Part of what fascinates me in writing about lingerie is why people buy the things they do. Why did velvet just take off this past season? Why has the strappy bra trend refused to die? Can we ever escape the all-encompassing reign of black mesh lingerie? Is what we buy dictated by lingerie trends? Whether…
Like many little girls, I dreamed of one day becoming a princess (and a mermaid, but that’s for another blog post). I may have grown out of that stage, but my adoration for all things pretty and pink hasn’t faded. One of the reasons that I love lingerie is that it allows us to play…
I recently rounded up 20 red velvet lingerie looks for the holiday season. So naturally, I had to follow-up with that other Yuletide color favorite—dark green lingerie! I think this one is my preferred color for this time of year. Unlike red, which is a typical lingerie color, green is comparatively rare. For me, that…
As holidays go, Christmas has to be my favorite. I love it all: the music, the sparkly decorations and the excuse to dress up in dramatic or kitschy outfits. I am the crazy lady who puts up her Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving afternoon and starts stashing advent calendars in October. The holidays are an excellent…
I love the coziness of Winter. Iced teas get swapped for hot chocolate and the AC for a crackling fireplace. And in the lingerie world, stores focus less on the thin, silk pieces that abound in summer to make way for more luxurious, warmer fabrics like cashmere and velvet. Whatever the season, there’s something about…
Fondly known as M&S or Marks & Sparks to the locals, Marks & Spencer is a powerhouse of the British high-street. It’s gradually expanding worldwide but has yet to reach US shores. If you love lingerie though, this is a name you should know. Founded in 1884, Marks & Spencer is a department store with…
Every holiday season, the topic of strapless bras comes up. There’s one truth that should be universally acknowledged: most strapless bras are terrible, relatively ineffective and genuinely uncomfortable. This problem is even worse if you’re full busted or full-figured. At best, most strapless bras are annoying and not great at providing lift. In the worst…
Do you try to buy a few trendy clothes or shoes every season? If so, how often do you update your bra wardrobe? Fall is here, even if where you live is still unseasonably warm (hello Los Angeles heat wave). Like me, you may need to replace some worn-out shoes, boots, or a coat from last…
Novelty Halloween prints? Either you love them, or you hate them. Or maybe, like Christmas jumpers, you love them but only to wear once a year. Whether you have no interest in a bat-print bra set or just can’t justify the cost for something you may never wear again, I have an alternative. Orange is…
Velvet lingerie is always around when colder weather sets in, but the flavor of the trend can vary. Last year it was all ’90s inspired, which was not my thing. But I love the 1930s Devore velvet inspired pieces that are starting to pop up this year. To me, velvet always feels like the ultimate…
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.
