Lingerie on Twitter

October 24, 2009 by Krista

DKNY Croco TightsWe here at TLP are huge fans of Twitter!  Are you following us yet (@TheLingeriePost)?  Since I’ve been on Twitter (@KristaTLPLMO), I’ve discovered so many great stores, brands, and bloggers all over the world who love lingerie as much as we do.

Recently, one of the bloggers I follow, @StockingsAddict, posted a great series on her site:  Three Kinds of Lingerie You Should Buy Online and Three Kinds of Lingerie You Shouldn’t Buy Online.  An interesting read and great advice for those of your who are new to buying lingerie online.  If you are hosiery lover, I’m sure you will enjoy the rest of the site as well.

Happy reading!

Bra Sizes as Explained by The Pretty Year

July 12, 2009 by Kelly

Michelle, fashion blogger of The Pretty Year, has recently written some excellent explanations of  the relationship between bra band sizes and cup letters – I just had to share them with you! We have touched on this topic in our bra sizing guide, but Michelle discusses this specific aspect in-depth.  First, she tackled the basics and started her readers out with a quiz.

Question #1: Which of these bras is bigger in cup size?

Question #2: Okay, which of these bras has the bigger cup size?

Question #3: How about these bad boys?

Think you know the answers? You may be surprised! Head on over to The Pretty Year’s post Size Chart Woes: The Naked Truth About Bra Sizes to check your answers and to learn more about the band/cup relationship, the myth of “sister sizing,” and cup size illusions.

Then, in a follow-up post, she said,

…there seems to be a major discrepancy between What We Were All Taught about bra sizing and Bra Reality.

Basically, we were told that cup size is determined by the number of inches difference between our underbust and bust measurements– 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, and so on. Based on this, many of us assumed this meant that all A cups were the same size/volume (i.e., “1 cubic inch” or some such), all B cups were the same size/volume, etc., and that the only difference between, say, a 32D and a 36D was in the band. But nay, as our own photographic evidence suggests, this is not true. Your 36D has significantly more volume in the cup than your 32D, in addition to being wider in the band itself.

Amy Winehouse has a new bra!

June 26, 2007 by Mandolina

Straight from our lovely friends over at the official figleaves blog Blogleaves, a very good spot of Amy Winehouse’s new bra at Glastonbury: the colorful and surprisingly girly Flirt padded balconette adorned with ribbons and bands of lace work. Nothing too expensive for Amy who’s been spotted in a bright yellow and blue Sloggi before: the Flirt is available online at Figleaves UK for just £26.
