• SHEFIT Ultimate High Impact Sports Bra Review

  01-02-2022 16:21 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  As a distance runner and a fuller-busted person, sports bras are indispensable to me. “My sports bra is in the laundry” might be a convenient excuse to stay home from the gym. However, for people built like me, it means we really cannot train. I require specialized equipment (in the form of highly-engineered sports bras) to stop pain, chafing, and distraction during runs. It’s non-negotiable. My usual go-to sports bra […]

• This Is Not The End: Where to Find The Lingerie Addict in the Future

  02-05-2022 05:53 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  I am truly overcome at all the supportive comments, messages, and emails I've received since making the incredibly difficult decision to sunset The Lingerie Addict in its current form as primarily a lingerie blog. There's always this sense of "talking into the void" when one is doing work online. You're never really quite sure if people are seeing what you're doing. Just knowing how so many of you saw The […]

• What The Lingerie Addict Means To Me

  30-04-2022 21:40 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  It is not hyperbole to say The Lingerie Addict changed my life. My first encounter with the website was accidental. As a teenager who practically lived on Tumblr, I stumbled across a series of stunning photographs that linked to an article about studying lingerie design. That moment of discovery was like falling down a rabbit hole. Lingerie was not this distant, inaccessible thing I could just stare at longingly from […]

• How The Lingerie Addict Changed My Life

  30-04-2022 21:15 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  Eight years ago, I worked as a waitress at a soda fountain to support my indie loungewear line, she and reverie. All of our products were manufactured in NYC’s garment district, and ethical manufacturing was (and still is) so important to me. So when Cora put out a call for columnists at The Lingerie Addict, I applied. I had never written professionally before, but it always came easily to me. […]

• Fan Lacing: A Love Letter

  29-04-2022 20:54 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  One of my favorite visual corsetry effects is fan-lacing. While it looks beautiful, with its perfect symmetry and matched columns of wraparound, criss-crossed lacing, it also has a very practical purpose. As fancy and complicated as it appears, fan lacing during its heyday was revolutionary for simplifying the process of getting dressed! A Very Short Explanation of Fan Lacing Many people are familiar with the basics of a corset, and […]

  Jessica Stoya is a semi-retired adult performer and writer. Bylines include the New York Times, VICE, The Guardian, and Stoya is half of Slate's How To Do It sex advice column. I’ve spent a lot of time over the past 15 years in front of cameras aiming to look sexy and expensive. I’ve got both adoration for and justification of purchasing luxury lingerie.

  Jessica Stoya is a semi-retired adult performer and writer. Bylines include the New York Times, VICE, The Guardian, and Stoya is half of Slate's How To Do It sex advice column. I’m a difficult fit when it comes to structured lingerie. I’ve got a wide rib cage, with muscle over top, and wide set breasts with wide bases but shallow projection. I’m a 36A, or even 36AA. Looking around, I’m […]

• From Romania to Canada: Lingerie from Around the World, Part 2

  27-04-2022 21:37 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  When I wrote the first guide to Iconic Lingerie Around the World, I knew it would be impossible to include every country's iconic lingerie aesthetics. So we're back with a part two! Globalization has homogenized so much of the fashion industry, and we are so interconnected today. But it's so cool to explore the differences still in existence between countries' iconic styles! We're still limited to what can fit in a […]

  Though I've just announced TLA's closure, I'm not gone yet. Nor does it mean we can't celebrate!

• Saying Goodbye to The Lingerie Addict

  17-04-2022 20:12 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  This is the hardest article I've ever had to write. So much so that I've put it off for as long as I can, even though I know, in my heart, it's the right decision. The Lingerie Addict celebrates its 14th anniversary this month. At the end of April, I'm closing the site for good and saying goodbye to TLA. It feels so final to say this. I've known it […]

• Minimizer Bra Review: Vanity Fair Beauty Back Full Figure Underwire Minimizer

  13-04-2022 15:22 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  I saw a minimizer bra for the first time in junior high. I was trying on bras at my local department store, and almost every bra in my size was labeled as a minimizer. When I asked my mom about it, she said “It just means your nipples don’t show through." But that didn’t really make sense to me. Don’t B cups have nipples, too? I later learned that minimizer […]

• Custom Lingerie Review: Buttress & Snatch Rosa Bud Silk Bra Set

  13-04-2022 14:53 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  To my memory, Buttress & Snatch was one of the first lingerie brands crafting fantastical, fairy tale-inspired luxury lingerie. I remember swooning over their Queen of the Clover on Tumblr, imagining a world where swathes of silk and tiny flowers blossomed out of every piece of lingerie I owned. Today, the brand continues to make some of the most romantic sets out there. Airy arm swags, vintage millinery flowers, scattered […]

• Silk Couture: An Ode To Pillowbook Lingerie

  13-04-2022 14:36 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  It’s strange to think that despite writing dozens of lingerie reviews for The Lingerie Addict in over a decade, I somehow completely managed to neglect writing about Pillowbook Lingerie, one of my all time favourite lingerie brands. This label is an encapsulation of everything that I love about lingerie: beautiful designs that are an absolute joy to wear, and a celebration of true couture craft. Pillowbook Lingerie was founded in […]

