Along with French lingerie, Japanese lingerie has one of the most distinctive aesthetics in the industry. And there’s a lot of crossover between the two. Both countries prefer more decorative lingerie over the plain stuff. They both love to use lace and embroidery. However, in France, these fabrics tend towards the fine and delicate. While…
The lingerie options for DD+ sizes continue to grow and grow. But at the other end of the scale, it can seem like small bust customers are forgotten.

I’m always astonished at the depth and breadth…
Do you know where to buy bras online? Dominating the bra buying market with nearly half of all US lingerie sales, you might first turn to Victoria’s Secret.
