  • Fit Advice & Bra Brands Designed for Asymmetrical Breasts

    by Estelle Puleston March 6, 2023
    by Estelle Puleston March 6, 2023

    The standard bra fit advice in this situation is to choose the cup size that fits the larger breast, and then fill in the excess space on the other side with a removable cup insert. However, I’ve found a few more off-the-rack bra options for unevenly-sized breasts!

  • Why a Good Bra Fit Matters

    by Estelle Puleston February 17, 2023
    by Estelle Puleston February 17, 2023

    Uncomfortable underwires, cups that gape/wrinkle or dig in, constantly having to pull the straps back up onto your shoulders… all of these are signs that you may need a different bra size. Breasts change size and shape as we go through life, so if you’re still just buying the same size you’ve worn for years and years, it may no longer be the best one for you.

  • What Do Underwires Do in a Bra?

    by Estelle Puleston May 18, 2021
    by Estelle Puleston May 18, 2021

    Underwired bras seem to be the Marmite of the lingerie world. But what do these love-’em-or-hate-’em wires do? You probably know that they play a role in adding support to the bra, but how do they do it?

  • What Are Minimiser Bras, and How Do They Work?

    by Estelle Puleston July 9, 2019
    by Estelle Puleston July 9, 2019

    We’ve got bras engineered to shape your bust in practically any way – to make it look rounder, pointier, more lifted, more pushed-together, bigger, and yes, smaller too. That last one is what we call a ‘minimiser’ bra.

  • Should Boutiques Charge for Bra Fittings?

    by Kirsty McAspurn May 28, 2015

    Should customers pay for bra fittings? This is a debate that myself and some of my fellow lingerie boutique owners often have. To charge or not to charge? That is the question.…

I found this amazing Sister Jane blouse on Vinted I found this amazing Sister Jane blouse on Vinted and instantly thought of all the different styling possibilities with various bras and camisoles I own. Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting it to be quite SO oversized 😅. So as much as I still love it on the hanger, I decided it isn't for me and resold it. But it did look particularly cute with this @studio.pia Petra bralette in Amber, right?

Let's hear it for bras with pretty backs! This is Let's hear it for bras with pretty backs! This is forever one of my favourite combinations in summer - the Emma Harris silk Anais camisole and my ancient (but still very fabulous) Bordelle Thorn bra. They both have gold-tone hardware, so it's an *extra* perfect match.

If you missed it, we rounded up some currently-available bras with decorative backs on the blog last month. I'll link it in my story.

Eco-friendly lingerie storage tip: these size S @a Eco-friendly lingerie storage tip: these size S @ahtable_cuisine organic cotton bags are perfect for storing one set each, and they're transparent enough that you can see what's inside.

Let me know in the comments if you store your lingerie in transparent bags too, or if you have another system that works better for you 👇

For years now I've been using cheap organza bags I bought in bulk on eBay. They're great because they prevent snags while taking up very little space and you can easily find what you're looking for, but now that they're falling apart, I wanted to replace them with something more sustainable. Not more polyester. 

It was a long search because most natural-fibre bags like this are opaque, and whatever I put in an opaque bag I tend to just forget exists. But I finally found exactly what I was looking for with these bags (this particular size even has pink drawstrings to match my vibe! 💗)

Plus, although most places sell these as reusable grocery bags, the packaging says they're multi-purpose and can be used as laundry bags for washing your delicates too.

The silk satin of this @lucyjoneslingerie piece is The silk satin of this @lucyjoneslingerie piece is really lovely, but it's the details I love the most - especially the decorative stitching around the neckline which gathers the edge into a gentle scalloped shape. (Swipe to see it 👉) You can really see how much work when into creating this garment when you study it up close.

The designer has spoken in an interview about being inspired by pre-Lycra era lingerie, when you couldn't rely on stretch to create a perfect fit, and these side ties (made from tubes of the silk satin for a thick, luxe feel) are a practical way of getting around that, but also just a very pretty addition to the design!

You can have the ties made in a different colour if you want, but I like this all-red look. Which colour would you have picked for them?

My go-to combination when I need a practical, won' My go-to combination when I need a practical, won't-show bra up top, but I'm feeling fancy. The @lovepanache Clara bra in colour 'Chai' (my daily favourite) with the @love_and_swans Cupid high waist thong. This beaded embroidery still makes me smile every time I pull it out of its box 💘

Do you ever mix lingerie of radically different price points like this? Would love to hear about your favourite combinations!

New review! Getting eighties lingerie teddy vibes New review! Getting eighties lingerie teddy vibes from this @lucyjoneslingerie bodysuit? This is a piece that was first designed at the start of the 80s, and has now been relaunched along with the entire Lucy Jones brand! Given that it works perfectly today, was on trend back in the eighties, and was originally inspired by designs of the 20s and 30s, I think 'timeless' is the perfect word to sum it up.

I'll pop the link in my story to my new blog article reviewing this piece and also the brand's very unusual French thong 🔗

There's a sheer silk organza version too - which would you choose, solid silk or sheer organza?
