I remember many years ago getting my first “proper” bra. My bust at that time was around a 32G, and I was relatively young. I went to the department store and given a Fantasie “smoothing” T-shirt bra in the color of a digestive biscuit. I’ll admit the fit was lovely but was this the best…
I’ve always loved the vintage look, and I’m certainly not alone! The vintage look, from the 1920s to the 1970s, has remained popular in fashion and lingerie. Unfortunately, that look wasn’t always available to full bust and plus size customers. Luckily, options have expanded over the past few years. This list ranges from bra designs…
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…
With temperatures dropping to record-breaking lows, it’s a good a time to think about pretty floral lingerie sets. Because even if this post doesn’t make it any warmer outside, just looking at flowery images may make you feel like it’s closer to Spring. (And believe it or not, it’s not that far away!) Floral lingerie sets…
January is traditionally full of new resolutions and fresh starts, like gym memberships and healthy eating plans. But what about our lingerie drawer? It can be equally refreshing to branch out and try something new when you shop, especially if it’s something designed to work with your curvier figure. Today I’m covering my favorite full…
This year was a fantastic one for plus size clothing and lingerie, guys. When I first start getting into writing about the fashion industry, it was sometimes like truffle hunting to find stuff worth covering. Now, fabulous new things come out all the time and in multiple categories! Today I’m covering two of my favorites: lingerie…
One of the occupational hazards of working in the lingerie industry is that you see everything early. For most of us, we see “new” pieces almost a year ahead of time: this can make it tough to get excited about them when they arrive in stores. One of the great parts of this autumn batch…
I don’t know about you, but I find myself drawn to different colors depending on the season. When the sun is shining, I reach for lingerie that’s equally bright and vibrant. But when the colder months roll around, I want rich, deep, cozy-feeling tones. The start of a new season is the perfect time to…
Strappy harness bras, like pumpkin spice lattes, are everywhere right now. While I’m not a year-round fan of them, I do tend to rediscover my small collection of strappy bras once the weather gets a little cooler. They make great layering pieces during transitional weather and can change the look of a basic dress or…
It’s been warm here for a while, but I know that East Coasters are finally getting their first blast of warm air in months. So it’s a great time to talk about full bust and full-figured swimsuits. Because pool weather will be here before you know it (unless you live in New Orleans, where it frequently…
