Where do you shop for Halloween costumes? Do you create your own or buy one? I’m a DIY Halloween costume kind of girl. I start with what’s in my closet and then shop thrift or party stores for accessories. Dramatic make-up, crazy masks, or cheap wigs go a long way to complete any creative ideas….
I stopped doing formal lingerie trade show coverage a few years ago for reasons that aren’t exactly a secret: much of the stock at shows like Curve looks pretty much the same. Lingerie trends have become less exciting over the past few years, and color palettes have evolved to focus on nothing but the most…
Do your bras no longer fit after childbirth and breastfeeding? Nothing alters the body’s landscape more than having a baby. And as a result, you may be looking for the best post pregnancy bras for new, post-baby boobs. Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding doesn’t cause the most common postpartum complaint: saggy boobs (known as ptosis). Plus, surveys…
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the retro lingerie aesthetic. In a world of strappy black lingerie, I’m the one who still reaches for crazy prints and girly lace. I put together a list of some of the best vintage inspired bras for those of us with an extra helping of curves. While…
Temperatures are climbing right now in Southern California and the less I have to wear the better. I’m not a huge fan of strapless bras because they’re more challenging to size and fit on my body. But I love to wear them during hotter and more humid months. Going braless is not an option for…
First bras for young girls can be difficult to find, fit, and buy. I’ve written on this subject before, but readers still ask: how do you decide which bra style is best? The idea behind the “training bra” was to get a girl used to wearing one. It can be a bit of a shock to…
You know it’s an official lingerie fashion trend when Victoria’s Secret gets in on the action. They’re making headlines by moving beyond padded cups and offering new bralette styles. But bralette styles aren’t really “new.” (They look more like one of the first modern bra prototypes.) It’s a style that has gone in and out of fashion,…
What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work. What do I mean? Athleisure styles continue to dominate…
Ever wonder how new lingerie brands make it onto store shelves or hangers? Most meet potential retailers by exhibiting their lines at intimate apparel and clothing trade shows. It exposes them to hundreds of on-line and brick and mortar buyers that might never see or hear about their products. That’s why I attend Curvexpo Lingerie…
White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…
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.
