I’ve got a big birthday coming up this weekend. I’m turning 60. It’s hard not to look back as one moves into a new decade. I’ve faced some significant life changes in the past ten years. When I celebrated my 50th year, I was married, living in a gated community in North Seattle, and managing…
You know it’s an official lingerie fashion trend when Victoria’s Secret gets in on the action. They’re making headlines by moving beyond padded cups and offering new bralette styles. But bralette styles aren’t really “new.” (They look more like one of the first modern bra prototypes.) It’s a style that has gone in and out of fashion,…
I have to apologize in advance for this rant. But I’m angry about some breast news stories reported as factual, or even useful. Chalk it up to my more mature age and a growing impatience with irrelevant information taking up my precious time. I don’t have the energy to comment on the same stories that go…
I’m a long time bra wearer, so my bra habits are pretty ingrained. Over the years, I’ve shifted my bra buying and wearing routines.

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…
Got bra fit problems? It’s not your fault. Sure, women’s breasts are always changing and moving around on our chests. So it’s easy to blame ourselves when a particular bra—even in our correct size—doesn’t fit. But you need to keep in mind the way bras are made, sized, and sold. It turns out we may…
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.
