All-natural cotton and silk bras for GALs who hate wearing ’em

You know when you buy that one garment that just works? So you wear it literally every time it’s washed? That’s my Julie May “Georgia” Silk Back Support Full Coverage Wireless Organic Cotton Bra.

Full disclosure: I hate wearing a bra, and usually only do so for fashion, when I work out, or to bypass coworkers’ stares. Plus, I have fibromyalgia, which makes wearing straps and underwire sometimes painful — not to mention the discomfort from my recent perimenopausal boob sweats.

The “Georgia” is made from 78% organic prima cotton and 22% silk, with the cup being 100% pure silk. This super-soft, natural fabric combo — the blend for all of Julia May’s products — cools the skin and wicks away moisture, making hot flashes less miserable. 

If that’s not lovely enough, this line of lingerie is allergy-friendly, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic, using dye-free organic cotton — free of chemicals, phthalates, and flame retardants that could cause skin irritation.

Julie May’s exclusive production site conforms to ethical, fair trade, and sustainable standards, and the U.K. company proactively supports sustainable projects around the globe.

While any piece of lingerie around $80 may seem pricey, this pull-over gem is now my (washed) bra on repeat. It’s comfy like your favorite T-shirt, and pretty so you still feel sensual. You can even throw this bralette in the dryer, which makes the buying equation of quality plus quantity actually add up.

I believe that beauty is in everyone. Everyone. I also know that the media and advertising have long been telling us to feel inadequate and to look “better.” That buying a red lipstick isn’t just a boost quicker than espresso — it’s a story of liberation, a color palette of inclusion, and a finger back at the male gaze. I bring this media literacy and feminist lens to the articles that I write and carefully curate. This is my angle. But we’ve come too far to not also have some fun. Along with a personal mission to empower women, I share a lifelong love affair with the beauty industry, where decades of dedication define my profile, both literally and professionally. I’m a self-taught makeup artist who refined her skills in the theater, on set, at the MAC counter, and with cancer survivors. Here, I’ve witnessed beauty’s power to transform. I also love to write. I studied journalism and received my MFA in writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I founded the indie publication, PISTIL Magazine. Stories of beauty, fashion, health and even horoscopes comprise my bylines, along with a long run as Beauty and Editorial Director at Walgreens. Formerly Head of Content at The Midst, I’m now a freelance writer here, bringing that same feminist lens and editorial curiosity to stories about beauty, health, and midlife. I’ve also added yoga training to the mix. My love of beauty has grown to include a deeper curiosity about how we feel in our bodies, especially when those bodies start changing the rules. Menopause, movement, and the messy business of being a woman in midlife have become part of my story, and part of what I want to write about. I share my home in Chicago with my heart, my teenage son, and my rock, my partner. My longtime wish to rescue every senior pet in the city maxes out at two pups and a cat in our fabulous rental — a constant work of art with my obsessive rotation of vintage gems. So, what’s the best part of being in midlife? If I had to choose one thing: confidence. The unwavering confidence to live contentedly and share my truth without fear — because living authentically is the (very hard and) very real expression of beauty.
