Do you know LIVELY lingerie? Launching in 2016, the brand is a new player in the industry. They’re different from most “direct to consumer” bra brands vying for a share of the intimate apparel market. You can choose to shop on their website or in one of their four brick and mortar stores. And you’ll…
What are bustiers and basques? The dictionary defines a bustier as a close-fitting strapless bra that you can wear as outerwear. According to the French, it’s merely a longline bra. A basque is longer, and often includes garters or suspenders. But the terms seem interchangeable. And both styles veer into “only for the boudoir” territory,…
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…
Every January, for the past several, I’ve gotten together with friends to create a yearly vision board. I’ve never been big on resolutions, but a visual reminder of my personal goals works for me. I can post it on the fridge or keep it at my writing desk, or focus on it during meditation. One of…
I’ve been struggling with writing a post about my most recent photoshoot. There didn’t seem to be a way to tie these photos together, except as proof that more mature women adore wearing beautiful lingerie. Then I remembered Congresswoman Maxine Waters and a phrase she kept repeating during a Congressional hearing. The video went viral. “Reclaiming my time”…
I’m 62 and have never been happier in my entire life (no lie). But I’m starting to get very irritated (no, make that pissed off) about the beauty industry’s latest catchphrase: ageless beauty. Commercials either try to sell me some anti-aging cream to erase my wrinkles or tell me I need to wear an age-defying…
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…
You might be asking yourself, what’s up with Elisabeth’s hair? Maybe you’ve seen me go from a brunette, redhead, to a blond over the years. I recently bared my soul for the What’s Wrong With You? Podcast, where I talked about my faults and failures in life. And it got me thinking about how far I’ve come,…
What’s up with The Breast Life? We’ve got a new look, along with a more succinct tagline. Why the change? Like everything else, The Breast Life continues to evolve. And we hope these changes make it easier to navigate the site and take advantage of all that we have to offer. First, we’re adding some beautiful…
While I was on the phone the other night with a friend, the most awkward aspect of my job came up: lingerie blogging. The friend in question is great, but she lives a state away now. Our friendship consists of long phone calls every other week to keep in touch. In our latest one, she…
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.
