Have you ever bought a bra online and received one that didn’t look exactly like the picture? It’s most likely to happen if you are full-busted. A DD is around the point where breasts become heavy enough to require additional support features. The same bra design that works for an A to D won’t fit…
Growing up, I thought 32 was the smallest band size because I never saw anything smaller. At least outside of the ‘teen bra’ department, there were zero small band bras. However, thanks to pressure from customers, brands are expanding their size ranges upwards and downwards. I wear a 30 band, and I no longer struggle…
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…
As the days get warmer and our clothes get smaller, it becomes harder to avoid having your bra on show. For some people, the solution is finding bras with beautiful straps. But others loathe the idea of their bra being visible. That’s where shopping for different bra styles helps. Whatever look you’re going for this…
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…
I have a beach-filled trip coming up soon, so my thoughts have turned to swimwear. Usually, I’m not bothered about whether my swim looks are in fashion or not. But I am loving the trends this year! Some of last year’s swimwear trends are still going strong. However, there are plenty of new ones to…
First, it was decorative backs and high necklines; now it’s longer bands. Brands are pushing the boundaries of bra design by experimenting with different ways to add more fabric. After all, the bigger the canvas, the more space you have to get creative. Longline bras are not a new invention, but they are a growing…
Did you catch last week’s post on heart-motif lingerie for Valentine’s? If kitschy hearts aren’t your style but you still want something ‘themed,’ you can’t go wrong with a classic red. No other color says love or passion quite the same! When it comes to picking out a special occasion lingerie set, I’m a big…
With only around a month to go until December 25th, I’m sure many of you are looking for present ideas. And in the lingerie-o-sphere, loungewear is one of the easier things to gift. Mostly, that’s because it comes in regular clothing sizes. Buying a bra for someone else can be very tricky. I even get…
It’s that time of the year when we start reintroducing hosiery into your daily wardrobe. But if you love pretty lingerie, why cover half of it with pantyhose? Hold-ups (worn alone) and stockings (worn with a garter belt) are your other options. And I prefer the peace of mind of a garter belt. I know…