• The Bridgerton Effect: Regency-Inspired Short Stays for Modern Corset Lovers

  30-03-2022 23:26 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  There's no other way to say it...I'm obsessed with Netflix's Bridgerton, Season 2. As my husband recently contracted COVID, I've already watched the series twice. (You can find my first Twitter thread here and my second here). Now that my own COVID test has come back positive, I'm anticipating a third rewatch will commence in the next day or two. It's just the perfect quarantine show! However, this article isn't […]

• 10 Ukrainian Lingerie Brands to Know and Support

  If you're reading this, you have the internet. And if you have the internet, you know what's going on in Ukraine. I won't profess to be any great scholar of global politics, diplomacy, and Eastern European history. But what I do know is that Ukrainians are experiencing unspeakable tragedy and fear right this moment. Unsurprisingly, several Ukrainian lingerie designers are among the millions of people who've been uprooted from their […]

A new lingerie set can completely change how you feel in your body, so imagine what it feels like to get an ensemble of intimates made just for you, exactly to your specifications! But the prospect of true custom lingerie can feel a bit overwhelming. Maybe you have an idea for one-of-a-kind wedding […]

• Lingerie Design Challenges: Ready-To-Wear vs. Bespoke

  21-03-2022 21:53 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  Before getting into the nitty gritty of what the differences are between designing for ‘ready-to-wear’ and ‘bespoke’ lingerie, it’s important to first nail down what these phrases actually mean. In a world dominated by fast fashion and half-truth marketing, a lot of the technical terminology around clothing has had its meaning diluted and distorted. This is particularly true of the language around luxury fashion, which is often co-opted by fast […]

• 'And They Lived Happily Ever After': Dreamy Fairy Tale Inspired Lingerie

  09-03-2022 22:52 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  Fairy tales were my favorite stories to read as a kid. They may have originally been written to teach children lessons about right and wrong, but I was in love with the flowery language, the old illustrations, and the spirit of the headstrong, romantic heroines. Wildflower meadows, forbidden forests, enchanted grottos, unicorns and mermaids, witches and kings...for as long as I can remember, I've escaped into those fantasy worlds, dreaming […]

  08-03-2022 02:45 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  It's been 5 years since TLA's last Black-owned lingerie brands list. In that time a lot has changed, most of it for the better. Not only are the majority of brands on 2017's list still in existence - which hasn't always been the case with previous roundup lists - the number of Black-owned lingerie brands available has increased exponentially! Never have there been more lingerie companies owned by Black people […]

• 25 Pieces of Lingerie I Wish I'd Bought: Luxury Edition

  01-03-2022 06:01 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  It's been a minute since I've written one of these features, which could really be called "Introspectives into Buyer's Remorse." Not that I could have actually afforded to buy most of the pieces here, of course, so I suppose it's more like "Theoretical Buyer's Remorse." I keep my spirits up by imagining that somewhere in another universe (or universes) there is another me with a treasure chest full of all […]

• Everyday Bra Review: Maidenform One Fab Fit Racerback Bra

  16-02-2022 05:00 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  One of the oldest American lingerie brands, Maidenform, turned 100 years old this year. Two women and a man founded the brand as a dress shop in 1922, then opened a factory a few years later to mass-produce their bestselling item: bras. As with most century-old businesses, Maidenform has gone through significant changes over the last 100 years. But their goal throughout the company’s history has been to create everyday […]

  This article has been graciously sponsored by Jane's Vanity. Has there ever been a holiday where there's more pressure to buy lingerie than Valentine's Day? Amidst all the expressions of love (and its more corporeal trappings such as flowers and chocolates), there's also this idea that the ultimate gift - the perfect gift - is lingerie. So let's say your paramour (or, for the platonic romantics among you, your best […]

• Fit For a Princess: My Favorite Pink Lingerie Sets

  09-02-2022 18:47 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
  I’m kinda obsessed with the color pink. I feel soothed by it in a way I can’t really explain. I feel most like myself when I wear pink, or when my hair is dyed pink. Or both. If I’m honest, I got into lingerie because of my love of pink. In the early 2000s, frilly and feminine fashion wasn’t super trendy or accessible. Bows, ruffles, and florals were only popular […]

  Few lingerie brands have captivated me in quite the same way as Merle Noir.

Made in Scotland, their cotton bralettes are designed to fit band sizes 26 through 54, and UK cup sizes A through M (European sizes A-S). That’s a huge range!

Think collarbone panels and elegant cage details, combined with lace and mesh. There are quite a few fashionable full bust bra labels these days, but many angle towards the hyper-feminine or super trendy. Avocouture’s styles are elegant, chic, and feel grown up. They’re stylish, yet […]

  18-01-2022 09:31 via thelingerieaddict.com
  
    What do snakes mean? That is to say, is a serpent ever just a serpent? In many Christian countries, snakes are associated with the Garden of Eden, with temptation, and with Eve...and therefore sex and sin. In other cultures, snakes might represent immortality, rebirth, and resurrection. In still more cultures, snakes are perceived as guardians of the divine and protective entities. And who can forget about the "monster" Medusa, […]
