Read the report for the story of how we made it, our inspiration for the idea, and what makes this bralette a better product for fuller chests.

We continue with testing and present our second lace style from the Italian series, Dolce Vita. Here we discuss the idea behind the design, how we tested it, what the results have shown, and what are we going to do next with this style.

We started out with an idea to develop a dressy lightweight chic alternative to our daily styles like Bra du Jour. In this post we discuss how we selected the testers, what testing criteria was important to us, and how did Roman Holiday do in the process.

Décolleté is a beautiful French word meaning ‘wearing a low-neck dress’. It is also a word we use to refer to our upper chest. Today pretty much everyone has the routine of facial cleansing down. But how do we care for the décolleté area to keep it young and radiant?

What is a well-fitting bra? It’s a million-dollar question. Everyone has heard about it, very few have experienced it, and most prefer to discuss how uncomfortable their own bras are.
