    Curve NY SS20 Lingerie Trade Show Recap

    ByWen CGNB September 19, 2019 9:06 am

    The Summer edition of Curve NY is one I never miss. I honestly love the colorful and fun touch that brands often add to their Spring/Summer collections. A lot of lingerie labels only show their swimwear at this time of the year, but there is so much more to see. Today I’m walking you through…

    20 Fabulous Plunge Bras from 32AAA to 50DDD

    ByEstelle September 17, 2019 9:25 am

    Temperatures are finally dropping. But there’s still a little time left to flaunt some décolletage before we’re all wrapping up in scarves and polo necks. The best bra to wear with a V-shaped neckline is, of course, a plunge bra. This bra style has an unusually low center-front so that it won’t show under a…

    Bra Styles to Wear Under Summer Necklines and Outfits

    ByEstelle July 23, 2019 8:47 am

    As the days get warmer and our clothes get smaller, it becomes harder to avoid having your bra on show. For some people, the solution is finding bras with beautiful straps. But others loathe the idea of their bra being visible. That’s where shopping for different bra styles helps. Whatever look you’re going for this…

    Beautiful Full Slips: Fall’s Practical and Pretty Lingerie Layering Piece

    Byelisabeth October 25, 2018 9:22 am

    Full slips are making a comeback. And I, for one, am glad to see this trend. A gorgeous slip is the perfect layering piece for colder weather. It prevents static cling under most fabrics. And it helps shape and smooth you in all the right places, not just visible panty lines. But I’m not talking about everyday shapewear pieces,…

    Where to Buy Lingerie Sets With Garter Belts That Won’t Break the Bank

    ByEstelle October 9, 2018 9:10 am

    It’s that time of the year when we start reintroducing hosiery into your daily wardrobe. But if you love pretty lingerie, why cover half of it with pantyhose? Hold-ups (worn alone) and stockings (worn with a garter belt) are your other options. And I prefer the peace of mind of a garter belt. I know…

    Where is All The Pretty Shapewear? Look to Retro Brands!

    ByEstelle September 25, 2018 8:09 am

    How would you describe modern shapewear? Uncomfortable? Useful? Here’s my word: bor-ing! There, I said it. I despise modern shapewear. Not the fact that it exists. I do get why many people want to wear it. If it makes your outfit fit better or gives you a boost of confidence, good for you. I’m all…

    2018’s Color of the Year: The Power of Purple Panties and Bras

    Byelisabeth March 15, 2018 8:38 am

    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…

    The Truth About Strapless Bras: Best Brands, No Matter Your Size

    ByHolly123 November 2, 2017 8:28 am

    Every holiday season, the topic of strapless bras comes up. There’s one truth that should be universally acknowledged: most strapless bras are terrible, relatively ineffective and genuinely uncomfortable. This problem is even worse if you’re full busted or full-figured. At best, most strapless bras are annoying and not great at providing lift. In the worst…

    Update Your Bra Wardrobe with New Fall Styles & Colors

    Byelisabeth October 26, 2017 9:21 am

    Do you try to buy a few trendy clothes or shoes every season? If so, how often do you update your bra wardrobe? Fall is here, even if where you live is still unseasonably warm (hello Los Angeles heat wave). Like me, you may need to replace some worn-out shoes, boots, or a coat from last…

    Full Figure and Full Bust Bodysuits? Yes, Please.

    ByHolly123 June 15, 2017 8:40 am

    Bodysuits are trendy, simple to wear and easy to find—unless you’re full busted or full figured. Like rompers, bodysuits seem like a great wardrobe solution but can turn into a nightmare if you can’t find the right one. Frequently regular bodysuits are too short and uncomfortable if your breasts take up more space than allotted,…
