I was introduced to Ysé Lingerie while writing a series for The Lingerie Journal about the small bust lingerie market. Ysé is focused on meeting the needs of an often over-looked and misunderstood segment of the lingerie market. Through my research and interviews, I discovered that small busters have a harder time finding fashionable, well-fitting…
How much should you spend on a bra? That’s a hard number to nail down, since bra prices seem to be all over the place. You can get a push-up molded cup at Walmart for under $10. Victoria’s Secret sells a similar style for $48. Buy from a luxury lingerie brand like LaPerla, and you…
I just returned from New Orleans with a ton of Mardi Gras beads. Did I have to flash my boobs to get them? You might think so. It’s common knowledge that women routinely show their boobs along Bourbon Street, in exchange for plastic Mardi Gras beads. Everyone knows Mardi Gras celebrates indulgent and bawdy behavior:…
The best part of my trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras wasn’t the music, parties, and crazy costumes, but stumbling upon the wonderful Trashy Diva Lingerie store. I’d heard about Trashy Diva, and knew their reputation for quality vintage and retro-inspired clothing. The Lingerie Addict suggested I pay Trashy Diva a visit when I…

One of my fashion-related boob problems has been finding a well-fitting, classic button front shirt. I love to wear them with jeans, skirts, or a nice pair of slacks. But for most of my on-and-off-again DD life, I’ve had to put up with buying a button front shirt that is either (a) too big in…
The cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue took me by surprise. It wasn’t the typical upper torso, tiny string bikini boob shot. Instead of the usual tits, the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue honored its 50th year with the nearly naked asses of three topless super models. The tagline beneath the picture hails…
Looking for the best brands to meet all of your breast fashion needs? You can head to a lingerie boutique or browse websites for the latest bra styles or other intimate apparel. If you’re a new mom, you might shop for pretty nursing bras, tops, or breastfeeding accessories at a maternity or baby supply store….
Its been nearly 10 years since my cosmetic breast lift surgery. I had been working out in the gym regularly. I lost weight and found I could tone and firm any part of my body—except my post-pregnancy boobs. I decided to have breast lift surgery (or mastopexy) in early 2005 to restore them to their…
