    Support for the Full Bust: 12 Must Read Blogs

    Byelisabeth June 26, 2013 1:14 pmMay 31, 2025 5:26 pm

    It’s no joke. Women blessed (or cursed, depending on the day) with a full bust have a harder time finding the right fit in bras and, by extension, fashionable clothes. Many women, especially if their body type is labelled “plus size,” can only shop on-line for their everyday wear. Anything over a size 16 isn’t…

    Best Bra Fit: How to Customize Your Bra

    Byelisabeth June 5, 2013 7:00 am

    You’ve heard the statistic: 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra. But does it matter? Sometimes the right size bra isn’t the issue. Your bra may fit your breasts in most respects, but not under the outfit you’re wearing. You might have a half dozen bra styles in your lingerie drawer, but…

    Forget Bra Sizing: What’s Your Bra Style?

    Byelisabeth April 10, 2013 6:30 am

    Ever since Oprah staged her first Bra Intervention, the importance of proper bra fit and sizing has been in the news. But what about bra style? Many women assume they wear the same size across different brands and bra styles. But nothing could be further from the truth. Why? Because: (1) no two bras are…

    How to Store Bras? Four Simple Bra Storage Rules

    Byelisabeth March 13, 2013 5:25 pm

    How do you store your bras? For years, my idea of bra storage was to fold my bras in half and toss them into the top drawer of my bedroom dresser. Every few months I’d pull it open and find a mess of straps, cups, and panties. Like my lingerie had a wild party behind my…

    How I Learned to Love Bra Washing Day

    Byelisabeth February 24, 2013 8:24 amJune 15, 2025 6:27 pm

    I know I can extend the life of my lingerie by following three key rules on bra washing day: (1) do it by hand (2) wash in cool water with gentle soap, and (3) always line dry. So why don’t I follow them? It’s easier to zip my dirty bras up in a mesh lingerie…

    How to get the best bra fit: interview with FabFoundations expert Ali Cudby

    Although I love lingerie and know quite a bit about it, I can still struggle to find the right bra fit. Even when I do succeed in my search, the same style and brand might not be available the next time I need to replenish my lingerie wardrobe. So I asked Ali Cudby, America’s #1 bra…

    What You Need to Know About Bra Construction? It’s Complicated

    Bythebreastlife July 2, 2012 12:20 amMay 31, 2025 5:14 pm

    What goes into a bra—other than your breasts? I pay attention to the right fit but don’t inspect every little detail of the finished products found on the hangers in my favorite lingerie store. What do I need to know about bra construction? I don’t treat my bras as complicated pieces of equipment, despite the engineering…

    Buying Your Daughter Her First Bra: Five Do’s and Don’ts

    Bythebreastlife May 27, 2012 6:10 pmMay 31, 2025 5:30 pm

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s recent bra buying episode prompted me to ask my grown girl what she remembers about buying her first bra. In the controversial RHNJ clip, Teresa Guidice mocks her 10-year old daughter’s body. Gia responds with predictable embarrassment. I wondered if my own daughter recalled how I reacted to her blossoming breast…

    Wedding Day Bra Drama

    Bythebreastlife April 6, 2011 5:10 pmMay 31, 2025 4:56 pm

    As the fashion world awaits news of Kate Middleton’s choice of wedding gown, I’m curious to know what she’ll be wearing underneath it all. My own wedding day had its share of boob challenges when I put on a strapless blunder that didn’t perform well under pressure. My hands were busy tugging and pulling at my bra,…
