What’s the lingerie capital of the world? Chances are you thought of France. It seems synonymous with great underwear and is even where the word lingerie originated. But there’s another country that is doing wonderful things in the world of intimates—Poland. Many European (and for that matter, US) lingerie brands are manufactured abroad, in countries…
Recently I wrote a list of DIY fixes for damaged bras. It covered discoloration, popped underwires, stretched-out straps and tears or holes. But there are other ways a bra can become old and ‘useless’ too. If your bra issue wasn’t featured, perhaps you’ll find it (and a solution) on today’s list. Here are six more…
Early in the year feels like the perfect time to refresh your lingerie wardrobe. But before you hit the shops, take a look at what you already own. Do your bras need replacing, or can you repair or modify them? Is it possible to fix broken bras? Elisabeth previously wrote a list of bra hacks…

Waspies don’t get written about much in the lingerie world. You may even be wondering what one is! A waspie is simply a name for a specific type of corset, an underbust one that’s particularly short. There’s no official definition, but generally speaking, a waspie corset is no more than 8” tall at the side…
Like many little girls, I dreamed of one day becoming a princess (and a mermaid, but that’s for another blog post). I may have grown out of that stage, but my adoration for all things pretty and pink hasn’t faded. One of the reasons that I love lingerie is that it allows us to play…

I recently rounded up 20 red velvet lingerie looks for the holiday season. So naturally, I had to follow-up with that other Yuletide color favorite—dark green lingerie! I think this one is my preferred color for this time of year. Unlike red, which is a typical lingerie color, green is comparatively rare. For me, that…
I love the coziness of Winter. Iced teas get swapped for hot chocolate and the AC for a crackling fireplace.
