For far too long, lingerie companies have adopted a one-color-fits-all mentality. The nude molded cup bra is the most popular style in America. Meant to blend with the skin and disappear under clothes, the standard nude color only works with the fairest of skin tones. This “nude” is beige. Using the term to describe a…
Vintage inspired lingerie has been all the rage for quite a few years, and the trend is showing no sign of slowing down. And it’s no surprise. Lingerie from the 1920s through the 1950s was certainly glamorous, romantic, and seductive. But what was most appealing was its attitude. All that romance and drama were coupled…
Plagued with underwires that dig into your rib cage or gouge under your armpit? You might consider ditching those bras for a wire-free style. I know, you probably think that a wireless bra only works for women with small boobs. With recent advances in fabrication and design, it’s easier than ever to find a wireless…
Some lingerie is made to wear outside the bedroom. The bodysuit is one such versatile piece. It can be worn multiple ways. Layer it under skirts, pants, and jackets with or without a bra. It can serve as an informal, casual piece or be part of a dressy cocktail ensemble. The only drawback (for me) is gauging if…
Warm enough for you this summer? I’m looking at ways to beat the heat as I pack for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas — where the temperature is supposed to be 107°. (Really.) So what do you wear, when you can’t wear a swimsuit because you need your bra on to conduct necessary business?…
With all of the ups and downs of bra fit and finding our best bra zone, we spend a lot of time worrying about how our bras look from the front. But what about the back? A bra with a pretty back lets you show off assets besides your breasts. Flaunt your strong back in…
I know a little bit about lingerie shopping for older breasts. I’ve stuffed and crammed my boobs into every bra size and style imaginable over the past 40+ years. But my single biggest challenge (including dressing unpredictable, lactating breasts) has been finding bras to fit and flatter my over 50 figure. It’s not easy to shop for bras when…
Being the mother of the bride is almost as big of a day for you as it is for her! You want to look your best, but with a day that can go into the wee hours of the night you’ll want to be comfortable, too. Special occasion dresses call for specially designed lingerie. Whether…
The plus size, small bust bra market has been very slow to grow. With all of the excited talk about lingerie brands extending their band sizing, smaller cups haven’t received much attention. While these companies may offer larger band sizes, most of their cup sizes start at D or higher. This is no surprise as…
If you aren’t happy with your choices in bra styles, or how your bra fits or looks, you need to embrace a wider world of lingerie. I’m more aware of the bra possibilities because I regularly attend industry trade shows. There I visit with hundreds of brands showcasing their latest lines. I’m always astonished at the depth and breadth…
