    Byelisabeth August 8, 2016 8:43 am

    Nursing Sports Bras: Athleisure Wear for Pumping & Breastfeeding Moms

    Byelisabeth June 13, 2016 8:39 am

    Nursing sports bras are a more casual, athleisure wear support solution for new moms. They’re not so much about working out or getting back into your pre-pregnancy shape. You don’t need a gym membership or be signed up for Pilates or yoga classes to wear them (even if you did those things before your baby arrived)….

    Byelisabeth March 9, 2016 3:58 pm

    What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work.

    Byelisabeth August 10, 2015 1:08 pm

    You don’t have to look hard to find beautiful full figure bras and lingerie anymore. Part of it is due to the rise of the full figure fashion market and vocal plus size fashion bloggers. After all, you’ve got to wear something underneath all those cute styles. There’s also confusion about what the terms plus size and full…

    Stylish Nursing Bras for Every Personality

    Bylaurie April 22, 2015 8:20 am

    Nursing bras have come a long way in the last few years. Long gone are the boring, utilitarian bras of the past that forced us to sacrifice personal style while breastfeeding. Many lingerie companies have transitioned to lifestyle brands, creating stylish nursing bras that mimic pre-pregnancy lingerie looks and disguise cutting-edge technology. Pretty, fashion-forward nursing…

    What’s Wrong with Dita Von Teese Maternity Lingerie?

    Byelisabeth August 6, 2014 2:47 pm

    The Daily Beast’s Emma Mahony is offended by the new line of Dita Von Teese maternity lingerie. Having breastfed all three of my babies, I can understand why Ms. Mahoney might want Dita Von Teese to “keep your hands off our boobs.” There’s a great deal of societal pressure for women to look and feel…
