Founder + Creative Director
we’re on a mission
To Empower Women to Live Beautiful Lives
Here at Julia B, we’re on a mission to help women live beautiful and empowered lives.
We curate product for women to feel sexy, have fun with lingerie, and be comfortable while doing so. Our goal is to help women feel their best. It’s the mission of Julia B to teach women how great fitting lingerie can make them feel empowered and confident.
Many companies promise great fit using technology or taking a large sampling of measurements from women. Our more than 20 years of experience in the industry has proven this to be a flawed method for ensuring a comfortable and well-fitting bra, in fact, these methods have NEVER worked.
Instead, we rely on proven techniques for bra construction and design that take into account cup size, fabrication, bra, etc to ensure a great fit. These methods have been used on best-selling bras we’ve curated for our clients.
We invite you to try lingerie from our curated lingerie selection and feel the difference a well-constructed piece of lingerie can have on your confidence and how you feel about your body.
