Early in the year feels like the perfect time to refresh your lingerie wardrobe. But before you hit the shops, take a look at what you already own. Do your bras need replacing, or can you repair or modify them? Is it possible to fix broken bras? Elisabeth previously wrote a list of bra hacks…
The week between Christmas and New Year is my favorite time of year. It’s the perfect time to get ready for 2018 by throwing or giving away what no longer serves me. While that may include bad habits, it also applies to some much-loved lingerie. Maybe you’re like me, and hang on too long to some…
What are the reasons why bras don’t fit? According to some bra fitters, “85% of women are in the wrong size bra.” But that statistic is just a myth and fails to take into account that not all bras are sized or made the same way. So it’s not about finding the one, right size. Most…
Today’s post is for those readers who want to know more about my new book. I’m pairing this Bra Zone book excerpt with a small selection of recommended bras from our store. As you’ll see, bra buying isn’t always easy, even when there are many brands and styles available. This brief introduction to The Bra Zone:…
Welcome to the chaotic world of my underwear drawer! It got out-of-control the last few months, what with holiday craziness and last-minute travel.

There’s an extra layer of crazy to intimate apparel sizing, especially when it’s sold across international markets. And WTF is the only way to describe my frustration with the current bra sizing system. Today’s version of the bra was first introduced at…
In any business there are some who are better at their job than others. But how do you know you’ve put your boobs in the right hands (or tape measurer) when it comes to proper bra fit? Given all the different styles and brands on the market, it’s hard to know who to trust. You could turn…
Got bra fit problems? It’s not your fault. Sure, women’s breasts are always changing and moving around on our chests. So it’s easy to blame ourselves when a particular bra—even in our correct size—doesn’t fit. But you need to keep in mind the way bras are made, sized, and sold. It turns out we may…
