  • More about Erin Donaghy: After enjoying sewing as a hobby for ten years, Erin pursued the fashion design certificate at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. Launching an imaginary brand as a class assignment led to the actual creation of what is now Applause Lingerie. Deciding to focus on lingerie, Erin attended the bra drafting workshop from well-known bra expert Beverly Johnson in Ontario, Canada, and learned about the complexity of bra pattern drafting and fitting. While creating an upcycled look for a Goodwill Challenge where thrifted garments were the primary fabrics of a new garment, this experience provided the inspiration and realization that becoming a sustainable and ethical brand was the only way forward. Since the launch in 2019, Erin continues to provide in-person bra fittings and virtual consultations to serve women with their intimate apparel needs, and is a proud member of the UN Conscious Fashion Campaign.
