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…
Part of what fascinates me in writing about lingerie is why people buy the things they do. Why did velvet just take off this past season? Why has the strappy bra trend refused to die? Can we ever escape the all-encompassing reign of black mesh lingerie? Is what we buy dictated by lingerie trends? Whether…
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…
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…
Lingerie gifts are one of my favorite things, and the Holidays often bring out the best in brands and designers as well. The best part is that now there are tons of great options for those of us who are full-busted and full-figured, so we’re not stuck on the sidelines pining for things that will…
Do you buy something new to wear over the holidays? I’m not talking about regular family gatherings but the seasonal office parties and neighborhood invites. You might not think of it, but lingerie bodysuits are an excellent choice as a top under simple or more formal skirts and pants. Plus you can wear them again–either…
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…
Is it okay for women over 50 to show cleavage? My ideal world would be one where zero fashion police exist to judge women by what they wear. But that’s not the case. And breasts are highly sexualized, by both sexes. I remember years of hiding mine under high-neck styles, to avoid unwanted attention. It’s…
When people find out what I do, they have one question: “Where can I buy bras?” People ask this independent of venue, appropriateness, timing or awkwardness. I’ve had my mother’s friends ask me where to find sexy lingerie while sitting on my childhood sofa and had others talk to me about nipple coverage in elegant…
Where are all the hot older women in lingerie advertising? There are a few, but they are a rare find in a field of hard young bodies. When you age, you also get soft in some places—even if, like me, you work out with weights three times a week. And while “hot” may not be used…
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.
