Growing up, I thought 32 was the smallest band size because I never saw anything smaller. At least outside of the ‘teen bra’ department, there were zero small band bras. However, thanks to pressure from customers, brands are expanding their size ranges upwards and downwards. I wear a 30 band, and I no longer struggle…
Summer is here, and cami tops, halter dresses, and spaghetti straps are coming out in full force. Which raises the question, what bra style to wear with them? Strapless bras will stay hidden best, but many people find them insufficiently supportive. Racerback and T-back bras, on the other hand, are known for often boosting support….
The lingerie options for DD+ sizes continue to grow and grow. But at the other end of the scale, it can seem like small bust customers are forgotten.

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…

If you aren’t happy with your choices in bra styles, or how your bra fits or looks, you need to embrace a wider world of lingerie. I’m more aware of the bra possibilities because I regularly attend industry trade shows. There I visit with hundreds of brands showcasing their latest lines. I’m always astonished at the depth and breadth…
Intimate apparel market trends are set in motion long before lingerie and swimwear brands show off their latest collections at trade shows. Manufacturers are busy testing new products, sourcing materials, and gathering feedback from potential customers year-round. It can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months (or longer) from design concept to the finished, fluffed, and tagged product on…
