    Ms A London: Because Trans Lives (and Lingerie) Matter

    Byelisabeth February 22, 2021 8:31 amMay 22, 2025 11:56 am

    February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, and the theme for 2021 is Body Mind and Spirit. This makes it the perfect time to introduce my readers to an excellent and much-needed new UK lingerie brand. Launching later this year, Ms A London is specially designed and developed for Transgender women, Transfeminine, and Gender…

    Balconette and Demi-Cup Bra Styles: What’s the Difference?

    Byelisabeth October 31, 2019 9:08 am

    What’s the difference between a balconette and demi-cup bra styles? That can be tough to figure out since both lingerie brands and retailers seem to supply contradictory information about their features. Some of their websites claim that the demi-cup exposes more of the breast than the balconette, and vice-versa. So it’s no wonder that the…

    D to G Cup Bras: Who Makes Them and Why

    ByHolly123 September 10, 2019 9:27 am

    When I started buying bras as a teenager finding a G cup bra was an expensive and frequently humiliating process. It was also the end of the alphabet, in a practical sense. A DD cup was considered huge, and a G cup was only available from brands tackling extended sizing. If you were a teenage…

    Where to Recycle Bras, Part 2

    Byelisabeth February 28, 2019 9:12 am

    It’s been a few years since I put together a list of ways to recycle bras. Since that time, more brands and non-profits have begun to offer this service to consumers. And many of the retailers and charities that solicit gently worn bras also benefit women in need. If you haven’t read my first post,…

    16 Embroidered Bras to Pick Up This Winter

    ByHolly123 February 14, 2019 9:38 am

    One of the great joys of sweater weather is that you can wear absolutely anything underneath them! I love this time of year because you can let your fun lingerie tastes shine: embroidery, patterned laces, and even sequins disappear under winter clothing quite well. Embroidery is one of my favorite lingerie trends, so it makes…

    Romantic Red Garter Belt Sets for Valentine’s Day

    ByEstelle January 24, 2019 9:20 am

    Did you catch last week’s post on heart-motif lingerie for Valentine’s? If kitschy hearts aren’t your style but you still want something ‘themed,’ you can’t go wrong with a classic red. No other color says love or passion quite the same! When it comes to picking out a special occasion lingerie set, I’m a big…

    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,…

    Fall Colors: 21 Bra Sets for the Harvest Season

    ByEstelle September 18, 2018 9:22 am

    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…

    12 Full Bust Harness Bras to Rev Up Your Layering Possibilities

    ByHolly123 September 11, 2018 9:21 am

    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…

    Classic Black Bra Sets to Wear Every Day—and Special Occasions

    ByEstelle August 28, 2018 8:48 am

    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…
