Did you catch last week’s post on heart-motif lingerie for Valentine’s? If kitschy hearts aren’t your style but you still want something ‘themed,’ you can’t go wrong with a classic red. No other color says love or passion quite the same! When it comes to picking out a special occasion lingerie set, I’m a big…
The holidays are approaching, which means that for most of us, temperatures are about to dip low. There are plenty of layering options when it comes to full bust lingerie, including strappy bras and bodysuits. Today I’m focusing on curve friendly legwear. It can be a great way to keep dresses and skirts in a rotation, but…
It’s that time of the year when we start reintroducing hosiery into your daily wardrobe. But if you love pretty lingerie, why cover half of it with pantyhose? Hold-ups (worn alone) and stockings (worn with a garter belt) are your other options. And I prefer the peace of mind of a garter belt. I know…
How would you describe modern shapewear? Uncomfortable? Useful? Here’s my word: bor-ing! There, I said it. I despise modern shapewear. Not the fact that it exists. I do get why many people want to wear it. If it makes your outfit fit better or gives you a boost of confidence, good for you. I’m all…
Are you planning a boudoir photo shoot? Perhaps even your first? Then you’re no doubt busy plotting which lingerie you’re going to wear. But don’t forget to think about the accessories too! From footwear to jewelry, it’s the accessories that complete the look. For images that look chic and polished though, don’t go overboard. Rather…
Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that the bullet bra is a lingerie icon. They’re usually associated with the 1950s. Well, that and 1990s Madonna. The style originated in the 1940s however, with Maidenform’s Chansonette bra. What is a bullet bra? We’re used to seeing bra seams go horizontally, vertically, or sometimes diagonally. 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…
Waspies don’t get written about much in the lingerie world. You may even be wondering what one is! A waspie is simply a name for a specific type of corset, an underbust one that’s particularly short. There’s no official definition, but generally speaking, a waspie corset is no more than 8” tall at the side…
As I get older, Valentine’s Day is more about what I do for myself and less about what I expect from others. Yeah, I might go out to dinner. But I’m more likely to splurge on lingerie that I adore rather than lingerie that is designed to impress someone else. However, I’ve never been one…
Velvet lingerie is everywhere right now. It’s the perfect Winter fabric thanks to its smooth and thicker texture. Just looking at velvet makes me feel all warm inside. It’s not just showing up on bras, either. You’ll find it on bralettes, bodysuits, chemises, slips, briefs, lounge shorts, and robes. It’s often used as a trim, or crushed and burned…
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.
