Though we are all born naked, some of us feel more comfortable—day and night—with a little extra support around the bust. Fortunately, we don’t need to bring underwires to bed. As the bralette trend keeps expanding, it has never been easier to find non-wired full bust sleep bras. Whether you prefer custom-made, easy-fit or cup…
When I first started writing about lingerie years ago, I developed some deeply held opinions about certain brands. Some were for older women, boring, or just weren’t my style. Lots of brands have changed designers and styles over the years, so I thought today we’d highlight my list of ‘most improved.’ Some of these are…
The hunt for the perfect bra can be a difficult one. You not only need to find the right size, but you also need the right style for your particular breast shape. Tall and molded cups work better on fuller breasts, for example. Front fastenings work best on those with wide-set breasts. But there’s one…
I remember many years ago getting my first “proper” bra. My bust at that time was around a 32G, and I was relatively young. I went to the department store and given a Fantasie “smoothing” T-shirt bra in the color of a digestive biscuit. I’ll admit the fit was lovely but was this the best…
One area of the industry that gets very little press is post-surgery lingerie. And yet there is some exciting and innovating stuff going on here. And one such brand to take note of is Embody Paris. Embody Paris describes itself as “a fresh look at post-surgery lingerie.” In a sector known for its bland, utilitarian…
I’ve always loved the vintage look, and I’m certainly not alone! The vintage look, from the 1920s to the 1970s, has remained popular in fashion and lingerie. Unfortunately, that look wasn’t always available to full bust and plus size customers. Luckily, options have expanded over the past few years. This list ranges from bra designs…
If you don’t know what a bed jacket is, it’s a sort of extra-short robe. Sometimes they’re cropped right to just below the bust. And if you do know what one is, then you’re probably picturing one of two things. A glamorous Old Hollywood starlet perhaps. Or just that quilted, frumpy-looking thing your grandma wore….
We’re featuring Else Lingerie on the blog today because I recently visited their new flagship store, here in Los Angeles. They don’t just design bras and knickers; they offer a complete brand experience that reflects a timeless aesthetic, including home textiles and candles. I’m a big fan but never tried on any of their styles….
Half slips were once a staple undergarment. But today, most people don’t wear them, and most lingerie brands don’t even make them. It’s a shame because they are fantastic for so many reasons! Even if you don’t care about wearing beautiful lingerie, half slips can make your outerwear look better. As the article title suggests,…
Usually, I do what most self-respecting Southerners do once the temperature hits 90 in May. I stay inside in the air conditioning until November. This year, my situation is a little different. My puppy just turned six months a few days ago and wants to be outside rain or shine. Amazingly, puppies don’t care how…
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.
