personal preference. You may have a plunging summer top or sexy swimsuit in need of cleavage, or a special occasion dress that could use some lift. It’s not a matter of simply adding inches. I needed to prop up my breasts after multiple pregnancies left them with less volume….

I’m always astonished at the depth and breadth…
Back fat is a big problem, or so it seems. It’s generated a whole new search category: the back smoothing bra. Online bra retailers list anywhere from 50 to 200 different bras under this one heading. But do any of them work? What is “back fat?” It seems a bit subjective, since what looks like back fat to you may not…
I’ve always loved the look of flirty babydolls, but had no clue about the origin of the classic lingerie style until I wrote this post. The name is linked to the 1956 film, Baby Doll, directed by Elia Kazan. It’s based on the Tennessee Williams story of two feuding gin owners living in the deep South. Carroll Baker plays…
In any business there are some who are better at their job than others. But how do you know you’ve put your boobs in the right hands (or tape measurer) when it comes to proper bra fit? Given all the different styles and brands on the market, it’s hard to know who to trust. You could turn…
I’ll admit it. I’m not a huge fan of shapewear. It has more to do with my fantasy that I could get the same results if I just spent more time at the gym. Shapewear has saved my fashion life more than once. After the birth of my children, control top pantyhose was my new best…
