I’ve been learning about lingerie for well over a decade now. One of the fascinating parts of that has been discovering how styles differ between countries. What’s popular in one place isn’t necessarily the norm elsewhere. Certain countries have a particularly distinctive lingerie aesthetic. Not surprisingly, France is one of them. And not just because…
So much new lingerie gets released each season, it’s easy to miss a lot of it. So today’s post is a little recap of some of the best (in my opinion) Fall/Winter 2019 pieces. Here you’ll find bra sets and lounge sets, plus pieces for full busts and plus sizes. And there’s something for every…
What’s the difference between a balconette and demi-cup bra styles? That can be tough to figure out since both lingerie brands and retailers seem to supply contradictory information about their features. Some of their websites claim that the demi-cup exposes more of the breast than the balconette, and vice-versa. So it’s no wonder that the…
The Summer edition of Curve NY is one I never miss. I honestly love the colorful and fun touch that brands often add to their Spring/Summer collections. A lot of lingerie labels only show their swimwear at this time of the year, but there is so much more to see. Today I’m walking you through…
Temperatures are finally dropping. But there’s still a little time left to flaunt some décolletage before we’re all wrapping up in scarves and polo necks. The best bra to wear with a V-shaped neckline is, of course, a plunge bra. This bra style has an unusually low center-front so that it won’t show under a…
Summer is in full swing, and everyone’s thoughts are on how to beat the heat. Holly’s recommending Megababe to stave off boob sweat. Wen’s sharing some breezy nightwear. And now it’s my turn to persuade you to try wearing mesh bras. When it comes to breathable underthings, you have a few fabric choices. Natural fibers…
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…
Welcome to my third and final Valentine’s lingerie guide of 2019. For treating yourself, or someone else! Previously, I’ve rounded up some romantic red lingerie, and cute heart-themed lingerie. But for those of you who prefer something more understated, today I’m sharing some black lace options. If you’re buying lingerie especially for February 14th, don’t…
I feel like straps are one of the most neglected parts of a bra when it comes to aesthetic design. There are so many possibilities for the way they could look. And yet 99% of the time, we’re stuck with a line of plain elastic. Satin, if we’re lucky. Would you love some more eye-catching…
Like me, you might have had a bra fitter tell you that your breasts are “shallow.” It’s common to hear this word when you’re in the fitting room trying on a gazillion bras in an attempt to find the one that fits and looks best. What does it mean to have shallow breasts? For me, having…
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.
