    An Intro to the French Lingerie Aesthetic

    ByEstelle December 3, 2019 8:42 am

    I’ve been learning about lingerie for well over a decade now. One of the fascinating parts of that has been discovering how styles differ between countries. What’s popular in one place isn’t necessarily the norm elsewhere. Certain countries have a particularly distinctive lingerie aesthetic. Not surprisingly, France is one of them. And not just because…

    Byelisabeth July 6, 2017 9:08 am

    Today’s guest blog post is about a choice many large breasted women face: whether to consider cosmetic breast reduction surgery or rely on a better fitting bra. Ellen Lewis, of Lingerie Briefs, provides insight into this decision from the perspective of a full-busted woman and an industry professional.   I’ve been wrestling quite a bit…

    Is it Necessary to Reinvent Bras?

    Byelisabeth May 25, 2017 7:55 am

     One claim often made by emerging intimate apparel brands is the need to “reinvent bras.”  For example, here’s a recent quote from a Kickstarter campaign for an ingenious strapless bra: Despite the many technological, engineering and manufacturing developments made during the past century – consider, for example, the development of walking boots, rain jackets or even…

    Empreinte Lingerie: Lessons in French Creativity, Skill, and Style

    Byelisabeth April 20, 2017 9:05 am

    Want to know a fun fact about Empreinte Lingerie? Their headquarters are in Brest, France. It’s where they cut 100% of their bra pieces before they go into production in Breast, Morocco, and Tunisia. While it’s cute to think of wearing bras from Brest, you should know that the French word for breast is “le sein”…

    Bra Power: Liberating, Motivating, and Inspiring

    Byelisabeth March 9, 2017 8:35 am

    On the heels of International Women’s Day and #DayWithoutAWoman, I want to give a shout out to the much-maligned bra. Contrary to popular belief, women in the United States didn’t burn their bras at any public protest or demonstration. We’ve come a long way since the invention of the first modern bra, too. Back in those days, we…

    Byelisabeth September 21, 2016 8:40 am

    Just because you’ve reached a certain age, doesn’t mean you have to give up wearing beautiful lingerie. Take it from a woman who participated in her first boudoir shoot at the ripe young age of 59. Still, it can be a challenge to shop for and wear lingerie in your 50s and 60s. You won’t…

    5 Signs You’re Wearing The Perfect Bra

    Byelisabeth August 31, 2016 9:01 am

    Why is it so hard to find the perfect bra? For starters, no two bras are made or sized the same way. I wear multiple band/letter combinations in different brands and styles (my Bra Zone). Plus boobs are always changing. Maybe some bra styles fit you better during your menstrual cycle. Then again, those may…
