Do you ever have days where you’d rather not wear a bra? If you’re also not keen on going braless, there is a compromise. A camisole with a built-in bra! This two-in-one garment gets top marks for simplicity and speedy dressing. You can even wear one in place of a sports bra plus tank top…
As someone who works from home, there are days when I never put on a bra. It’s great, but I’ve found over time that embracing a braless existence makes me feel like I never got out of bed. And that’s even when I’ve worked an eight-hour day. Lately, I’ve found myself switching to bralettes, which…
Summer is the perfect occasion to lounge around in light and breathable fabrics. Cotton, silk, and modal are great options when the weather feels like the only appropriate outfit is a bikini. But if you have to dress around the house, nothing is better than a chemise or babydoll. (And if you want to wear…
When I first started writing about lingerie years ago, I developed some deeply held opinions about certain brands. Some were for older women, boring, or just weren’t my style. Lots of brands have changed designers and styles over the years, so I thought today we’d highlight my list of ‘most improved.’ Some of these are…
Cosabella was one of the earliest core size brands to embrace size expansions, through both a plus size bralette and, more recently, a curvy bralette line. These lines were primarily extensions of the regular Cosabella classics, with limited sizing up to 3X. Thankfully, just in time for Valentine’s Day Cosabella has partnered with Eloquii to…
Our recent post about trends in lingerie made a quick mention of Pantone’s color of the year: ultra-violet. That’s right; the Pantone people pick a new fashion color every year. Maybe it’s just to get us add it to our wardrobes (it is their job, after all). But colors do carry meaning and energy. According to their…
After a mastectomy, even if you have breast reconstruction, your bra needs will likely be very different from what you wore before your surgery. Wearing a bra after breast reconstruction is optional, whether you have new breasts made with implants, your own tissue, or both; your new “girls” will likely be higher and firmer than…
Many people prefer to wear front closing bras, and now there are plenty of options in this bra category. Summer tops and dresses often require me to switch to racerback front-close styles. But front-fastening bras feature traditional strap placements, too. And women who suffer from shoulder or arm mobility issues prefer to wear them year-round. Putting…
Beautiful nursing bras aren’t that hard to find anymore, which wasn’t the case during my breastfeeding years—some 25 years ago. Back in those days, I would have killed for anything in a cute fabric or design. But, today, it’s no longer a struggle to find attractive and practical nursing bras, even in sizes up to…
Let me be honest. This round-up of Mother’s Day gift ideas is entirely selfish on my part. It’s pulled from various lingerie images I’ve run across over the past three to six months. Since I’m both a mother and a grandmother, I choose items I’d love to receive (hint, hint). They might not appeal to…
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.
