I was out clothes shopping recently and struck by a comment from a fellow female shopper. The young woman was standing outside the dressing room in front of a large three-way mirror. As she studied her reflection, she kept tugging at her dress. “I’m not sure about this,” she said to the salesperson. She smoothed the fabric out…
Lately, I’ve noticed a shift from articles focused on finding the correct bra size to talk about matching bra styles and breast shapes. What does it mean?

Shopping for clothing when you’re curvy can be tough. Figuring out what “type” of curvy you are according to the fashion industry can be even harder. How do you know when you are full busted or full-figured? Full busted and full-figured are used interchangeably in fashion articles and by brands, but knowing the difference between…
Can we take a break from all the bra hate? I love bras. I love what they do for my body, clothes, and state of mind. But not one day goes by when I don’t read some random article on the horrors of bra wear. The basic premise of these pieces is that “we all…
If you’ve got big boobs, chances are your workout has been ruined by a poorly fitting sports bra. Surprisingly, studies have shown that most women either don’t wear a sports bra, or struggle through workouts with bras that don’t do their job. Unsupported breasts have serious bounce, with D cups moving 2-3″ in each direction….
An underwire bra is like a good friend to me. So why are some such a pain? Underwire bras provide great shaping, support, and lift. They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, too. I’m a 34DD at the moment, but as a 34C cup a few years back, it was my go-to bra style…
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.
