We’re approaching Valentine’s Day, the holiday where everyone starts thinking about how in the world they can get away with buying lingerie as a gift. Lingerie gifts can be fraught with peril—most involve sizing, styling and figuring out how a chemise and a babydoll can be different when they both look the same. This stuff…
We’ve all heard of the lingerie as outerwear trend by now. With lavish lace and other intricate details typical of intimates, this stuff is just too pretty to keep hidden away! If you’re anything like me though, showing your lingerie to the world can feel a little daunting for the daytime. A party, on the…
I moved into my dream apartment this past June, except it had one problem: there are no built-in closets. I knew I would have to cut down on my lingerie and clothing collections, but it surprised me how much I felt I could live without when I started analyzing it all. All of this is…
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…
I recently rounded up 20 red velvet lingerie looks for the holiday season. So naturally, I had to follow-up with that other Yuletide color favorite—dark green lingerie! I think this one is my preferred color for this time of year. Unlike red, which is a typical lingerie color, green is comparatively rare. For me, that…
As holidays go, Christmas has to be my favorite. I love it all: the music, the sparkly decorations and the excuse to dress up in dramatic or kitschy outfits. I am the crazy lady who puts up her Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving afternoon and starts stashing advent calendars in October. The holidays are an excellent…
I love the coziness of Winter. Iced teas get swapped for hot chocolate and the AC for a crackling fireplace. And in the lingerie world, stores focus less on the thin, silk pieces that abound in summer to make way for more luxurious, warmer fabrics like cashmere and velvet. Whatever the season, there’s something about…
Recently, I decided to start teaching my son how to swim. Aside from the odd splash in the water on holiday, it was the first time I’d been in a pool myself since my childhood swimming lessons. I dug my swimwear out of storage, a pile of little triangle cups and tie-sided bikinis that I’d…
Every woman knows that her breasts change. That’s what boobs do—fluctuate in size and shape over time or under certain circumstances, like pregnancy. My boobs have had their share of (get ready for it) ups and downs—together with some sideways movement—over the past 45 years. Now that I’m officially post-menopausal, and enjoying the many benefits of…
As someone who mostly owns loose dresses and skirts, I’ve never really had to worry about visible panty lines. Then I bought myself a pair of slim-fit jeans. Suddenly briefs that I hadn’t previously noticed dug in a little bit were glaringly apparent under clothing. The jeans seemed to highlight and exaggerate the outline, creating…
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.
