HELEN OF TROY BRAS

Hello, friends! My name is Brie and Helen of Troy Bras has changed my life. How, you ask? Well, let’s start from the beginning. Puberty. Let’s be honest, that is not an easy stage of life for anyone. Especially when you are a quiet, thirteen year old girl, whose body developed a lot earlier than most of your friends. I was always known as the busty one growing up, and even though my friends…

Different attributes are part of what makes every pair of breasts unique. Our bodies are our own and it is a wonderful thing when you learn to know about yours. When a woman knows about her breast shapes, it opens up a world of understanding. This can be applied to body acceptance, as well as bra shopping. There is no perfect shape; there are only shapes and shape combinations. This post will be…

Jasmine is back in a new colorway and we are in <3

  I have to say the Panache Jasmine is one of my all-time favorite bras.  It’s definitely a bra that makes me feel sexy and I know I can count on her when I want a nice round and lifted shape.  The vertical seams on this bra really pull everything upward and Jasmine never disappoints. This month the Jasmine is back in a very fashionable black floral print and she looks and feels better than ever.…

Bra knowledge can take time to gather and one of my goals for this blog is to teach about all these tidbits of information in one place. As I mentioned in my Bra Journey post, it took me a long time and a lot of money to learn about something that would have saved me both these things. I firmly believe that this will help you on your personal journey towards proper fit, especially if you are…

The Parfait by Affinitas Lola comes in a few different versions, including a balconet, a half-padded, and a bustier. I love when companies do this because it gives us the option of choosing what works best for our shapes. It is a real let-down when we love the pattern or detailing but the cut of the bra just doesn’t work. The half-padded worked best with my shape, though the great fit was totally…

Worldly Full-Bust Brands: The United Kingdom

It is easy to walk into a lingerie store and just see bras. Bras are not just bras though; they have an identity and a background. This identity can be the answer to so many questions I’ve seen and heard asked. What makes me like this bra, but not this bra? How is there such a large difference between designs, even though they both are meant to support? I found a bra I like, but how will I know…

Ooo La La! Parfait Charlotte Balconet Bra and Panty Set

Almost everything I own is black and red BUT I’m learning to expand my color horizons.  Getting a lingerie set in a dusty rose color from Helen of Troy Bras was another small step for me away from the two color scheme wardrobe.

Color: Parfait’s Charlotte Balconet bra and panty set are a delightfully feminine duo.  The soft pink satin finish and black accent give a beautiful retro vibe. …

Bra Shopping With Dad: A Busty Daughter’s Perspective

I have a mom–I do! However, she hasn’t always been too supportive when it comes to…support. The realization that there are girls out there without mothers, either because they are deceased or because they just aren’t there, has brought me to tell you my story of bra shopping with my father. You may be a father who has a pre-teen daughter who is in need of a bra, or you may be a daughter dreading…
