all things underthings • Manchester Vermont
The first thing you should know is that we are glad you are here! Manchester is a unique and beautiful town. Here’s my guide and some tips! It’s a small town… We all pretty much know each other – especially in the business community. If someone says, “Go to Bob’s or go up to Amy’s,” […]
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 […]
Oh Joy! It’s President’s Weekend and Valentine’s Day too. Whether you’re après skiing or day tripping, Manchester has a whole bunch of fun (and warm) things to do. Of course, the shop will be open for bra buying and Valentining, but here’s some destination ideas if you’re in and around our little town this holiday weekend. […]

I’m liking a lot of things going on in Manchester right now: the leaves are just starting to turn, the pumpkins are getting bigger by the minute, we’re selling a lot of bras and pajamas, and new businesses are opening up around town. Good things are going on here in Vermont, for sure. The new […]
It all started back on February 2nd when I received an email from Dina Janis, the Executive Director of the Dorset Theatre Festival: Hi Joy- We are doing a Pulitzer Prize winning play this summer called Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage. It tells the story of an African American seamstress at the turn of […]
Sticky boobs were a hot item in Manchester last week. It was the week before Prom and Prom “bra” shopping brought a lot of teenage girls into the shop. We had a blast with girls bringing in their dresses or showing us pictures on their iPhone. They were looking for just the right “underthing.” In […]
The second Christmas season at the shop has confirmed that JOY is indeed a magical and hilarious place. The past couple of weeks – and especially the past couple of days – have been a wonderful whirlwind of life and love and laughs. One of the funniest moments was yesterday when there was basically […]
