Shortly before the holidays, Pantone announced that 2019’s color of the year would be Living Coral. A sort of salmon pink, they describe it as ‘animating’ and ‘lively.’ It “[symbolizes] our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits,” the text continues. Now tell me if that doesn’t correctly summarize that springtime mood! I’m a fan…
I recently rounded up a list of small bust lingerie brands. But it lacked one thing: small cup sizes across larger bands. Especially anything above a 40. So today I’m bringing you a selection of brands where you can find AA-B cups on plus-sized bands. Oh, and these bras are pretty too! Because wearing a…
I feel like straps are one of the most neglected parts of a bra when it comes to aesthetic design. There are so many possibilities for the way they could look. And yet 99% of the time, we’re stuck with a line of plain elastic. Satin, if we’re lucky. Would you love some more eye-catching…
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…
The black bra set is a lingerie classic. I’d almost say a must-have. Inky black looks fabulous on all skin tones, and it pairs well with anything. And because we’ve come to associate it with sexy lingerie, it’s often the go-to choice when picking out something for the boudoir. Can’t justify buying a new bra…
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…
When you work in the lingerie industry, it’s easy to feel like things get a little stale at the end of a season. You’ve been looking at and writing about the same bras all season, and you’re ready for something new. I was thrilled to see the new Spring lingerie releases start to trickle out…
It’s been awhile since I wrote a blog on great sports bras for big boobs. If you wear anything over a D cup in any band size, you know how critical bust support is when exercising. It’s a struggle I’ve had my entire life. But thankfully, there are plenty of great sports bras on the…
After a mastectomy, even if you have breast reconstruction, your bra needs will likely be very different from what you wore before your surgery. Wearing a bra after breast reconstruction is optional, whether you have new breasts made with implants, your own tissue, or both; your new “girls” will likely be higher and firmer than…
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…
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.
