What’s the difference between a balconette and demi-cup bra styles? That can be tough to figure out since both lingerie brands and retailers seem to supply contradictory information about their features. Some of their websites claim that the demi-cup exposes more of the breast than the balconette, and vice-versa. So it’s no wonder that the…
Minimizer bras don’t get written about much. They’re not ‘cool.’ But they can be useful. Minimizers do precisely what the name suggests—they make your breasts look smaller. Why might you want to wear minimizer bras? Have you ever struggled to find shirts and button-through dresses that didn’t gape? A minimizer can fix that by flattening…
Temperatures are finally dropping. But there’s still a little time left to flaunt some décolletage before we’re all wrapping up in scarves and polo necks. The best bra to wear with a V-shaped neckline is, of course, a plunge bra. This bra style has an unusually low center-front so that it won’t show under a…
Full cup bras have a reputation for being a little retro, but they’re a classic lingerie style that deserves more love. A great full cup bra is perfect under a t-shirt or a sweater and is pretty much fuss-free. They may become your favorite style in your lingerie drawer. This diverse list of full cup…
As the days get warmer and our clothes get smaller, it becomes harder to avoid having your bra on show. For some people, the solution is finding bras with beautiful straps. But others loathe the idea of their bra being visible. That’s where shopping for different bra styles helps. Whatever look you’re going for this…
One area of the lingerie industry that doesn’t get talked about much is bra wear after implants. Last year in the US alone, over 300,000 people had cosmetic breast augmentation surgery. That’s not even counting reconstructions. Breast implants come with a unique set of bra-fit issues. Not just immediately post-surgery, but once they’ve healed too….
I’ve always loved the vintage look, and I’m certainly not alone! The vintage look, from the 1920s to the 1970s, has remained popular in fashion and lingerie. Unfortunately, that look wasn’t always available to full bust and plus size customers. Luckily, options have expanded over the past few years. This list ranges from bra designs…
Shortly before the holidays, Pantone announced that 2019’s color of the year would be Living Coral. A sort of salmon pink, they describe it as ‘animating’ and ‘lively.’ It “[symbolizes] our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits,” the text continues. Now tell me if that doesn’t correctly summarize that springtime mood! I’m a fan…
Our recent post about trends in lingerie made a quick mention of Pantone’s color of the year: ultra-violet. That’s right; the Pantone people pick a new fashion color every year. Maybe it’s just to get us add it to our wardrobes (it is their job, after all). But colors do carry meaning and energy. According to their…
It’s been awhile since I wrote a blog on great sports bras for big boobs. If you wear anything over a D cup in any band size, you know how critical bust support is when exercising. It’s a struggle I’ve had my entire life. But thankfully, there are plenty of great sports bras on the…
