Do you have any bra fit issues? How do you explain your concerns to a bra fitter, or to a customer service representative at a department store or lingerie retailer? Sometimes the best information about how well a particular style or bra brand fits is found by reading customer and lingerie blogger reviews. But not everyone uses…
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’ve written about lingerie for years, and this is still one of the most frequently asked questions that I get: why don’t brands make bras above a G Cup? In part, I think this question is common because it’s evident whenever you look at a site that carries lots of lingerie brands. There’s tons of…
What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work. What do I mean? Athleisure styles continue to dominate…
White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…
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. I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for and greater love of lingerie. It’s not just because I’ve grown older or wiser (since the first may be true, but the latter is debatable)….
For far too long, lingerie companies have adopted a one-color-fits-all mentality. The nude molded cup bra is the most popular style in America. Meant to blend with the skin and disappear under clothes, the standard nude color only works with the fairest of skin tones. This “nude” is beige. Using the term to describe a…
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….
I know a little bit about lingerie shopping for older breasts. I’ve stuffed and crammed my boobs into every bra size and style imaginable over the past 40+ years. But my single biggest challenge (including dressing unpredictable, lactating breasts) has been finding bras to fit and flatter my over 50 figure. It’s not easy to shop for bras when…
