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…
One area of the lingerie industry that doesn’t get talked about much is bra wear after implants. Last year in the US alone, over 300,000 people had cosmetic breast augmentation surgery. That’s not even counting reconstructions. Breast implants come with a unique set of bra-fit issues. Not just immediately post-surgery, but once they’ve healed too….
Summer is here, and cami tops, halter dresses, and spaghetti straps are coming out in full force. Which raises the question, what bra style to wear with them? Strapless bras will stay hidden best, but many people find them insufficiently supportive. Racerback and T-back bras, on the other hand, are known for often boosting support….
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…
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…
If you don’t know what a bed jacket is, it’s a sort of extra-short robe. Sometimes they’re cropped right to just below the bust. And if you do know what one is, then you’re probably picturing one of two things. A glamorous Old Hollywood starlet perhaps. Or just that quilted, frumpy-looking thing your grandma wore….
Half slips were once a staple undergarment. But today, most people don’t wear them, and most lingerie brands don’t even make them. It’s a shame because they are fantastic for so many reasons! Even if you don’t care about wearing beautiful lingerie, half slips can make your outerwear look better. As the article title suggests,…
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to say thank you to your mom for being genuinely incredible. And while we all appreciate a bunch of flowers now and then, there is a whole world of different and often more exciting gifts out there. As a mom of three, I often put myself last. And because…
Summer after summer I struggled to find swimwear that would fit my large bust but also look super cute, too. Throw in the added complication of being plus size, and I often felt I had no other option than to squeeze into a wetsuit and be done with it. Things have now, thankfully, changed and…
