Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.
Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
Depending on who you ask, Gen Z has cancelled skinny jeans or perhaps they are back? Trends change, and we should change with them. But what do you do when you have a closet full of skinny jeans in a wide leg world?

This winter was particularly hard on my psyche, on my self-esteem, and on my waistline. As we move into spring, I need to make a plan for how I am going to dress this additional weight over the months of work that it will likely take to shed it. So I was so glad to […]
I haven’t been particularly impressed with the support of the Cosabella busty bralettes, but then, I don’t fall neatly into any of their sizes. However, I have been absolutely living in Sugar Candy bras all quarantine and would recommend them to anyone with a fuller bust.

Fixed. Thanks for flagging.
I especially like bralettes for size fluctuation, I don’t want to buy a bunch of new underwires that I don’t want to wear anyway, but a couple of bralettes that will fit now and later are great.
I really liked the Sloggi at first, but after a few washes (delicate, on cold, line dry) it has really lost its shape and is all saggy on the sides. Not sure if anyone else has experienced that.
I bought a few of the Free Press house brand (I think) bralettes from Nordstrom’s Rack at the beginning of the pandemic, and have loved them. I don’t need a lot of support so can’t speak to that. Way more comfortable than a regular bra, with or without wire. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I have to go back to the office – it’ll be like I’m a teenager again and have to learn to deal with the discomfort of wearing a bra all of the time. (Minus the self consciousness.)
After an extensive search, I’m super happy with the Harper Wilde Bliss bralette. Very soft and comfortable but a nice amount of support – and I’m pretty busty. I’m even content to wear it out of the house under t-shirts, which I can’t say for my other bralettes, including True&Co.
