    Handmade Finds: Lingerie

    By Becky Striepe On January 20, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Buy Handmade

    TMI time! I hate shopping for bras. This is at least partly because I don’t really like wearing a bra, and when I do I tend to go for a bare-bones situation with no padding and no underwire. The thing is, most of the bras I see at stores in my size seem to have all these bells and whistles that really just add up to discomfort.

    The other trouble with store-bought lingerie is that it tends to be far from eco-friendly. It’s usually made from conventional cotton or polyester, and who knows what the working conditions were in the factory that produced it. Boo on that! Here’s some awesome handmade lingerie that’s as cute as it is eco-friendly!
