Reviewing bras for large busts and soft curves, comfortable bras and underwear for women over 40, sleepwear for hot flashes and comfy nights, no-show socks, chafe-preventing slipshorts, control garments, tights, stockings, and more with a focus on size inclusion.
The bralette trend is hot this summer. A little bit of lace or ladder straps peeking out of a tank, from the neck of a deep v-neck tee, or adding flair to a simple camisole is a way to have light support, carry off filmy summer pieces with a bit of coverage, and add interest… Continue Reading Bralettes for Big Busts? A Torrid Review
With the new rug I don’t want to leave the bedroom, it really does pull the room together and inspires me to keep it clean. The weather has been perfect for opening all the windows and letting in the breeze as well as the sound of birds in the backyard. Karl captured me this past… Continue Reading Do New Pajamas Count as Self Care?
Come on Allie, can a pair of socks really be so badass that you’re going to dedicate an entire post to them? YES. YES THEY CAN. Seriously, yes.

I put on the Jockey shorts (also your recommendation) but the seams show. I have tried Spanx and they are a bit too constricting. Any… Continue Reading Ask Allie: What to Wear Under Fitted Knit Dresses
