all things underthings • Manchester Vermont
It gets a little quiet around these parts during the week at this time of year. Sure, Martin Luther King weekend brought a lot of skiers and shoppers to town, but outside of that, this month of January can be a bit slow in Manchester. It’s a good time to come to the shop if you […]
“Complete and utter geekdom.” That was Lila’s response when I asked what was going on late this afternoon, our third and last scheduled day for inventory. “We are on it.” She and Connie were at the computer looking like they were enjoying themselves. They’re just that kind of people. To me, what they are doing is rocket […]
Our logo. We play with it a lot. Since the beginning of the bra shop, we’ve changed it to acknowledge things like holidays, seasons, and the weather. It’s our beacon, our touchstone. We use it to connect, to convey, and sometimes just to smile. We kicked off 2016 with a bright and glistening logo on […]
Stories…this dang bra shop is full of them. Please Send Pictures A woman came in to get a gift for her 82-year-old mother.

What’s real is this… One of my roommates from college came in this past weekend with her 11-year-old daughter. My dear friend looks good, her hair is growing back, and her sense of humor still slays me. Her mastectomy was in May. She told me the pocketed bra she tried on was “perfect” and she […]
This week didn’t turn out as I planned. Like many of us, I thought Hillary Clinton was going to be our next President. I even had a whole marketing campaign planned: Bras are everywhere, even in the Oval Office. As my father, a veteran, told me a long long time ago, success is based on […]
Welcome to our very first “Undie of the Month.” Every month, the staff at JOY will give a review of a pair of underwear that we sell at the shop. This month we are reviewing the Wacoal Halo Lace Boyshort. Is this the right panty for you? Here’s what we have to say… TEAM […]
Finding the right underwear is often more difficult than finding the right bra. “I’m looking for….”: A thong. Not a thong. A brief. Not too high on the waist. Not too high on the thigh.
